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.
And that's it. Pixelprinter will handle the rest.

How to Install
Drop this plugin into you plugins folder and restart your server.
This plugin uses bStats:
bStats is a metrics service that allows me to to see how many servers use my plugins, how many players they have, and which countries use my plugin the most. All information is anonymized, so no information can be directly linked to you, and instead is added to the average of all severs that use the plugin.
will you be fixing the bug that unloads the map for Createframes when the server restarts?
nice project
hi, there seem to be a problem.
Everything I use /pp cf .........
The image last row never load which cause lag. I tried different images and different supported image type and always same problem.
Please look into this. Thank you very much!
In reply to paladin7378:
I didn't try it out yet or know if this feature already exists, but how about ignoring transparent pixels and only create the other ones as blocks? Example: https://orig12.deviantart.net/a087/f/2014/020/0/a/minecraft_pixel_art_smiling_fries_by_aurora_bloodshard-d7325s5.png

It is meant to create Pixel Art, whether it is a still image or animated. It was also meant to be a demonstration on how to use the Library/ Resource listed above as "HERE".
Also, because it does not use maps but instead blocks, the plugin will be less memory intensive, allows for larger areas to be loaded, (and since itemframes are entities) the image will not disappear if you are further than 256 blocks away. Also, this plugin does not require any extra plugins or APIs to work (unlike AnimatedFrames).
TL: DR This was just a test for the resource that I made. Although that plugin is still good for some situations, this plugin would be better if you need larger images, less plugins, and less memory consumption by plugins.
While this is good for pixel art, i don't recommend it for pictures, largely because you can get a better resolution using a plugin like AnimatedFrames. (which uses maps) otherwise this is great for pixel art.
