Custom resourcepack support:
As of the 1.0.14 patch, Pixelprinter allows for server-wide resourcepack support. Using this feature will allow for better quality and accuracy of images when using custom resourcepacks. To add custom resourcepack support, do the following:

  1. Go into the &lt;Server&gt;/plugins/PixelPrinter/custom_textures/ directory.
  2. In a new window, open the resourcepack zip file and navigate to the Minecraft&gt;textures&gt;blocks folder.
  3. In there, drag all textures into the custom_textures directory.
And that's it. Pixelprinter will handle the rest.

Commands
(You can either access all PixelPrinter commands using /pixelprinter or /pp)

/pp
lists all commands and their usages
  • /pp d &lt;filename&gt; &lt;url&gt; Downloads the location of an image to a txt file. Good for minimizing memory.
  • /pp di &lt;filename&gt; &lt;url&gt; Downloads the image to a png, jpg, or gif file.
  • /pp create &lt;direction&gt; &lt;File name&gt; &lt;Height&gt; Creates a in-game block version of the image, moving the the direction &lt;direction&gt; and will have a height of &lt;Height&gt;. The width will be scaled to the image height.
  • /pp cf &lt;direction&gt; &lt;File name&gt; &lt;Height&gt; Creates a in-game item-frame version of the image, moving the the direction &lt;direction&gt; and will have a height of &lt;Height&gt;. The width will be scaled to the image height.
  • /pp createskin &lt;direction&gt; &lt;player's name or UUID&gt; Create a 16x48x16 player character with the specified players skin. Note: In order to use the player's name, the player must have joined the server once.
