Blue Map Plugin | Minecraft

Foreign let me get a little closer here getting used to all this new mechanics but hey how’s it going Diamond here and today I’m back here at the spawn of my re well not recording creating my own server series and don’t get me wrong I’m still

Working on it it’s very difficult as I not only have to build this with only one other guy but yeah I’m not here to talk about that today I’m here to talk about this really cool plug-in that I found and might actually knock the living socks out of you and that’s

Called Blue map and what it does it allows you to create a similar experience such as Dynamic map but with a nice little twist and with the features it has and everything it is truly amazing I’m 100 gonna suggest it for you guys today to try it out I even

Let my mouse go and I was pointing at the screen but you guys couldn’t see it that’s how good this plugin is quick disclaimer uh you will be seeing the map and it’s not fully done so um but yeah I don’t really have much other to say then let’s check this amazing

Plugin out shall we all right so as you can see here I’m just in the spawn there is a lot more buildings out and I’m not really going to show you what it is I can just show you some key features there’s the big tree here’s a statue or monument and

There are some houses around and as you can see I will try this afterwards but you can see there I have placeholder blocks which I actually use a resource pack so I’m gonna try and do this in the actual video so there’s no learning

Progress I want to see how it easy it is to do but I’m going to try to add a resource pack and I’m going to show you guys that more down the line once I show you how to actually set up this plugin so it’s pretty straightforward and I’m

Going to show you how to plug in looks before we get setting it up and yeah let’s take a look at that real quick all right so right now I’m a little zoomed in but once I start zooming out you can see this hey this looks just like

There’s a I forgot someone actually made this in the top right um but this looks looks exactly like Dynamic map why should I even switch well the key feature here is I rendered this huge map and I’m pretty certain it’s around I’d say 18 by 20 000 blocks

And this is of course this isn’t huge compared to what people might have for an SMP but I rendered all of this I’d say well under 8 minutes and that is super impressive while Dynamic map would take me roughly if I’m lucky under an hour well of course I’m not trying to

Put hate against Dynamic ramp I still think there are both amazing plugins but it’s just that blue map is more new and trying to improve upon what dynamic map has and one proven is of course rendering time so this is amazing you can actually zoom in and everything it

What I can see it’s doing as well is when you’re zoomed out you don’t see as much details because you don’t need to see the details but once you’re zoomed in it starts rendering in all those details all the small imperfections that Minecraft might have and it just does a

Really good job so I as you can see there the tree kind of changes after I zoom in so here I am zoomed in you can see the trees have really nice detail to it but as soon as I start zooming out it becomes more of a complete mess you

Can sometimes see the transition like right there how they change but overall let me show you some more features you can teleport to players just by coming over here and clicking on the players tab you can disable all these are course configurable but you can also check the

Markers list and you can even check the map list so there are other Maps I completely paused them because I’m not going to be showing them as of at the moment however we can go ahead and check out these three cool buttons of course day night cycle if you want to check it

Out so I actually like this I might be using it to test out where I need lights in the future but for now we’ll keep it daytime to make it easy to see let’s go ahead and click this perspective and what that does is an amazing feature it

Will look janky at the start because what it’s trying to do here is something done completely in a web browser so I’m going to zoom in and as you can see you can start seeing a lot more detail you can you see a lot of more depth to the

Actual map so I’m going to zoom in more and you can see yeah you can pretty much C blocks through the way they are even I didn’t even notice this actually you can actually click a block and those locations you can use wasd here and just it’s working flawlessly however you

Will notice that in the background they look more like blobs and that is a huge blob and the reason for this is so it doesn’t put a lot of processing power on the actual server for what it’s capable of doing and what you’re actually going

To be doing when it comes to this it works perfectly because you’re not going to be seeing the entire map if you want to see the entire map go into the server and see the entire map but for some players they might just want to check out this friends really cool baseball

Having to go there and all they need to do is zoom in and rotate their camera I’m using a right-click feature to rotate as you can see here and then I can use my left click to sort of move the camera around or just wasd but then

There is one extra feature which is Free Flight and that puts you more of a perspective of a player so it’s sorted you will pretty much understand it pretty easy once you start getting the graphs of it but overall it just feels like well you’re in vanilla Minecraft in

A way of other than the blobs of course maybe modded Minecraft but you can use shift to go down you can use space to go up and overall it’s just a really good experience and I think I just noticed that as well as you use similar features

In spectator if you start using your scroll wheel up you can get some pretty narrowly speeds at that but if you slow it down you can go to a point where you’re just halting completely again I can just teleport back to my player anytime I want to so he is some

Somewhere around here I don’t want full screen thank you very much where is he oh there and there he is right there but let’s go ahead and check out the other Maps so what I’ll do is I’ll go ahead and click on I actually really like how

The tree looks in here I’m going to go ahead and click on the flat plane right here and that’s going to put us back into 2D mode and I can also use wasd here and I can go ahead and check out the rest of the map just like this so

This was one of I believe one of these were the final zones but I’m going to check out this one I really like this Zone how it came out so I can go ahead and zoom in here and you can still see that they’re trying their best to do

Depth but what I’m going to do is click on the 3D perspective and I’m gonna go again I’m actually gonna go and just play a perspective and just like that I can see the map pretty nice let’s go into the tutorial I’m going to explain a

Few things there and then I want to come back and see if I can make the resource pack work with this and that looks really weird again if you really want to see the map in this way join the server but 100 understand what the developer is

Doing here to keep your resources really light overall I’m still very impressed on what he’s actually doing alright so once you’re in your plugins folder and you’ve actually added the plugin you don’t require any dependencies and we’re going to be using revive node for this

So if you guys want to check them out in the description down below you can use my promo code diamond in all caps and get 15 off your very first server you can use this to start your very own server or just start an SMP and put this amazing plugin it’s completely free

However let’s get straight into this tutorial so we can go ahead into blue map and here you’ll see some variation of files so we can start off with the actual core.config and the reason we’re starting with that is when you first load a plugin it’s going to generate all

The files and then secondly it’s going to ask you to basically accept a Eula and once you’ve accepted that you can actually start using the plugin that will allow you to generate and render everything that you need so once you accept that you can also change and

Modify some things so this is the folder where all the data is going to be saved and that’s going to be blue map and that’s going to be in the root of your files so in this case it’ll be in container and you can even set the

Amount of threads that blue map can use so if I wanted to I could increase this as my server does have a lot more threads so run on but once you have that you can go ahead back into web server.config and this is where it really matters and how to do this is

Pretty simple go into networks I’m gonna go ahead and open that in a separate panel and here we just create an allocation and all we need to do is copy the secondary port and just replace the port default here and here I don’t actually think this was necessary I

Think I’m just being stupid as it’s just showing an example but however I switch them both it’s probably just being stupid I don’t doubt that but this is all you need to do is just switch the port click save and then just do blue map reload and then you can load up your

Blue map and all you need to do to load it up is go and copy the primary IP so it would be this and and then need to put in your port in this case it’ll be 8140 and then copy that and paste it in your browser and that’s all you need to

Do it’s going to load up everything and ensure that it’s running fine what you’ll end up seeing is basically well your map now as I stated I want to try out and uploading my own resource pack and see if it works just out of the box

It’s stated that we need to upload it to the resource pack directory found in your plugins blue map and resource pack however I don’t see one I’m going to go ahead and try creating one so I’m going to call it resource pack as stated in

The Wiki page and then we just need to upload the zip right into here just like that I uploaded it I’m going to save it and then I’m going to show some commands that we can do which it stated I will have to purge the current world in order

To make it work properly so I’m going to hop back in game and I’m gonna see if everything works as stated alright so we’re back in game and as you can see here I have loaded up the resource packs so I’m giving an idea of what we’re

Basically gonna well be seeing so in this certain resource pack the the slabs should look more well like Pathways and that we should be seeing all that crying obsidian look more like a infected goo I don’t really know it’s it’s blocky but I’m just giving off an example of what

We should technically be seeing and another block which should be over here is the glass I can’t confirm if it’s gonna work or not but it technically should be animated I don’t know so much about animated blocks but in this case it is animated so if it isn’t I’m not

Gonna be disappointed but if it is it’s not gonna be a perk so to get started we are going to need to run some commands for that we can do blue map and then we need to completely Purge this world and in this case it’s going to be called

Future and I’m going to go ahead and Purge the entire map we can even do some other things such as we can stop other worlds from rendering so I have an older map that I don’t really need in this case I already stopped it but it should

Appear here but you could type it out as regardless so old future would be one of the maps I can even start it back up if I’d like to and in that case again it’ll be old future and I can start it back up we can even freeze the world completely

If you want to and and here you can see I can freeze any of these worlds so make sure nothing is being updated or I can even Force an update so if I place a block I can force an update around that area so I can see it more recently you

Can also change that in the configuration but it’s really up to you how you do it now that I’ve done that I did a purge and I’m going to go back onto the website and see if it worked wow that is that makes me spinny woo

Alright so now that I did some extra tasks in order to get it to run properly what I did was delete the blue map in the container folder and then delete the maps folder and I made sure that well it stated in the wiki that you needed to

Have it as the same version as the Minecraft version you’re running so I made sure it was compatible with 1.19.2 which it was and as soon as I started zooming in you can see here are the custom blocks I’ve added or retextured and here are the sidewalks which are

Working great however I still really want to check out if the glass is animated I do not believe I have any regions that are yet loaded but I think they are loading in pretty quickly I really do love this whole animation just it loads the same way as

Minecraft sadly it’s not animated I don’t really blame them for that one because that would be more resource heavy but I overall I mean it didn’t really mess up the textures while it’s technically supposed to be an animated one so I’m still impressed I cannot complain about this whatsoever it looks

Great it does its job just fine so yeah but there you go and there you have it that was blue map I’ve been wanting to do a video this for a while and I’m happy I did I’m astonished this plug-in and it’s super easy to set up so I

Highly suggest you guys give it a try all the links you’re going to need are in description down below so make sure to check them out and make sure to check out revive node other than that I’m Diamond I hope you have an amazing day and I will catch you guys next time

Cheers
