About Legacy Image Maps

From Modrinth

An image2map-style image conversion mod for Minecraft 1.12.2

This mod allows you to import images from a URL and print them out onto a map into your world. It essentially serves as a backport of image2map to 1.12.2, although some of its mechanics are different (see below). Replace this with a description Replace this with a description Although 1.12.2 is usually played for modding nowawadays, this mod still works entirely serverside. Clients do not need the mod installed to use it on your server.

USAGE

You can simply give yourself a single map of the image using:

/imagemap <url>

You can also change the scale of the map using:

/imagemap <url> scale <scale>

OR:

/imagemap <url> scale <scale> <width> <height>

You can apply dithering to images:

/imagemap <url> dither

When processing multiple images, apply the start= or end= flags to only give yourself maps corresponding to segments of the image:

/imagemap <url> scale <scale> start=<start> end=<end>

There are a few other options available to use, you can alter the threshold at which pixels will be rendered as transparent on the map:

/imagemap <url> scale <scale> <transparency>

OR:


/imagemap <url> <width> <height> <transparency>

To remove transparency:

/imagemap <url> removealpha

To figure out how many maps will be output as a result of running a command:

/imagemap <url> test

To stretch an image out to fit the entire width and height:

/imagemap <url> letterbox

You can also clear held maps using:

/imagemap unfill

and clear cached data (including color maps and map color bytes):

/imagemap clear

Most of this is configurable, some options include whether non-ops can use the command or not, and whether maps should require empty maps in your inventory in survival when running the command. You can also customize the command to use up any custom item and damage value, which can be helpful in modpacks.
