Upload your own custom paintings to minecraft server!
5

YourCustomPaintings is a Sponge plugin for uploading your own custom paintings to server. Paintings are implemented through minecraft maps+item frames. You can upload paintings spanning across multiple maps/frames, with convenient tool for automatic placing of them. Image will be either scaled automatically, or placed on center, with or without dithering. Various options of scaling and dithering modes are available. Once you uploaded a painting, it will be always available to you from the list. Players in survival will be required to have needed items, like item frames and empty maps (Can be turned off with permissions). Permissions and Permission Options are supported, and simple config file too.

Dither
Maps have limited palette in Minecraft, so it can’t recreate all the colors, especially in gradients. To mitigate this, you can use dither. Disther adds noise to simulate colors in between palette values. There are two types of dither: unordered and ordered. Supported unordered dither: FloydSteinberg, JarvisJudiceNinke, Stucki, Atkinson, Burkes, Sierra3, TwoRowSierra, SierraLite. Supported ordered dither: OrderedBayer2x2, OrderedBayer4x4, OrderedBayer8x8, OrderedBayer16x16. Please note that OrderedBayer algorithm used here is not intended for images with indexed palette, so it won’t work as effectively.

Ordered dither (OrderedBayer16x16):

Unordered dither (FloydSteinberg):

ColorBleedReductionPercent parameter is intended for reduction of “color bleed” (unordered dither sometimes causes color to “bleed” below and left) and lead to increasing areas of solid color. Only for unordered dither.

Color bleed reduction at 75% (Atkinson):

Sometimes dither isn’t needed and image would look better without it, primarily where only bright primary colors were used, or when image have lots of gray colors.

Painting placer
When user executes command /uploadpainting or command /getpainting user will receive: filled map, if painting is 1x1 size, just place it in item frame; or painting placer for bigger paintings. Painting placer is just a stick; click with it any wall with sufficient empty space to place a painting. Painting will automatically fit to any available space, but if you need to place it more precisely, just know that click point will become upper left corner of a painting, if space allows.

Users who don’t have this permission will need to have Empty Map to get 1x1 painting, Stick to get Painting Placer, Empty Maps and Item Frames in quantity of MapsX*MapsY each for placing a painting with painting placer.

Permission Options
List of available permission options and description of what they do:
yourcustompaintings.commands.uploadpainting.max.maps.x - max allowed width of a painting for player in blocks/maps
yourcustompaintings.commands.uploadpainting.max.maps.y - max allowed height of a painting for player in blocks/maps
yourcustompaintings.commands.uploadpainting.max.imgfilesize - max allowed size of image to upload for player in bytes
yourcustompaintings.commands.uploadpainting.max.imgwidth - max allowed width of image to upload for player in pixels
yourcustompaintings.commands.uploadpainting.max.imgheight - max allowed height of image to upload for player in pixels

Config
debug-mode - Debug mode. Will write some trash info in plugin’s config folder, so not recommended. false by default.
max-img-file-size - Maximal size of image file to upload in bytes. 1048576 by default.
progress-report-time - Report progress of operation where possible every X milliseconds (currently only upload progress). 30000 by default.

Limitations
Uploading image with too big dimensions, or too big in-game size in blocks will cause OutOfMemoryError, so make sure to adjust limits according to your server capacity. Minecraft support only ~32000 maps, so be sure to not upload too much, and only give permission to players who have a sense of limit. If you upload too much, regular maps and uploaded paintings will start overwriting each other, which is not pretty. There’s no guarantee that future versions of Minecraft/Sponge will like those paintings-maps, so I take no responsibility for anything.
