Setting up the Dynamic Map plugin under Linux - Neder/dynmap GitHub Wiki
This page assumes:
- Your Minecraft-server directory to be:
/opt/minecraft_server/
. - You have the latest CraftBukkit installed.
- Your Minecraft server is hosted at
localhost
.
To install and test dynmap:
- Copy the file
dynmap.jar
and the folderdynmap
to/opt/minecraft_server/plugins/
. - (Re)start your Minecraft server.
- Join your Minecraft server.
- Place a few blocks.
- Open up your browser.
- Navigate to http://localhost:8123/.
You should see your map with your name in the top-left. Once you click on your name, the map will pan to your location and your should see a part of the map that has been generated.
Publishing
If you want the map to be accessible for others, you have two options:
- Forward an external port to your internal minecraft server with TCP port 8123. For more information on port-forwarding: http://portforward.com/.
- Host the map partly on your big webserver. Note that the webserver must already have access to the Minecraft server. See below.
Big Webservers
If you are hosting a Apache or lighttpd server, you might want to be able to get to the Dynmap-map from the same url as your website. Like http://www.yourwebsite.com/dynmap/ instead of http://www.yourwebsite.com:8123/. If this is the case, you can pick your webserver from the list below.
