In this article we will be using “Dynmap” plugin, if you don’t know how to use plugins, then please take a look at this article “How to install Plugins on your Minecraft server“
How to setup Dynmap on your server
1- After uploading the plugin to your server, start your server, then go the the “Files” tab, and go to this directory “home > container > plugins > dynmap” then open the file “configuration.txt“
2- Find the line that reads “deftemplatesuffix” and adjust it to “vlowres“
3- Next, locate the “webserver-port” and input a port that is not currently in use (to get a new unused port please open a ticket via our site) then hit “Save Content“
4- Go to the “Console” tab, then hit “Start” to start your server
5- After your server has finished loading, verify your Dynmap map by accessing http://IP:PORT in your web browser. Remember to substitute “IP” with your Server IP and “PORT” with the Dynmap Webserver Port, in my case it would be “http://188.40.122.161:2002“
Please keep in mind that in order to completely create your dynamic map, you will need to execute the command “/dynmap fullrender” either in your console or in-game
