Ever wondered how those cool little markers pop up on the Dynmap? Whether you're claiming a base, spotlighting a build, or just leaving your mark, this guide shows you how to create Dynmap marker signs that show up right on the live map.

🪧 How It Works

Dynmap can automatically convert specially formatted signs into visible markers on the map. These are visible to anyone using the Dynmap website, and they're a great way to help others find builds, landmarks, or points of interest.

✍️ How to Create a Marker Sign

To place a Dynmap marker, you’ll need to format a sign like this:

[dynmap]
Label of your marker
icon: <marker_name>

Line-by-line breakdown:

• Line 1: [dynmap] — Must be exact (including brackets). This tells Dynmap it's a marker sign.
• Line 2: The label or name of your marker (e.g., “Dilly’s Lair” or “My Base”)
• Line 4 (Optional): This line is option and allows you to update the icon use on the map. Replace <marker_name> with the name of the icon you wish to use

📍 Tips and Best Practices

• Be concise with your marker names, they appear as text on the map.
• You can conceal the sign in walls or the basement of you base if you don't want it on display.
• You can remove a marker simply by breaking the sign.
• Keep it respectful, no offensive names or spammy signs.
