Wall Art

🖼️ Wall Art – Custom Images, GIFs & Cinema Screens

Transform your walls into everything from small picture frames and neon signs to massive, seamless cinema screens! Wall Art lets you craft stackable Canvas Frames (wallart:canvas_frame) that automatically connect into a single shared canvas. Paste a link right in-game to display high-resolution images, animated GIFs, or stream videos together with your friends on the server.

✨ Key Features

• Seamless Multi-Block Canvases: Place Canvas Frames next to each other in any rectangular shape (from 1×1 up to massive walls) to form one unified display.
• Image & GIF Mode (Image / GIF): Load custom PNG, JPG, and animated GIF files directly via image URLs.
• Built-In Editor & Live Preview: Fine-tune your artwork in-game with 3 fit modes (Fit: whole image, Fill: crop edges, Stretch to canvas), smooth Zoom, and Horizontal/Vertical panning.
• Shared Multiplayer Cinema (Video / Cinema): Paste a public video URL and watch together in multiplayer!
• Synced Playback & Distance Audio: Control the screen for everyone with Play, Pause, Restart, timestamp seeking (seconds), Loop (on/off), Volume sliders, and distance-based spatial sound.
• Smart Client Caching: Images and media streams are cached locally on each player's computer for smooth performance.
• Localization: Full language support for English (en_us) and Swedish (sv_se).

🛠️ Crafting & How to Use

• Crafting Recipe: Place 1 Paper in the center of a Crafting Table surrounded by 8 Sticks to craft 8 Canvas Frames.
• How to Edit: Place your frames in a rectangle on a wall, then Shift + Right-Click the canvas with an empty main hand to open the Wall Art editor.

⚙️ Server Configuration

Server admins can customize canvas size limits in the server config (WallArtConfig):

• maxCanvasSide – Maximum width or height of a canvas (up to 256 blocks).
• maxCanvasTiles – Maximum total frames in a single canvas (all frames must be in loaded chunks when editing).

📦 External Cinema Components (Runtime Downloads)

To keep the mod JAR lightweight, video codecs are not bundled inside the JAR. When using the Video / Cinema mode, the mod automatically downloads required runtime components into config/wallart/video-runtime and verifies every file against hardcoded SHA-256 checksums:

• JavaCV & JavaCPP 1.5.14 and FFmpeg 8.1.2 (from Maven Central) for video decoding.
• yt-dlp (2026.08.19) and Deno (v2.9.7) (from official GitHub Releases for Windows/Linux x86_64) for resolving public video links.
• These components can be removed at any time by deleting config/wallart/video-runtime while Minecraft is closed.

Shift + Högerklicka på ramen för att klistra in en bildlänk (PNG, JPG, GIF) eller en offentlig videolänk (Video / Biosalong) med zoom, beskärning, förhandsvisning och synkat avståndsljud för alla spelare på servern.
