About this Mod
Dynmap Radar
Display Dynmap players and markers directly
on Xaero's World Map
and Xaero's Minimap.
Features
Player Tracking
- Shows all online players from a Dynmap server on Xaero's World Map and Minimap
- Renders player heads using real Minecraft skins (vanilla
PlayerFaceRenderer) - Displays player names below heads (supports NAME / ACCOUNT display mode)
- Configurable head size, scale, and update interval
- Automatically excludes locally-loaded (nearby) players
- Minimap distance culling — hides players beyond configurable radius (default 200 blocks)
Marker Rendering
- Full support for four Dynmap marker types:
- Area — filled polygons with outline
- Circle — filled circles with outline
- Polyline — multi-segment lines (thick line via vertex quads)
- Point — custom icons downloaded from Dynmap with labels
- Icons auto-downloaded asynchronously and cached to disk
- Configurable marker scale, point icon scale, and follow-zoom behavior
- Separate layer visibility for world map and minimap — show/hide individual marker sets independently
- Minimap distance culling — hides distant markers beyond configurable radius (default 200 blocks)
Right-Click Menu (World Map)
- Copy Name — copy marker/player name to clipboard
- Copy Coordinates — copy
x y zto clipboard - Copy Full Info — copy name + coordinates + description (markers only)
- Teleport — teleport to the marker/player using Xaero's built-in teleporter (respects Xaero's teleport command
settings) - Create Waypoint — instantly create a Xaero Minimap waypoint at the marker/player location (configurable color)
Minimap Support
- Optional rendering of markers and player heads on Xaero's Minimap
- Shape rendering on minimap (area/circle/polyline) can be toggled separately
- Configurable distance culling radius to keep minimap clean
Dependencies
- Xaero's World Map
- Xaero's Minimap
- A server running Dynmap
Quick Start
- Install the mod and dependencies
- Join a server that has Dynmap running
- Set the Dynmap URL:
/dradar settings url set http://yourserver.com:8123 - Open Xaero's World Map — players and markers will appear
- Right-click any marker or player for options (copy, teleport, create waypoint)
Important Notes
- Rendering non-point markers in minimap is buggy, use with caution (toggle
minimapShapessetting) - Currently only supports servers which can see online map without authentication. Support for auth-protected servers may
be added in the future.

Dynmap Radar server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Dynmap Radar compatible with fabric?
Dynmap Radar officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Dynmap Radar – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Dynmap Radar consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
