Dynmap Minimap®

️ DynmapMinimap Plugin v1.7

Description
DynmapMinimap is a lightweight plugin that generates in-game Minecraft map items showing a real-time top-down minimap of the surrounding terrain using Dynmap tile images.

It allows players to run a command and receive a custom-rendered map item centered on their location, using actual Dynmap data. This gives a real minimap feel without requiring any mods!
