Notifications Web Push

Notifications, Web Push, and Update Notices

Browser notifications

Users can configure normal web notification behavior in the chat UI when supported by their browser and allowed by server settings.

Web Push

Web Push requires a secure browser context in normal public use. Review the web-push block and configure VAPID-related settings if you want background push notifications.

On iOS/iPadOS, use the standalone page added to the Home Screen and opened as a web app; push behavior in a normal browser tab is more limited.

Update checker

The public config intentionally exposes only one compact switch:

update-check:
  enabled: true

BlueMapWebChat checks Modrinth for a newer stable release using built-in defaults for interval, release channel, administrator join delay, and download links.

Operators with this permission receive join notices when an update is available:

bluemapwebchat.update.notify

Default: OP.

An update-check network failure does not prevent the Minecraft server or BlueMapWebChat from starting.
