How to Install Dynmap on a Minecraft Server

Minecraft·March 22, 2026·7 min read

1. First, you must download Dynmap from the official SpigotMC website, where you find most plugins: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/dynmap%C2%AE.274/. Select the version corresponding to your Minecraft server and download the .jar file.

2. After downloading the Dynmap .jar file, place it in the plugins folder of your Minecraft server.

3. Restart the Minecraft server so that it recognizes Dynmap and generates the configuration files correctly.

4. Once Dynmap has been installed on the server, you can configure it to fit your needs. Open the Dynmap configuration file (config.yml) in a text editor.

5. In the configuration file, you will find several options that you can adjust to customize Dynmap. Some of the most common options include:

- set webserver-port: Sets the port that Dynmap will use for the web server. By default, this is set to port 8123.

- set webserver-bind-address: Sets the IP address that the Dynmap web server should bind to. By default, this is set to "0.0.0.0", which means Dynmap is available to all devices.

set default-zoom: Sets the default zoom level for the map. By default, this is set to 0, which shows the full map.

- set title: Sets the title that appears at the top of the Dynmap web page.

6. Once you have finished setting the configuration options, save and close the configuration file.

7. Then, you must open the port entered in the Dynmap configuration from the panel. To do this, go to the "Ports" tab in the left menu. Once inside, click the "Add extra port" button, and enter the port you entered in the plugin configuration earlier.

8. Restart the Minecraft server so that the server detects the new port. Once it starts, stop it, go back to "Ports" and select the other port as primary.

10. Open your web browser and access the server IP address followed by ":8123". For example, if the server IP address is "192.168.1.2", you should access "http://192.168.1.2:8123". If everything has been configured correctly, you should see the map of your Minecraft server in your browser.

Done! You now have Dynmap installed and configured on your Minecraft server. You can further customize the Dynmap configuration to add markers, configure layers and set permissions for users.
