What Dynmap is

Dynmap is a set of Minecraft mods that creates a live, web-based map for supported server implementations. It supports Spigot/PaperMC, Forge, and Fabric, with compatibility ranges that differ by server type: Spigot/PaperMC and Fabric are listed through Minecraft 1.21.4, while Forge is listed from 1.12.2 through 1.20.6. Maps include a 2D view, dimension maps, live updates, and markers and waypoints. Storage choices include flat files, MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and AWS S3; S3 can also host the map website. Dynmap publishes a stable cross-platform DynmapCoreAPI and a stable API for Spigot/Bukkit. SQL drivers are generally included for Spigot and related implementations, but may need to be added for Forge or Fabric. The project is free and licensed under Apache License 2.0. Its README points users to Discord and a subreddit for community discussion. The project supports Windows, Linux including x86 and ARM, macOS, and Docker environments.
