Image2Map

by Patbox

Image2Map turns an image into map items that a server can hand to players, so pictures can be shown on vanilla-compatible maps.

What it does

The mod renders a chosen image onto one or more maps. Players receive the resulting map items, which display the picture on a server running the mod. The description notes that it works on a vanilla-compatible server. Image2Map is published for Fabric and Quilt, with snapshot builds available, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. Builds cover 1.16 – 26.3 across 34 release versions, and the latest Fabric file targets 26.3.

Key features

  1. Image to map rendering

    Converts an image into one or more map items that show the picture when opened.

  2. Multi-map images

    A picture can be spread across several maps, so larger images are displayed across a grid of map items.

  3. Vanilla-compatible output

    The rendered maps use standard map items, so they work on a server without client-side changes.
