The World Map
On Avatarverse, we have a vast world representing that of Avatar: the Last Airbender, with locations spread out across long distances. Therefore, it can be difficult to find your way around.
The interactive Map: Dynmap
Dynmap is a plugin that generates a dynamic web map of Minecraft worlds. Avatarverse's dynmap is the easiest way to navigate the world and can be found by clicking on the map icon below.
The map is fairly intuitive to use, but this guide will go over the less obvious tools.
Pop-ups
When you hover on a feature on the map, it may give you a pop-up with the name of that feature.
This is useful for retrieving:
- Name of a Nation
- Name of a Province
- Name of a Settlment
- Name of a Resource Node
- Several other useful information
Layers
If you wish to toggle the display of certain features such as provinces or routes. You can find the layers button as shown below on the top left and click on it toggle the visiblity of any of these layers.
Views
On the right sidebar, you can expand a window to see different map types. For AvatarRPG (the world map), you can select either the flat or surface map views.
- Flat is the default bird's-eye view.
- Surface is an oblique 3D view of the world.
Viewing yourself on the map
Avatarverse has all players' locations hidden by default in order to prevent metagaming (using a player's location on the map in order to attack their character in roleplay for example). However you can view where you, the player, are on the map by logging in. You can find the login button at the bottom right of Dynmap
To register, follow the instructions by typing /dynmap webregister while in-game to receive your registration code. Then type out your UserID (minecraft username) and chosen password.
To login, type in your UserID and Password. The page will redirect you to the map, look around until you find your player head.
