Dynmap

Dynmap is the grandfather of Minecraft web mapping, with over a decade of development and millions of servers running it worldwide. When you need a reliable, feature-rich map solution with proven stability, Dynmap is the go-to choice that server administrators have trusted for years.

Why Choose Dynmap?

Dynmap's longevity means extensive documentation, community support, and compatibility with virtually every plugin ecosystem. If something integrates with a web map, it almost certainly supports Dynmap first. This makes it ideal for servers using many plugins that need map integration.

Multiple Rendering Modes

Dynmap offers several map styles: flat top-down views for navigation, isometric 3D-style views for aesthetics, and cave maps for underground exploration. Server admins can enable multiple views simultaneously, letting players choose their preferred perspective.

Real-Time Features

Watch players move across the map in real-time, see chat messages appear, and track world changes as they happen. Dynmap's live features create an engaging spectator experience for players not currently online.

Extensive Plugin Support

Dynmap integrates with hundreds of plugins: Towny shows town borders, Factions displays claimed territory, WorldGuard regions appear on the map, and economy plugins can show shop locations. This integration ecosystem is unmatched by any other mapping solution.

Server Requirements

Dynmap is moderately resource-intensive during rendering. We recommend 4-6GB RAM for servers running Dynmap, with rendering scheduled during low-activity periods. Storage needs are significant - expect 1-5GB per world depending on size and render quality.

Web Server Options

Dynmap includes a built-in web server but also supports external web server integration for better performance. Our servers can configure either option based on your needs.

Customization

Extensive configuration options let you adjust render quality, update frequency, visible information, and map styling. Create custom markers, set up automatic render schedules, and configure exactly what information appears on your map.

Proven Reliability

Dynmap's decade-plus track record means bugs are rare and quickly fixed. The large user community ensures problems are identified and solutions shared rapidly.
