ImageOnMap
Have you ever wanted to view an image on a map ingame? ImageOnMap allows you to do it! (Inspired by ImgMap)
Features
ImageOnMap allows you to load a picture from the Internet to a Minecraft map.
- Loads an image from a URL onto a map. PNG, JPEG and GIF are supported.
- These images will be saved on your server and reloaded at restart.
- Big pictures will be cut automatically into several parts! As example, a 1024x1024 picture will be cut in 16 maps.
- Your image will be centered.
- You can put your map in an item frame.
This plugin is a free software lisensed under the GNU General Public License (version 3 or above). The source code is published on GitHub.
The latest version is only compatible with Minecraft 1.15+.
- For Minecraft 1.13 and 1.14, use 4.0-pre1.
- For older versions, please use ImageOnMap 3.1 (warning: unchecked by the BukkitDev staff—if you're unsure, use 3.0 here in BukkitDev, it's the same but without permissions).
Support and bug requests
If you need help with ImageOnMap, the preferred way is our Discord server. We speak English and French. You should read the FAQ first!
If you want to report a bug or suggest features, by far the best option for us is GitHub issues, which you should use whenever possible. If you absolutely can't use GitHub, use the support options above.
We're a team behind ImageOnMap (and others), and private messages from Spigot can only be read by one person. So you should not send help requests, suggestions or bug reports using Spigot or BukkitDev PMs. Any PM received after June 28, 2020 with any of these topics will be ignored.
Quick guide
- Ensure that you have a free slot in your inventory, as ImageOnMap will give you a map.
- Type /tomap URL, where URL is a link to the picture you want to render (see the section below).
- Enjoy your picture! You can place it in an item frame to make a nice poster if you want.

Commands and Permissions
/tomap <url>
Renders an image and gives a map to the player with it.
- This command can only be used by a player.
- The link must be complete, do not forget that the chat limit is 240 characters.
- You can use an URL shortener like tinyURL or bitly.
- If you want a picture in one map, type resize after the link.
- If you want to resize to multiple maps, add the witth and height after resize: e.g. /tomap url resize 2 4
- You can change the scaling method by replacing the resize keyword in the /tomap command by:
- resize-stretched to stretch the image to the surface (the image could be distorted); or
- resize-covered to ensure the image covers the whole surface (the image will never be distorted, but some parts may be lost near the borders).
- Permission: imageonmap.new (or imageonmap.userender—legacy, but will be kept in the plugin).
/maps
Opens a GUI to see, retrieve and manage the user's maps.
- This command can only be used by a player.
- Opens a GUI listing all the maps in a paginated view.
- A book is displayed too to see some usage statistics (maps created, quotas).
- A user can retrieve a map by left-clicking it, or manage it by right-clicking.
- Maps can be renamed (for organization), deleted (but they won't render in-game anymore!), or partially retrieved (for posters maps containing more than one map).
- Permission: imageonmap.list, plus imageonmap.get, imageonmap.rename and imageonmap.delete for actions into the GUI.
/maptool <new|list|get|delete|explore|migrate>
Main command to manage the maps. The less used in everyday usage, too.
- The commands names are pretty obvious.
- /maptool new is an alias of /tomap.
- /maptool explore is an alias of /maps.
- /maptool migrate migrates the old maps when you upgrade from IoM <= 2.7 to IoM 3.0. You HAVE TO execute this command to retrieve all maps when you do such a migration.
- Permissions:
- imageonmap.new for /maptool new;
- imageonmap.list for both /maptool list and /maptool explore;
- imageonmap.get for /maptool get;
- imageonmap.delete for /maptool delete;
- imageonmap.administrative for /maptool migrate.
About the permissions
All permissions are by default granted to everyone, with the exception of imageonmap.administrative. We believe that in most cases, servers administrators want to give the availability to create images on maps to every player.
Negate a permission using a plugin manager to remove it, if you want to restrict this possibility to a set of users.
You can grant imageonmap.* to users, as this permission is a shortcut for all user permissions (excluding imageonmap.administrative).

Changelog
3.0
The 3.0 release is a complete rewrite of the original ImageOnMap plugin, now based on zLib, which adds many features and fixes many bugs.
This new version is not compatible with the older ones, so your older maps will not be loaded. Run the/maptool migrate command (as op or in the console) in order to get them back in this new version.
You will find amongst the new features:
- New Splatter maps, making it easy to deploy and remove big posters in one click!
- No more item tags when maps are put in item frames!
- Internationalization support (only french and English are supported, for now; contributions are welcome)
- Map Quotas (for players and the whole server)
- A new map Manager (based on an inventory interface), to list, rename, get and delete your maps
- Improvements on the commands system (integrated help and autocompletion)
- Asynchronous maps rendering (your server won't freeze anymore when rendering big maps, and you can queue multiple map renderings !)
- UUID management (which requires to run /maptool migrate)

4.2.0 The permission and cliffhanger update ⋅ Part I
- 1.17 support.
- Permissions to limit the number of map/image used/owned is now available. (permissions imageonmap.mapLimit.XX and imageonmap.imageLimit.XX where XX is an integer and will define the limit allowed for the player).
- Added a whitelist for trusted image hosting websites. Add an images-hostnames-whitelist list in config.yml, and write every URL prefix you want to allow. If you want to allow everything, remove the images-hostnames-whitelist list entirely, or empty it. There is also a permission to ignore the allow list: imageonmap.bypasswhitelist.
Code (YAML):images-hostnames-whitelist:
- i.imgur.com
- cdn.discord.com - Images are now protected against non player based interaction. (Bye bye sneaky skeleton that used to grief art!)

@Tiegertosch
:D Yes, this would be great.
Were is the 1.8 version, or will this already be compatible?
It's compatible with all versions.
I'm using it at 1.5.2 and works fine.
@Tiegertosch
If you get a plugin to change the lore on items you can remove its name and keep the map.
Can you make a option to disable the name of the map?
I have a bug with Metrics :

But otherwise it does work in 1.9
@Almathy
I've really enjoyed this plugin as well. I was about to use it to make a really impressive intro board for new players when, for reasons unknown, it started doing the same thing with placing the images off center. It would be really nice if someone would pick up this project and fix this plugin. The possibilities are endless.
/tomap http://imgae.url/myawesomepic.jpg resize
Does this plugin works on 1.9?
nvm.
when looking at the map in a frame, it displays some stupid holographic thing. (map row2 column1) whatever. That's pretty stupid. Otherwise works fine.
Hi,
I used this plugin a lot, but since some month my news images on map are "cut" : Screen here.
I don't know how I could fix it.
I think it due to a bug of the plugin...
Hi, how do I disable the automatic renaming of the map pieces whenever it gets cut into several parts?
NVM Im Figuring it out now the only bad thing is when i got off it and got back on the maps i placed stopped rendering
Its working which is good but I'm using this picture and it has more then 150 maps! heres the url http://i.imgur.com/vWyz784.jpg?1 it would be great if u could make it more limited cuz i really want get it finished!
Is there a way to limit what images can be used? The purpose would be to prevent people from uploading inappropriate images.

The console looks fine, but the maps that I receive all show up as vanilla minecraft maps, and the same map interesting enough. This happens both when attempting to use the Blackjack plugin that uses this plugin as a dependency for its card images and for using this plugin alone to generate images (I tried the links that were used in the example videos linked to this bukkit page).

@ArghThePirate
Check your console logs for any errors regarding the image loading. If you believe this is a bug, make a bug report on our bug tracker (https://github.com/Coutume/ImageOnMap/issues) and provide the console logs.
Does this work for CB 1.7.10? I can confirm the plugin is loaded and commands work but images load only as normal maps. I've tried both the 1.8 and 1.7.2 versions.
