Introduction
This plugin is installed on all UniversalCraft Paper servers.
The Dynmap plugin provides a visible map of all worlds that can be viewed in a web browser. The map displays all generated chunks within a world and shows where currently logged in players are located.
Dynmap is also aware of the WorldBorder plugin and will display the configured border on all world maps.
Disk Space Usage
Dynmap is a truly amazing piece of work. It’s usefulness, popularity and extensibility are self-evident given the number of other independent plugins that can interact with it to add their own informational layers onto the world maps. Running Dynmap on your own Minecraft server would certainly be a well received gameplay upgrade for your players. There’s only one problem with adding Dynmap to a Minecraft server. Your disk space requirements will go through the roof!
Dynmap allows you some control over the amount of storage space that the maps it generates will need by way of the “deftemplatesuffix” property as defined in the configuration.txt file within the plugins/dynmap directory. This property makes little difference to the default two-dimensional “flat” maps that this plugin displays, but is much more apparent on the isometric “surface” maps:


At UniversalCraft, we always want to provide the very best experience for our players, so all of our servers are configured to generate “hires” maps. We have experimented with different WorldBorder radii for our worlds and have measured the following maximum disk space requirements as the border of a world increases:
OverWorld Border Radius | Disk Space (hires) |
---|---|
500 blocks | 783MB |
1,000 blocks | 1,056MB |
2,000 blocks | 3,723MB |
5,000 blocks | 20,035MB |
10,000 blocks | 73,372MB |
20,000 blocks | 284,716MB |
So, by the time that you’ve expanded your world border even to just a fairly modest 20,000 block radius, Dynmap is already going to need more than a quarter of a terabyte just for storing the pre-rendered “hires” map tiles!
