This JavaScript plugin is designed to integrate with an Overviewer map to layer in additional information. Most importantly, player location information. It uses a Web Socket to receive data, and has been developed in tandem with PlayerLocations, a server plugin to send this data over a Web Socket. It has been a tinker project and I have added other features, some specific to my implementation.
- Player Information
- Location, including dimension*
- Health
- Air
- Hunger
- Level
- Server Information
- Current world time
- Navigation
- Collapsible list of current players
- Selectable players with zoom to location
NOTE Dimensions are not as straight forward as Minecraft players might think. Overviewer does not exactly provide the dimension information in the tilesets it outputs. Instead, this has to rely on the worlds dictionary or title display name in the configuration to contain specific cues.
Also, the conversion values between dimensions is hard-coded (i.e. 8:1 overworld:nether).
Download the Overviewer-Info-Plugin.zip from the Releases and extract the files into the directory serving your Overviwer map.
In the index.html file insert the following in the <head> section.
<script type="text/javascript" src="overviewer-info-plugin.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">OverviewerInfoPlugin.start()</script>Alternatively, the extracted files and a modified index.html can be placed in an assets directory referenced in the configuration for Custom Web Assets.
IDK, create a fork, create a PR, maybe write some unit tests because I sure didn't. I'll probably forget that this repo exists until I finally look at my email after three years and see people arguing about exposing an RCON port over the web to JavaScript clients. SHEESH I can't believe people thought that would be a good idea.
Sure, log an issue in the Issues tracker. Maybe I'll get to it, but I'd recomend first reading the Contributing section.
