️ DynmapMinimap Plugin v1.7
Description
DynmapMinimap is a lightweight plugin that generates in-game Minecraft map items showing a real-time
top-down minimap of the surrounding terrain using
Dynmap tile images.
It allows players to run a command and receive a custom-rendered map item centered on their location, using actual Dynmap data. This gives a real minimap feel
without requiring any mods!
