JourneyMap Tracker
by Orangy
JourneyMap Tracker reads a DynMap URL and updates JourneyMap waypoints so that the positions of tracked players appear on the map.
What it does
Tracked players are shown as JourneyMap waypoints that refresh at a set polling interval. The source is a DynMap tiles/players.json file, which the mod reads through a URL that the player sets in the config. The polling delay is configurable, though it does not seem to go below one second.
The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it, and it has to be installed alongside Cloth Config API and JourneyMap. Files are published for Fabric, covering 1.21.4 and 1.21.10, with 1.1.1 for 1.21.10 as the latest file. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
DynMap player waypoints

Players can be tracked and untracked with commands, and the config also offers a way to track them.

Use cases
Following players on a DynMap server
Players who want to see where others are on a DynMap server can keep those positions on their JourneyMap screen.
Who it’s for: Players on a server that runs DynMap and who use JourneyMap on the client side. The server must expose a players.json file at a known URL, so the mod does not work with web map software that serves no such file.

JourneyMap Tracker is a mod that creates and updates JourneyMap waypoints of tracked players given a DynMap URL. Not all web map software will work, but so far I haven't found one that doesn't work.
