MapImage Plugin

MapImage is a Minecraft plugin that lets server operators turn any online image URL into an in-game map item using the /mapimage command. Maps are persisted and re-rendered after server restarts using a lightweight YAML config, so they require no large image file storage on the server.

Features

• Convert any image URL to a Minecraft map.
• Automatically maps image colors to the closest vanilla map palette.
• Stores URL ↔ map ID pairs in config.yml to persist across restarts.
• Restricts usage to server operators or players with permission.

Usage

Command

/mapimage <image-url> [size]

• Converts a 64×64 image from the given URL into a map.
• If argument size (HxW) you can get a matrix of maps (2x3 would give you 2 high, 3 wide image, 6 maps) and given in order from top left to bottom right
• The player receives the filled map in their inventory.

🌐 Make sure the image is accessible from the server (internet access required on every start and restart) and returns a valid image format (e.g., PNG or JPEG).
