How to Set Up and Configure Dynmap

️ How to Access My Rendered World ️

For your world to get rendered you need to first start your server and use the following command:

/dynmap fullrender <worldname>

⚠ NOTE ⚠: Replace <worldname> with your actual world name.

Then, to access your rendered world you need to open the internet browser and type your server IP, followed by : and then the webserver-port you set.

Example: If your server numeric IP is 198.56.78.432 and the webserver-port you set is 8189, you can access your rendered world by tipping in the internet browser 198.56.78.432:8189.
