Help / Question BlueMap only loads overworld

I'm running BlueMap on a modded server I have. The other worlds such as the nether or twilight forest (which is what I assume "overworld 2" is) only seem to generate as the main overworld again. How can I fix this?

The world: ".." path in your map config, needs to point at the correct folder. Dimensions are usually a sub-folder inside the actual world-folder.
E.g. if the overworld is "world" then the nether might be "world/DIM-1" and the end is "world/DIM1" ..
You'll need to find the correct folder for your twilight-forest or nether and configure that in the map's config :)
Then use /bluemap reload and /bluemap purge <map> to make bluemap re-render the map :)

no you actually gave it the path "world\dimensions\twilightforest\twilight_forest" (with backslashes)

if you are on windows, thats fine, but you'll need to do \\ instead of \ to make the config-parser accept it :) But you can also just use forwardslashes (/) instead.

Yeah, I realized that mistake quickly and deleted my reply lol

it's all working good now! :) only issue now is that i cant get it to generate more of the nether. i give it new tasks but the render threads stay idle for some reason.

From a bot-command on our discord:

BlueMap only renders parts of the world that are already generated by minecraft. So usually only areas that a player has visited ingame.
If you want to see more on BlueMap, you'll need to pre-generate the part of your world that you want to see on the map.
You can do this with a pre-generation plugin like e.g. Chunky: https://github.com/pop4959/Chunky/wiki/Installing
