Painter Table
by Vital1kS
Painter Table is a Forge and NeoForge decoration mod that turns an image from the internet into a map art piece through a sketch, a sketchbook and a painter table.
What it does
The painter table is the main block of the mod. A player draws a sketch with a new dense paper and a pencil, holding the pencil in one hand and the paper in the other while pressing the right mouse button. The sketch is then placed in the painter table along with the chosen dyes, and the table outputs a finished map. Each square of the art is one map, and the player selects which squares to paint and previews them before starting.
Images can be brought in by copying an image link and using it to make the art. The item stores the image URL, so the table can draw that picture, and the sketches can be combined into a sketchbook that is named by the player. Sketches inside the sketchbook are shown in grayscale, and the painter table can take a sketch from the book to replace the one in it. Art size is adjustable, with height and width set by the player.
Hoppers can interact with the painter table, so dyes and dense paper can be fed in automatically and maps taken out. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved, and it is not open source, although the source code is public. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across three game versions: 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4.
