We need to create those 12 maps in the game before doing anything else. Well, that means we’re going to have 12 maps total that will be rendered using the MC Map Item Tool. Here’s where things might get a little tricky. If everything looks good, though, click the “Adjust colors” button to continue. If so, you may need to go back to Step 1 and re-adjust your image to fit better. This is your chance to see if the image will be skewed or squashed, if any of it looks strange after the colors are converted, or if a part of the image is missing. The next page you’ll see doesn’t have any settings you need to change, but it does give you one last chance to look over your image and each individual map part before the files are rendered. Once you’ve selected the right options, click the “Select number” button. Since our image is 3×4, we selected “3” for the Horizontal setting and “4” for the Vertical setting, like the image below.
That’s OK! This is just to show you that you uploaded the correct image.Īt this point we need to change the two dropdown boxes to match the size area you set up in Step 2.
You’ll notice that your image probably looks squashed or stretched right now. 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. The total number of Maps that already exist in your world.You’ll also want to know the dimensions of the image, and for best results make sure those dimensions are easily divisible into clean integers (1, 2, 3, 4…). An image you want to bring in as a picture.Since this is a browser-based tool, you’ll need to be able to get online so you can use the website. This is the method that I used to create the posters shown in the header image on this article, and I’ll definitely be using it more in the future.īefore you get started, you’ll need to have a few things ready:
