=== 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": colors all [[mega nation]]s individually.
** "alliances": colors all [[alliance]]s.
** "default": keeps default colors (alliances and mega nations are not visible).
** Data about all mega-nations and alliances is brought by [https://discord.gg/AVtgkcRgFs EMC Toolkit Development server] and Owen3H, who is also a developer of EMC Stats bot.
*** Inside the above Discord server users can request any change or register new alliance or mega-nation which will be visible with the extension: mega-nation's outline/fill color and its name.

=== Archive mode ===
* Allows to roll town claims and statistics back to the beginning of [[Terra Nova]].
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. Markers (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.
** User can locate a town given they loaded an archived snapshot.
=== Locating ===
* User can locate a player, a town or a nation in the search bar. Submitting will set the map's view on searched prompt.
=== Map layers ===
=== Map layers ===
* Real country borders fetched from an archived EarthMC's website.
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.
* Terra Aurora map featured a chunk layer, but it has been re-added to Terra Nostra map by EarthMC.
=== 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.
* An option allowing to decrease brightness of the 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 up basic information about clicked player.
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.
