Installing Dynmap

1. Download the matching version of Dynmap for your server from the links below:

   Forge	1.12.2	Dynmap-<version>-forge-1.12.2.jar	GitHub Releases
   Forge	1.13.2	Dynmap-<version>-forge-1.13.2.jar	GitHub Releases
   Forge	1.14.4	Dynmap-<version>-forge-1.14.4.jar	GitHub Releases
   Forge	1.15.2	Dynmap-<version>-forge-1.15.2.jar	GitHub Releases
   Forge	1.16.1	Dynmap-<version>-forge-1.16.1.jar	GitHub Releases
   Forge	1.16.2	Dynmap-<version>-forge-1.16.2.jar	Curseforge
   Forge	1.16.3	Dynmap-<version>-forge-1.16.3.jar	Curseforge
   Forge	1.16.4	Dynmap-<version>-forge-1.16.4.jar	Curseforge
   Forge	1.16.5	Dynmap-<version>-forge-1.16.5.jar	Curseforge
   Fabric	1.15.2	Dynmap-<version>-fabric-1.15.2.jar	Curseforge
   Fabric	1.16.1	Dynmap-<version>-fabric-1.16.1.jar	Curseforge
   Fabric	1.16.2	Dynmap-<version>-fabric-1.16.2.jar	Curseforge
   Fabric	1.16.4	Dynmap-<version>-fabric-1.16.4.jar	Curseforge

   
   
2. Upload the Dynmap .jar file to the server
   If you're using Spigot/PaperMC/Fabric it will need to be placed into the "Plugins Folder"
   If you're using Forge it will need to be placed into the "Mods Folder"
   
   
3. Click the "Mod Manager" in the Game panel - then install the "Dynmap" Mod (this opens the port Dynmap uses and creates a direct link in the game panel to your server's Dynmap)
   
   
4. Run the server once, then once it's completed the startup process stop it again (this creates the Dynmap configuration files)
   
   
5. Click "File Manager" in the game panel and navigate to:
   For Spigot/PaperMC/Fabric type servers → plugins\dynmap
   For Forge type servers → mods\dynmap
   
   Click the pencil (edit button) next to configuration.txt
   Find the line which says webserver-port: 8123 change the 8123 value to your servers port + 1
   For example, if your server's IP:Port is 173.56.62.5:25585 you would change it to webserver-port: 25586
   Save the file.
   
   
6. Start up your server - If you click the "View Dynmap" button in your game panel you will see your Dynmap, and it will look something like this:
   
   This is because the map has not yet been rendered. To render the map complete the next step.
   
   
7. Log on to your server. Make sure you are a server operator. Type the command /dynmap render in the in-game chat, the server will then begin rendering the map.
   
   Once it's completed it will look similar to this:
   
   
   
8. Enjoy Dynmap!
