ImageMaps is a plugin for Bukkit Minecraft servers that enables you to place custom images in your world by rendering them onto maps and placing them in item frames.
This can be used to create info graphics, custom paintings and even the appearance of custom textures.
You will need a Server that implements Bukkit 1.13 or newer and the Spigot-API. Some features are only available in newer releases. Make sure to use the latest release of your server software before reporting issues.
Put the plugin into your servers plugins
folder and start it up. A folder for the plugin will be created
automatically. You can place your images in the images
folder inside it.
The plugin should convert your maps.yml automatically. It will attempt to create a backup before doing so, but it is recommended to do one manually as well.
In order for you use place images they must be present in the images
folder. You can either put them
there via FTP or just copying it, or by using the plugin's download command, allowing you to access
images from the Internet.
To place images just run the /imagemap place
command and right click the block that should be the
upper left corner of the image (based on your perspective).
Images will by default split into 128x128 pixel sub-images to fit on a map. The image may be scaled via command parameters, however it is recommended to prepare correctly scaled images.
The color palette of Minecraft maps is very limited, requiring the plugin/Bukkit to convert the input image. This will result in your images looking different ingame than the source. The available color table can be found here: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Map_item_format#Color_table
The invisible and fixed (-> can't be modified) item frame properties are only available in 1.16+. You can modify them for any item frame by using a configurable (default a wooden hoe) items. Right click to toggle visibility and Shift+Right click to toggle the fixed state.
