'''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 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 ~~alliances~~. 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 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.

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]].

=== Archive mode ===

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.

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.
