| '''EarthMC Dynmap+''' (formerly earthmc-dynmapcolor) is an [https://github.com/3meraldK/earthmc-dynmap open-sourced] browser extension created by [[3meraldK]] in February 2022 which adds multitude of features and modifies [https://map.earthmc.net EarthMC's map website]. The extension is available in two versions: regular extension only for Chromium browsers (Chromium browsers are Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, etc.), and Tampermonkey userscript (for other browsers such as Firefox or Safari). EarthMC Dynmap+ is inspirated from [[FranchuFranchu]]'s [https://github.com/FranchuFranchu/emc-dynmap-colors emc-dynmap-colors] extension. First versions only colored mega-nations, but as new versions were being released, content was being added progressively.<br><br> | | '''EarthMC Dynmap+''' is an [https://3meraldk.github.io/earthmc-dynmap open-source], all-browser extension created by [[3meraldK]] in February 2022 which enhances the user experience on [https://map.earthmc.net EarthMC's map website] by adding a wide range of features and modifying aesthetics. The add-on gained great renown in following years, counting ~44,000 total downloads on GitHub repository (as of September 2026) and peak of ~1,200 users (in November 2025) who installed extension via [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_Web_Store Chrome Web Store (CWS)]. |
| [https://github.com/3meraldK/earthmc-dynmap/#getting-started Here is guide] how to download it. | | |
| | The extension was inspired by [[FranchuFranchu]]'s [https://github.com/FranchuFranchu/emc-dynmap-colors emc-dynmap-colors] web extension. The first versions of the add-on were limited to coloring (combining) towns into their respective [[alliance]]s. Over time, the project expanded into a full-scale extension that introduced user utilities and numerous tweaks. |
| | |
| | In early 2026, the extension has seen two distinct and feature-rich forks made by [https://github.com/EarthMC-Toolkit/earthmc-dynmap Owen3H] and [https://github.com/JasonSolace/earthmc-dynmap-cross-browser Solasaur], with the latter gaining significant popularity (~1,500 CWS users in peak) in the first half of 2026. In July 2026, [https://modrinth.com/mod/emcmap-addon a Minecraft mod] inspired by EarthMC Dynmap+ was "vibe-coded" by JR1258 which also went viral upon its introduction. |

| ''As of version 1.16 released on 18 September 2024.''
| |
| === Map modes === | | === Map modes === |
| * Ability to switch between three map modes: "meganations", "alliances" and "default".
| | The entire project originated from bringing users the ability to switch between three map modes: "meganations," "alliances," or "default." The live alliance registry used by the extension is maintained by the team at [[EarthMC Stats|EMC Toolkit]]. You can contribute to the registry or request a change [https://discord.gg/AVtgkcRgFs in this Discord server]. |
| ** "meganations" color all [[mega nation]]s individually.
| |
| ** "alliances" color all [[alliance]]s.
| |
| ** "default" does not color towns.
| |
| ** Data about all meganations and alliances is brought by [https://discord.gg/AVtgkcRgFs EMC Toolkit Development server] and Owen3H who is also the developer of EMC Stats bot.
| |
| *** By joining the above Discord server players can request any change which is visible with the extension: mega-nation's outline/fill color, full name, list of members.
| |
| === Archive mode === | | === Archive mode === |
| * Allows to roll town claims and statistics back to the beginning of [[Terra Aurora]].
| | It is a revolutionary tool that makes it significantly easier to browse through thousands of archived days of towns and nations since 2016, the very beginning of EarthMC. Prior to its introduction, users had to browse through the Wayback Machine archive index, only to be limited by page errors. Statistics about towns are preserved by the aforementioned digital archive; map tile imagery is not preserved, and the archiving is done independently by players or automated scripts. |
| ** Data about archives is brought by the digital archive of [https://web.archive.org/ The Wayback Machine].
| | === Locators === |
| ** Map tiles are not archived.
| | Users have the ability to locate towns and nations by name, as well as find which towns specific players live in. The archive mode also has this capability. |
| === Locating === | |
| * User can locate player, town or nation in search bar. Submitting will set map's view on searched prompt.
| |
| === Map layers === | | === Map layers === |
| * Real country borders downloaded from EarthMC archive.
| | The EarthMC map had a built-in country borders layer a long time ago. EarthMC Dynmap+ reintroduces both country and province layers in much greater detail. |
| * Chunk layer.
| | === Aesthetics === |
| === Dark mode === | | Default town stroking and map brightness make the user experience far beyond unbearable. The extension fixes both problems and adds a dark mode, making it more comfortable to explore the map at night. Standard town descriptions don't look good or descriptive enough; EarthMC Dynmap+ aims to change that. |
| * Option allowing to decrease brightness of map, making the view more clean.
| |
| * Dark mode style.
| |
| === Player lookup === | | === Player lookup === |
| * Player icons on the map are clickable.
| | Player nameplates and usernames in town descriptions are interactive, opening a quick and basic look-up about the player. |
| * Usernames on town's information are clickable.
| | === Quality of Life === |
| * Upon clicking an username, user can look basic information about clicked player up.
| | A button to share current location on the map behaves in more convenient way, copying the link to clipboard. Unlike on the standard map, users can zoom out to view the entire world at once. |
| === Updates === | |
| * Users can download the extension from [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/earthmc-dynmap+/hgfdjfdkneceljokdelhiikgnndpmcgh Chrome Web Store] and any new release will automatically be installed.
| |
| * Userscript users must update version [https://github.com/3meraldK/earthmc-dynmap/#userscript manually]
| |
| == Changes ==
| |
| * Town claims and descriptions are visually tweaked, making the view more clean.
| |
| * Town descriptions show town's size.
| |
| * When opening map, camera sets its view on Europe.
| |
| * Some bugs on default map are fixed. (for example bugs with player icons or town names)
| |
| * Player heads on player icons are displayed.
