I've restarted my computer, redownloaded the file, tried jarfix, and still the file won't open with java :/ is there anyway to fix this?

A .jar file is basicaly an archive, you can open it with your favorite archive opener.

Also, this executable JAR file is not intended to be executed directly by Java. This is a Bukkit plugin, to be loaded by a Bukkit-compatible Minecraft server (like Spigot). Executing the JAR with java -jar ImageOnMap.jar won't work, like any other Bukkit plugin.

You don't need to unzip the ImageOnMap JAR file, ever. First, get a working Bukki-compatible server (you can use Spigot: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-installation/ (https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/spigot-installation/) , or Paper, simpler to get: https://papermc.io/downloads (https://papermc.io/downloads) ). Then, run the server once. You'll get a lot of folders in the server's folder, including a “plugins” folder. Pur the JAR file (as-is) in this folder, and voilà!

oh, so i can't use this plugin in a realm or singleplayer world?

No you need spigot/paper server to run a plugin.

Realm/single does not support plugins, and we cannot do anything about this sadly.
