How to Use Dynmap

Dynmap is a powerful tool that brings your Minecraft server to life by providing an interactive, real-time map of your world. In this guide, you'll learn how to install and configure Dynmap so that you can easily track player activity on your Minecraft server.

How to Install Dynmap

To install Dynmap on a Minecraft server:

Install Dynmap

Add Dynmap to your plugins folder

Drag and drop or upload the plugin into your plugins folder

Reserving A New Port

Open your Apollo Panel

Open the Network tab and click on Create Allocation to create an additional port number. This additional port will be used for Dynmap.

Do not use the default server IP port, since the default port is only used for joining your server, only use the new port

Configuring Dynmap

Log into your Apollo Panel

Open your Files tab on the left-hand side of your console and open the plugins folder


Open the dynmap folder


Open the configuration.txt folder


Locate the line webserver-port: 8123 and change the 8123 to the new port you've created. Do not use your server IP port.



Now save your config file and start or restart your server to start the connection

You can now connect to your Minecraft world through your web browser by searching http://IP:PORT: for example http://1.1.1.1:20000/
