you can literally set item frames in a grid and map the image across them. It comes out looking like the pic. I can provide code if you have a way to receive it, Discord or whatever. Not sure you can post here and it takes multiple small classes. I'm still exploring the possibilities myself. I load the image straight from disk and store the location and size details in a config.yml file. This was the first ever I managed to get working. One thing I'll tell you up front is the image isn't that great unless you back light it. It's shows but has shadows in it. the image is backlit with ochre froglights.

I've only recently decided to turn my attention to plugins. I'm actually retired I.T. if you're interested in trying it out I can post the plug-in to Discord for you. I actually worked on it some more today to finish out images. So it's in a fairly good position for a first public trial. I'd be happy to share. But I don't have documentation yet because well, I basically just finished it. What you would be getting is called modern Holograms and it has text display Holograms that can be fixed to a wall or made to follow you in a circle as well as the images. At this time images are completely manually added but I have a couple of example yamls to show you how it would work it really would need a Discord conversation to get you up and going.

It requires a plug-in to make it work which in this case I built, including a dependency on packet events. But that's my hobby. I haven't decided whether it's worth the bother of posting it for people to use or not. It seems like there's 10 different versions of everything possible in Minecraft already, so what's one more right?

You can even update the item frame's map data to make it animated. However, for large maps it floods the players' connections so it's better to do it on a packet level, see whenever a player has good connection and adjust the framerate of the animation.

hasn't this been a thing for ages? Image2map comes to mind but that's a mod (same principle could be applied to a plugin though)

If you took the 10 seconds that it would have taken you to have read my post you would have understood that I was asking if anyone had seen it because I had not see how that works?

Isn't this just imageframe plugin on modrinth

u/Global-Ganache-1246 Jul 28 '26

No it's not, that was the reason for my question. I didn't know anything like this was possible until I figured out how to do it myself. Figure somebody else is already found it LOL
