Next you’ll see a page which has two dropdown boxes at the top, along with an example of your image and the settings you saved at the bottom. Start by heading back to the tool’s home page and click the button to upload your image. It’s time to start creating these map files. Upload Your ImageĪlright, your image is edited, the item frames are in place, and your tool settings are saved. Set those fields to whatever number you’d like, and then click “Save settings” before moving on to Step 4. You can copy these settings exactly as they are for this tutorial.įor our purposes, we have a world border set up in the world that has a radius of 20,000 blocks, so setting the X center and Z center to 999,999 blocks away from spawn will perfectly prevent anyone from venturing into that area and messing up the pictures. Without proper lighting, your final picture will look a bit pixellated due to the lighting differences from one block to another, so you might as well get that set up now. We also put glowstone behind the four corners, though you may want to put glowstone (or any light-emitting block) behind all of the item frames depending on the size of your picture. Since our image is 3×4, We made a solid wall with 3 item frames going across, and 4 item frames going down. You may have already done this before you even started Step 1, but here’s a quick reminder: You’re going to need a wall with item frames. Both of those will fit the same shape and dimensions. Something like 2,000 pixels by 2,000 pixels might be good, or even larger at 3,000 pixels by 3,000 pixels. Get the image on your computer and using a tool like GIMP or Photoshop you can edit it to have the same 5×5 ratio. If you want to fill a 5×5 wall with one massive picture, you can follow the same logic. Specifically, this image is 1,728 pixels (18 inches) wide by 2,304 pixels (24 inches) tall. We know that we have a wall with a 3×4 area where we want the image to go, so we made sure that the image’s dimensions are at the same 3×4 ratio. Now, this image is already set at the correct dimensions.

( Here’s how to find that folder)Īlso a shameless plug for a new 1.14 server coming soon.

You can find this by opening your world’s folder on your computer or server, then going into the data sub-folder, and looking at the number of maps shown there.

In this tutorial we’re going to show you how to use the MC Map Item Tool from djfun to create your custom map pictures in just minutes, and this even works on Java Minecraft servers without any plugins or mods to download!
