LiveAtlas

A Dynmap frontend for the modern web, built with Vue.js and typescript.

LiveAtlas is a drop-in replacement for the original Dynmap frontend, which aims to provide a more modern interface and improved performance for busy maps.

Development is ongoing, and there are some rough edges, but most of the Dynmap features used by a typical Minecraft server have been implemented.

You can see it in action here and here

Installation

Using an external webserver is recommended.

External webserver

Download the latest release.
Extract into your webserver root. Any existing index.html should be overwritten.
Clear any CDN caches you may have
Done.

Default internal webserver

Download the latest release.
Extract into plugins/dynmap/web. The existing index.html should be overwritten.
(Recommended) Set index.html as readonly. This will prevent Dynmap overwriting it after every update.
Clear any CDN caches you may have.
Done.

Customisation

The index.html file can be edited to add custom favicons, styles or analytics, just like the original Dynmap. You are also free to build LiveAtlas yourself to make further changes.

Building

First run npm install to install LiveAtlas dependencies. You can then either run npm run serve to start a local dev server, or npm run build to build.

Support

If you find a bug, please create an issue with as must detail as possible. I'm working on this in my spare time, so fixes are on a best effort basis, but I'll eventually find time for them.

Please do not contact the Dynmap team regarding any issue with LiveAtlas. They will be very upset.
