Emage 🎨

A highly-optimized image and GIF renderer built for modern Paper servers. By completely bypassing Minecraft’s heavy default map API, Emage uses a custom packet pipeline to stream media directly to your players. You get the freedom to decorate your world with smooth animations without compromising server performance.

• Java 22
• Paper 1.21 or higher
• PacketEvents (Required dependency)

Installation

1. Place the PacketEvents.jar and Emage-VERSION.jar into your plugins/ folder.
2. Start the server.
