How to Install and Configure Dynmap

Dynmap creates live, web-based maps of your Minecraft worlds that players can view in any browser. Note: More optimized alternatives include BlueMap and squaremap.

​
Installation

  1. Download Dynmap from SpigotMC (Bukkit) or CurseForge (Forge/Fabric)
  2. Place the JAR in plugins (Bukkit) or mods (Forge/Fabric) folder
  3. Restart your server
  4. Stop the server after it starts
  5. Create a port in Network tab
  6. Open plugins/dynmap/configuration.txt
  7. Set the port and web path (e.g., /dynmap)
  8. Start your server
You need a public IP or port forwarding for others to access Dynmap.

​
Reverse Proxy (Custom Domain)

Use a reverse proxy to access Dynmap with a custom domain instead of an IP address.

​
With berrybyte (Lime)

  1. Create a DNS record pointing to cotton.api.berrybyte.network (set Cloudflare to DNS only if using it)
  2. Go to Proxies Manager and click Create Proxy
  3. Enter your domain in Source and the Dynmap port allocation in Allocation
  4. Click Create

​
Local/Other Provider (Advanced)

Automatic setup: 
curl -s https://cdn.berrybyte.net/scripts/dynmap.sh | sudo bash
Manual setup:
  1. Set up a server with Nginx: sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install nginx
  2. Create DNS record pointing to the proxy server IP
  3. Add Nginx config:
server {
    server_name your-domain.com;
    listen 80;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://YOUR-SERVER-IP:PORT;
    }
}
  1. Restart Nginx: sudo systemctl restart nginx

​
Usage

Access Dynmap at http://your-server-ip:port/webpath (e.g., http://yourdomain.com:20029/dynmap).
  • Switch between maps using the dropdown
  • View online players on the right
  • Click player names to see their location
  • Use the search bar to find locations or players

​
Customization

Click Configure Dynmap in the web interface to adjust zoom, player visibility, and map appearance. For advanced options, edit plugins/dynmap/configuration.txt.
