EarthMC Dynmap+ (formerly earthmc-dynmapcolor) is an open-sourced browser extension created by 3meraldK in February 2022 which adds multitude of features and modifies EarthMC's map website. The extension is available in two versions: regular extension only for Chromium browsers (Chromium browsers are Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera etc.), and Tampermonkey userscript (for other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox or Safari). EarthMC Dynmap+ is inspirated from FranchuFranchu's emc-dynmap-colors extension. First versions only colored mega-nations, but as new versions were being released, content was being added progressively.

Here is guide how to download it.
