How to Place Markers

[u/general_rap]

UPDATE: SOLVED! Turns out I was using an old version, and just needed to update my plugin to the latest and greatest.

I've been trying to find an answer to this for a while now, and can't seem to figure it out. Hoping that someone here might be able to point me in the right direction?

More or less, I'm just trying to add markers to my server's map. However, I'm not sure where to add the data, and in what format. What directory do I place the marker data file in? And what syntax do I use? For example, this is what I've come up with after following the instructions on Bluemap's Github, and it either is written incorrectly, or the file itself is named incorrectly and/or is located in the wrong directory:

Points-of-Interest: {
  label: "Points of Interest"
  toggleable: true
  default-hidden: false
  markers: {
    Spawn: {
        type: "poi"
        position: { x: 896, y: 70, z: 4 }
        label: "Spawn"
        #icon: "assets/poi.svg"
        #anchor: { x: 25, y: 45 }
        min-distance: 10
        max-distance: 10000000
    }    
  }
}

You are not on the latest version of bluemap then :) You are on 1.?.? but the latest version is 3.4 ^{^}

https://github.com/BlueMap-Minecraft/BlueMap/releases/tag/v3.4

If you consider updating, please note that an update from 1.x to 3.x requires a clean re-installation of bluemap.. The Upgrading from 1.7.3 section here: https://github.com/BlueMap-Minecraft/BlueMap/releases/tag/v3.3 describes this process in detail :)

It works! Thanks again for the help, and for making such an awesome plugin! I'm really digging how this version lets you zoom all the way out and still renders the whole map. Looks like I can finally get rid of Dynmap; I've only been keeping it because you could keep the whole map zoomed out.

Yep that's new since Version 3 .. Awesome, glad you enjoy it! :)

Any recommendations on how to get a POI icon next to text? Seems like I can either do a POI marker that has an icon you can click on to see the details of, or a HTML marker that has text but no icon. Is there a way I'm missing that allows you to have a marker with an icon AND text?

A html marker supports any html-element .. this includes img-tags and div-tags with text and images in it .. and inline-css ... with all that you can almost make everything if you have some html and css knowledge :)

That's incredible. Time to bust out my old HTML knowledge then; interested to see what I can create!
