Pl3xMap Plugin FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I start using Pl3xMap after installing it?
Start your server once with the plugin installed, which generates a config file and default web folder. Then configure the basic settings in the config file (like map name and render type), restart the server, and access your map through the web interface URL shown in the console.
Where do I find my map in a web browser?
By default, Pl3xMap serves the map locally at `http://localhost:8080` (or your configured port). If accessing from another machine, replace `localhost` with your server's IP address.
What's the difference between the render types?
Basic renders standard terrain colors; Night shows how the world looks at night; Biomes colors blocks by biome type; Inhabited highlights areas with player activity; Flowermap displays decorative flowers and plants. You can enable multiple render types and switch between them in the web interface.
Why is my map taking forever to render?
Large worlds naturally take longer; check your render settings in the config to reduce render distance or chunk load radius. You can also render specific regions instead of the entire world, and consider rendering during off-peak server hours to avoid impacting player performance.
Can I show player health and armor on the map?
Yes, player markers display health, armor, and yaw rotation by default. Make sure player markers are enabled in your config and that players have the appropriate permissions to be visible on the map.
Does Pl3xMap work with my favorite plugin?
Pl3xMap has built-in integrations for many popular plugins. Check the official documentation or addon repository to see if your plugin is supported, or create a custom addon using the Pl3xMap API if needed.
How do I hide certain players from appearing on the map?
Use permission nodes in your permissions plugin to control visibility—players without the appropriate permission won't appear as markers on the map. Check your config for the specific permission node names.
Can I customize the map colors and appearance?
You can switch between different render types and configure basic settings in the config file. For deeper customization, create a custom addon using the Pl3xMap API to define your own rendering logic and colors.
Is Pl3xMap compatible with my server software?
Pl3xMap is a plugin designed for Paper and Paper-compatible servers. It is not compatible with Fabric, Forge, or other modloaders—check that you're running a compatible server type before installing.
How do I update the map when the world changes?
Pl3xMap automatically re-renders chunks as players modify the world in real-time. You can also manually trigger a full re-render through the config or console commands if needed.
