EtherImagen
by jhonii7
EtherImagen lets players upload pictures from their computer and place them in the world as framed decorations such as posters, artwork, signs and event banners.
What it does
Images are stored on the player's PC and sent into the world through special image frames, so a picture can be hung on any wall the player chooses. Posters, artwork, signs, memes and event banners are all covered by the same frame system, and the decorations work in survival and creative worlds alike.
Multiplayer is supported, and a permissions setting decides who may use the image frames: by default every player can, while a server can restrict them to operators only. Admins control the frames with commands. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric and Forge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with version 1.0.0 as the latest build, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
The mod is lightweight and optimized. The author notes that a companion to fetch images from web addresses, WaterMedia, is planned for a later release, so direct links are not yet part of the current build.
