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:
- Go into the <Server>/plugins/PixelPrinter/custom_textures/ directory.
- In a new window, open the resourcepack zip file and navigate to the Minecraft>textures>blocks folder.
- In there, drag all textures into the custom_textures directory.
