Chimage

Using Chimage is straightforward. There are three ways to attach an image to your chat message:

1. Clipboard: Simply press CTRL + V while the chat bar is open. (With image or image file in clipboard)
2. Drag & Drop: Drag an image file from your computer directly into the Minecraft window while the chat is open.
3. URL Loading: Type !(your_url) in the chat, or simply type ! and press CTRL + V with an image link. Chimage will automatically fetch it directly from the web!

Once you've attached an image, a small preview window will appear above your chat bar. This lets you confirm the image before sending it.

• Clipboard Paste: Press CTRL + V while the chat is open to send images from your clipboard.
• Drag & Drop: Drag image files from your computer directly into the game window while the chat is open.
• URL Loading: Fetch images, GIFs, and gallery links (like Imgur and Tenor) instantly by pasting links or typing !(url).
• Real-Time Preview: See a preview window of your image to confirm before sending.
• In-Chat Rendering: View images sent by other players directly within the chat box.
• Fullscreen Viewer: Click any image in chat to view it in fullscreen with zoom support.
• Image Metadata: Hold SHIFT while hovering over an image to see its details.
• Quick Download: Use SHIFT + Left Click on an image to save it to your computer.
• Quick Copy: Use CTRL + Left Click on an image to copy it straight to your clipboard.
• Spoilers: Mark images as spoilers to keep them blurred in chat until hovered or clicked.
• Vanilla Compatibility: Vanilla clients can view images via clickable fallback links (if enabled by the server).
• Highly Configurable: Adjust maximum image sizes, rendering limits, behaviours, and more.
• Built-in Image Editor: Draw, erase, pick colors, crop, and resize images before sending them.
• Immersive Paintings Integration: Export your edited images directly into the world as custom paintings or graffiti!

Chimage features a robust built-in Image Editor, allowing you to quickly modify images right before sending them in chat.

Features include:

• Pen & Eraser: Draw or erase directly on the image with customizable brush sizes.
• Color Picker: A fully-featured RGB/HSL/HSV & Alpha color picker to select the exact color you need.
• Resize: Scale the image up or down, optionally locking the aspect ratio.
• Crop: Quickly crop out the important parts of the image.
• Undo / Redo: Made a mistake? Use Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y to undo or redo your actions.

If you have the Immersive Paintings mod installed alongside Chimage, a new export button will appear inside the Image Editor!

This feature allows you to take any image or any drawing you've made inside the editor and instantly convert it into a custom painting or graffiti item. You can then place it anywhere in your Minecraft world!

• /chimage - The main command for the mod. This command allows server admins to manage the Access List, controlling exactly who is allowed to send images in chat.

Vanilla Servers The mod is disabled on vanilla servers. In order to upload and share images, the server must also have the mod installed.

Vanilla Clients (Link-based fallback) If a player connects without the mod installed, they can still "see" the images via link-based fallbacks! The server converts uploaded images into clickable web links for vanilla clients to open in their browser. (Note: Server owners must configure this feature themselves).
