Good mini map mod for server out there?

I have tried looking for a few different map mods but I don't see any pictures in any of the ones I have seen so I don't know if it is what I am looking for. What I want is a little mini map in like a corner to show location and maybe direction they are facing. maybe it could have a compass on it so I know where I am looking. I play with about 2 friends and we usually go exploring together but we get lost sometimes and it is hell to fine eachother again sometimes lol so this would really help.

 

dynmap is a server plugin that will show a live map of the world on a webpage. Makes it almost too easy to find your way around. Rei's minimap is a client mod that puts a minimap & compass on your screen. With those two apps, you should never get lost again.

 

Thank you for the reply Greylocke. I heard of dynmap but I don't want to have to leave my game or tab out, that is why I only wanted a minimap. I tried searching for Rei's minimap on here but I didn't find it. Is this not available for Bukkit?

 

Rei's minimap is a client mod, not a Bukkit one.

Rei's is not a bukkit plugin. It is a client-side mod. Installs quite easily with MCPatcher. From your avatar, it looks like you've got some military experience. Your orienteering training and a compass should be all you need, right?

 

Thank you Yuushi. The couple of friends I play Minecraft with on my server live far away, and do not know how to do anything but double click on Minecraft.exe and play the game, which is why I was looking for a Bukkit plugin so I can handle all the technical work for them.

And Greylocke, lol yes. I NEVER get lost (wink), it is them that wonder aimlessly and want me to come find them

 

Also there is the minimap that is included with CJB Mods.

 

Is CJB on a bukkit mod? I looked but didn't find it

 

The Minimaps plugin seems to be what you're looking for, but it has not yet been updated. It is a Spout plugin that provides a clientside minimap if the player is running Spoutcraft.

You might also try ComPassionate, a plugin that adds to your compass the ability to find a player

.. and CJB is a client mod

 

Everytime I type in CJB it says:

"No results found
Please try a different query."
I will defiantly try out that minimap when it is updated. Thank you very much for that Greylocke!

 

None of those mods will be found on the bukkit forums...they can me found at the Minecraft forums:
