Map4Image

Map4Image is a NeoForge mod that allows you to convert images through links into minecraft map art. This mod was heavily inspired by Image2Map and serves as a NeoForge alternative to Image2Map. _Currently the mod is in very early development and does not have the same level of features or polish Image2Map does._ This mod is only required on server side and vanilla client players can use it.

Map4Image has the following features:

• Ability to generate minecraft map art in game
• Place/break large map art automatically onto item frames
• When generating map art it is possible to specify source, dither type, and width/height.

How to use

Create Command

/map4image create <link> <dithertype> <width> <height>

The link must be a direct image link (as in a link ending with a image extension such as .png), keep in mind this link has to be surrounded with quotation marks aswell. For the dither type I would reccomend using floydsteinberg as it tends to have the most consistent results for quality, however if an image does not look good at first I would reccomend experimenting. Width and height are both in pixels, a minecraft map is only able to hold 128×128 pixels so going above these values will generate a “super map”.

Super Map

A super map is map art generated by setting either width or height above 128 pixels. A super map will only display a 128×128 verison of the image generated but when placed in item frames it will place down all maps. To have a valid item frame setup you must place the “super map” in the top left of a grid of item frames with a tall enough height and wide enough width. Keep in mind that 128 pixels in either direction is one full map, so a 300×500 image would require 3 item frames by 4 item frames.

⚠️ Note for server admins ⚠️

Currently this mod has no way of rate limiting itself, while it does use a seperate thread for rendering it is still very easy to lag the server itself. At the current moment in time I would reccomend only using this mod with people you trust. I plan to add safer server support in the future.
