Plugin MapEngine

MapEngine, dynamic map displays for Paper servers

MapEngine is a library plugin for Paper Minecraft servers that gives other plugins an API for creating map displays with custom content. It can render images, text, shapes, animated media, and, with compatible extensions, video or live streams directly through Minecraft maps.

Its main strengths include asynchronous rendering, packet based updates, per player buffering, optional dithering, and packet bundling to reduce visual tearing and network traffic. This flexible foundation is useful for interactive screens, information panels, cinematic displays, and creative server features. At BoxToPlay, we make this kind of Paper server experience simple to enjoy.
