Geyser Support for Logging in

Get support for bedrock players connecting via geyser: Currently there is no way to log into the website using geyser. If you do this, it will return invalid ID (which i assume to be UUID), so it would be nice if there was an alternative for using UUIDs to support bedrock players connecting to the server?

Find geyser here: https://geysermc.org/ https://github.com/GeyserMC/Geyser Suggestion by @zentag in #3449

Add the Fog of War effect on explored but out of range tiles

I had this idea for Fog of War where the map would have a CSS rgba(0,0,0,0.5) layer over tiles or chunks that hasn't had a block-render within 10 chunks or so. If a block is placed at 0, 64, 0, then fog of war would lift the rgba(0,0,0,0.5) to rgba(0,0,0,0) and look bright and clear within a wide range from the tile updated.

This would allow people to explore something fresh by seeking darker areas on the map while having the entire map previously rendered, lessening the strain on the CPU when the players are exploring. This would drastically improve the immersion of having a map and wanting to explore areas. While the terrain could still be seen on the map, having a darker area would prove no one has built there and give that authentic sense of exploration, rather than seeing everything on the map at a glance.

This would be a cool cross between this: http://wiki.hatventures.net/images/thumb/5/58/Dynmap1.png/700px-Dynmap1.png

and this: http://i57.tinypic.com/69j62h.jpg

Which might look a little like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Freeciv-net-screenshot-2011-06-23.png

Add toggle whether or not dynmap automatically adds new world maps on world creation

I have a system that creates new worlds on the fly, but every world always gets shown on the dynmap. I found no option to disable it from automaticly trying to show new worlds.

If this config option already exists, where can I find it? If not, could it be added?

Thanks

Add Cuberite Support

I would love to see Dynmap support Cuberite. It's a FOSS Minecraft server alternative written in C++, you can compare it to Bukkit and Spigot. It uses Lua for it's plugins. API documentation is available here.

Since it's devs welcome any plugin, they are probably eager to help out wherever needed.

Websocket for map updates

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSockets_API/Writing_a_WebSocket_server_in_Java

Most MC players should be using up-to-date browsers. I believe Dynmap will benefit from using websockets to give the live map viewers instant and update of player position, health, and map tile location while keeping the used bandwidth to the minimum. The traditional method can be used for those not on the modern browsers or those unable to access the websocket port.

Support for BungeeCord Servers/Maps

mikeprimm - I know you're only keeping the maintenance of the plugin updated, but I've recently switched to using BungeeCord Server and putting all my worlds under it. This as you know is the proxy for the rest of the worlds by keeping them behind the proxy server (BungeeCord) and restricting direct access. Unfortunately, it still opens the server for intrusion because of the dynmap port on the spigot server itself which means they are still getting hit directly. What I'm proposing is a change that a Dynmap plugin be installed on BungeeCord plugin folder (not the mc spigot servers), that have pointers to the mc server dynmap ports. So BC would be the proxy to display the maps for each world in that plugin.

I'm not expecting any rendering be done thru bungee, only a web page that allows for a drop down list of the worlds registered by BungeeCord that I can switch between them and get the generated maps from the back end servers. So basically what this guy did for the same setup, but the download link isn't working. http://maps.yeahwh.at/

Thanks for considering taking this to a new level. :-) Steve

Adding markers and areas online

We are having a city-scale project undergoing, and would like to have districts sliced up. The districts has been sliced on some Photoshop-like software, and we are ready to build things on it. But when comes to dynmap, we see the hassle to add markers and areas from config to textpads, and necessity of copying coordinates from dynmap to somewhere else back and forth.

So I am suggesting that dynmap can allow logged in users, to add markers and areas by clicking on a single spot, or adding areas by selecting multiple point.

Support for Async Chunk Loading (Paper)

Hi mike, it's been a long time since we spoke!

Paper has an API addition that allows plugins to request chunks asynchronously. This API has existed since 1.9 roughly.

I'm requesting DynMap add support for this by detecting if World#getChunkAtAsync exists, and if it does, use an alternative chunk loader that uses the Paper API method.

By doing this, Paper will be able to asynchronously load all chunks. We also have a World#isGenerated(x,z) method that you may find useful too since you were using NMS for that logic already.

I am also planning to add a new method in 1.13 to "getChunkAtAsyncWithoutLoading" kind of concept, that would suit dynmaps needs, in that we can load the chunk but never post it into the world.

This would remove your need to immediately unload the chunk.

Many server owners are switching to Paper, and I'm hoping you can add this support so that dynmap can be nearly free in performance cost.

I would love if you would join the Paper discord, and I can speak more with you on there if you need :) https://paperdiscord.emc.gs

Thanks, hope to reconnect soon!

Minecolonies

I'd like to request support for Minecolonies within Dynmap, if possible.

Edit: I'm referring to displaying colony information on the map, the textures are all fine except the roofing.

It's extremely popular, and its built in claim/permission system means that GriefPrevention (which also has excellent Dynmap support) isn't necessary.

Permissions node to force players being visible on the map

It would be nice if we could restrict who shows up on the map via a Permission node, that would overrule an individual's show/hide command. Something like dynamp.forcehide or dynmap.forceshow My intended usage would be to assign permissions to users for specific contexts that aren't always able to run the show/hide command on a trigger.

Provide some more information for fullrender

Would it be possible to show the actual percentage progress of a fullrender task and maybe even estimated time remaining to complete it?

There is another project "Minecraft Overviewer" which is able to know the actual progress in percent and the estimated time remaining, so I guess it might be also possible to implement it in dynmap.

Another cool feature would be to provide the render progress in the web frontend.

I know there was already a similar discussion back in 2011 (#140), but maybe today, there are some more possibilities. So I give it another try to ask. :-)

CORS Configuration Support

There is any way to setup the CORS with Dynmap. I want to be able to consume the Dynmap API from third party servers but I have the CORS restriction:

No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'

So that, I want to enable the CORS (with a simple header into the response of any request) like the following:

HTTP HEADERS
Access-Control-Allow-Origin YOUR-DOMAIN.TLD
Access-Control-Allow-Headers Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept

Could be nice if already exist this option and you guys, could help me with this, otherwise, could be a nice new feature into the plugin.

Add the ability to change the light emission of light sources in the world

I created a separate night map for my server. The map generates fine, but it's really dark. I have played with the ambient light value, but right now it looks like Minecraft with the brightness slider set all the way to "moody". Is there a way to change the shader so it looks like the game with the brightness slider set to "bright"?

I understand I can just change the ambient brightness, but I don't want the entire world lit up. I want the areas lit up with torches to be more "fully" lit while keeping the uninhabited areas at the normal ambient brightness. It seems like the brightness slider in-game increases the falloff range or the brightness of light sources, which is what I want to do.

Retain viewer configuration between sessions

It would be cool if dynmap would save the viewer configuration (Enabled/disabled categories, selected map, zoom level, etc.) to localStorage or something so that the users don't have to adjust this to their individual preferences every time they look at the dynmap.

Allow network segments in trusted-proxies

Right now, one can only specify a list of ip addresses for trusted-proxies. I run dynmap in a k8s cluster, and can't specify one, since it can change per each rollout. Instead, I'd like it to allow pass a CIDR such as 10.244.0.0/16. Notice you can still specify a single ip with a /32 suffix if desired

Add the ability to define visibility limits per map

You can define visibility limits for a world to render only certain locations. I would like to define such a limit only for the 3d view of my overworld as thats pretty huge (around 150GB+ for a 30k*30k world). To me it seems like you can only set these limits for a world, not for a single map on that world. Is there a workaround for this?

Set a temporary marker at the urls position

Feature Description: When generating or opening a link that includes coordinates as query parameter (e.g. https://map.example.com/?worldname=world&mapname=flat&zoom=4&x=616&y=64&z=4010), show a temporary marker to the user at the given position. This should be helpful to see the precise position on the map. The map generator 'Overviewer' already supports the creation of clientside markers by adding parameters to the url. It would be nice to have to define a default marker icon in the config or even pass the icons id as url parameter.

Show last 15 messages in webchat while typing

Feature Description:

Additional context: Goal of this feature request is to bring the web chat closer to the in-game chat experience. It's easy to miss someone’s message, especially when the map is open on another tab or screen. With this feature users would be able to see the last messages again just like in-game when you open chat with 'T'. By only showing up when the chat is being used, this does not block the view of the map. On the technical side, all messages shown in the chat box need to be saved temporarily and deleted as new ones come in. That includes join and quit messages. This could all be done client side in the existing JavaScript.

Future improvements: The suggested feature and its scope was chosen because its perceived simplicity and ease of implementation. The next logical step would be to have all messages saved and offer a scrollable chat box when in focus. Another possible improvement would be to fetch the most recent messages from the server when the webpage is opened.

S3 Storage Support

Feature Description: On some large servers, its very easy to run out of disk space and sometimes even filesystem inodes. AWS S3 storage doesn't have those limitations, however it also isn't a filesystem you can just mount; you can only upload files to it through their API. Amazon provides a lovely SDK for doing this and it seems like it fully supports all the same operations as the filetree backend, including storing file metadata inside S3. Another great bonus of S3 is that objects may be read-only accessible using a regular old-fashioned URL that any browser can understand, meaning its possible to offload all of the HTTP file request handling off of dynmap. In effect, server operators can get all the benefits of a fancypants global CDN with zero of the work needed to maintain it and keep it up to date. I might be playing on a server based in Spain (with a 200ms ping :E), but at least the map tiles would be served up lightning fast from the west coast CDN edge nodes!

I myself use DigitalOcean, not AWS, however DigitalOcean's Spaces product provides a S3 compatible API, so this feature wouldn't be limited to just one platform.

I'm hoping to make time over my upcoming winter holiday and hack on this and come back with a pull request.

Add the ability to view light levels in caves

There should be the ability to toggle on and off a feature to see the light level in caves. This can be represented with a yellow gradient; the most yellow areas would be light level 14 where as the least yellow areas would be light level 0. This would make it easier for us to see which caves we have fully lit up.

Integrate a seed-based tool like Amidst/MineAtlas into Dynmap

Most of a Minecraft world is unexplored, and it takes a massive amount of storage space to load all the chunks. How about a setting where Dynmap uses an seed-based map like MineAtlas or Amidst to fill in the blanks where there's no world data? This would be useful for servers that don't want to pre-generate all of the chunks within a radius. It would also allow players to scout the map, looking for interesting destinations infinitely far out.

Dynmap Sign Setname Permission dynmap.marker.sign.setname

Feature Description: We curerntly have dynmap.marker.sign which allows the use of signs to put markers into a default-sign-set:, which works well, but I would like to limit the use of the set: on signs based on permissions, I have a hidden set that Contributors can add markers to, but its only toggled on manually by players, they could currently add markers to the main markers set which are default on, but ive not doucmented the set: line on signs anywhere at present. At some point someone will figure this out.

Please can you add in permissions to sets users can add markers too using signs, for example;

dynmap.marker.sign.* (All sets)
dynmap.marker.sign.markers (Set named "markers")
dynmap.marker.sign.contributors  (Set named "contributors")

We also have some third party plugins that auto add sets, which we dont want players being able to add markers into!
