Web Map & Rendering

PlotPlugin-premium includes a built-in web server (based on NanoHTTPD) that exposes a browsable, always up-to-date map of the plot world.

Web server configuration

In the base plugin’s config.yml:

webserver:
  enabled: true
  host: 0.0.0.0
  port: 8080

Key	Description
enabled	Enables/disables the web server
host	Address the server listens on (0.0.0.0 = all interfaces)
port	TCP port of the web server

Caution

If you expose the web server’s port publicly, make sure it’s reachable only through a properly configured reverse proxy or firewall, to avoid unwanted access.

Map rendering

The map is generated through a rendering process: the plugin scans the world block by block (per chunk) and produces the images that power the web map.

Manual rendering

/plot render <startX> <startZ> <endX> <endZ>
/plot render stop

Starts rendering a specific area of the world (start and end coordinates), or stops a render already in progress. Required permission: scalaplot.render.

Automatic rendering

In the render section of config.yml:

render:
  auto_start: false
  interval_minutes: 30

• auto_start: if true, automatically starts a render cycle when the server starts.
• interval_minutes: interval, in minutes, between one automatic render and the next.

Tip

Rendering can be resource-intensive on very large worlds. If you notice TPS drops during automatic rendering, consider increasing interval_minutes or running renders manually during hours with fewer players online.
