GlymeraWebMap — Your World, Live in the Browser

A live map of your server world that anyone can open in a web browser — like Dynmap, for Hytale. The plugin serves the map itself from your game server: no web hosting, no external services, no accounts. Install the jar, open http://<your-server-ip>:8123, and share the link with your players.

What is GlymeraWebMap?

A persistent, ever-growing map of your server. While players explore in-game, the plugin renders the world from Hytale's own cartography into map tiles and serves them on a built-in web page. Everything mapped once stays on the map forever — it keeps growing across restarts, slowly building a complete picture of your world that visitors can browse from anywhere, on any device, without launching the game.

Features

Live player markers. See who is online and where they are, updated every few seconds. Click a name in the online list to jump straight to that player and watch them uncover new land as they travel.
Pan & zoom viewer. Drag to pan, scroll to zoom, with a coordinate readout under the cursor. Clean dark theme, works on phones and tablets too.
Multi-world support. Every world gets its own map; switch between them with the world selector. New worlds appear automatically once a player visits them.
Persistent exploration. The map never forgets: terrain stays visible even when chunks unload or everyone logs off. Over days of play it grows into a full atlas of your server.
Completely self-hosted. The page, the tiles and all data live on your server and nowhere else. Nothing is sent to any external service.

For Admins — Setup in Two Steps

Drop the jar into your server's mods/ folder and start the server. That's the whole installation — the config writes itself with working defaults.
Open TCP port 8123 in your firewall or hoster panel (the one thing a plugin cannot do for you). The port can be changed in the config if 8123 is taken.

Then give the map your server's name — in-game, as OP:

/webmap title My Awesome Server

The name appears on the page within seconds. /webmap (OP-only) shows status and the URL to share.

Optional settings in mods/de.glymera_GlymeraWebMap/config.json:

playerMarkers: false — hide live player positions from the page (privacy)
port / bindAddress — where the web server listens
title — the page title, if you prefer editing the file over the command
render cadence and budget — sensible defaults, no tuning needed

Good to Know

The map is rendered from the game's own cartography at its native resolution, so it always matches what players see on their in-game map.
Tiles render near online players only, on background threads, with a hard per-pass budget — no impact on world tick performance, and an idle server does no map work at all.
Tiles are plain PNG files under mods/de.glymera_GlymeraWebMap/tiles/ — trivially easy to back up, and deleting them simply resets the map (it re-fills as players explore).
Browsers cache tiles aggressively; the page only re-downloads a tile when its pixels actually changed. A handful of open map pages costs your server next to nothing.
Works standalone — no other plugin required.
