Creative New type of decoration

[Ikonium]

This is a just a little idea which (i think) is not to hard to implement (because there is no coding) and which could be nice for the creative.

You can get every single map that have been created on MCPZ since the beginning with the command /i filled_map 1 [random numbers] and, for example, if you check the numbers 1 to 10 you'll see that they are all blank.
So my idea is to change the data values of these blank maps to add special images on them and then use them as painting or else by using a thing called ImageToMap.

Examples:
- A 5x5 painting using 25 maps
- The Dizzeh profile pic turned into a painting.

Spoiler: How i did for the dragon one

• I took an image on internet
• I cut 100x100 pixels chunks of it with Paint
  
• I used ImageToMap Tool to transform the chunks into map data
• I placed the map datas in my "Data" folder itself in my [WorldName] folder itself in my "Save" folder itself in my ".Minecraft" folder.
  
  
  
  
• I went on my world, gave myself the 25 painting parts and put them in item frames.

Normally, a server folder should look something like this.
The "Data" folder is in the "World" one.
(It is actually a normal server with one world so i dunno how it works with more worlds)

So the only thing to do is that the owner/admins have to put the datas of the maps into the "data" folder to replace the old ones.
The paintings would be given by players and other players could vote for their favorite. The paintings with the most of votes would be implemented in creative.
There could be also some art competitions and the winner(s) could get their art as a painting on the server.
Of course normal maps which show your location will still work if you create some new ones.

I hope that I've explained well :l but if you have any questions or sugestions about this, feel free to reply.

On one hand, it's not needed, but on the other hand it's a really good idea.

This would be cool. There are a lot of rps, so these could be neat when decorating one.

What will be the main use of this?

I just don't really see the point in it. It's obviously a good suggestion , but it would probably cause a bit of lag when putting it down. Also if PZ added it they'd probably have to set a limit of paintings I would think to keep all the lag at hand. I don't think it should be added personally.

Also , it would take a lot of time and effort , but you can do that by putting maps in item frames , then just save it to your saved toolbars.

it's just aesthetics

There is already an item frame limit and it's impossible to import filled maps from a single player world (I tried before I did the thread).

If you want those really bad you can just edit your texture pack to add those paintings.
As there isn't a point in this time consuming work.

I didn't suggest this for me but for the server.
Of course I could make a texture pack but it won't bring any potential benefit to the server.

I love the idea. Adding custom pictures (they could be the PZ logo, and the forum emotes or something) to put on walls is very neat. I've always wanted to make an RP that included a picture (a murder RP, saying DON'T LOOK BACK) and as long as its a customizable thing (which is possible with tinkering) itd be cool!

 

[Supernqtural]

Love the idea!

I'm all for new decorations in Creative and I used to love image map usage in builds. +1 from me.

This is just useless, honestly..

 

[Ikonium]

This is just useless, honestly..

Maybe useless for you but not for everyone

 

[yuc KK y]

This is just useless, honestly..

yeah but it could be cool

 

[Emviar]

This is just useless, honestly..

So was the /marry command, and people still wanted it for Lord knows why

I think this is pretty cool. There'd certainly need to be a limit as to how many you can keep on your plot at once to keep lag down, but the staff and developers can tweak that over time. We'd also have to be on the lookout for inappropriate images, but since that's already a rule for builds, I don't think that will be too hard to manage.

As I said before, there is already an item frame limit. Since the map have to be displayed in an item frame, there is already a limit.

2nd thing is that not everyone will be allowed to add images on maps, I've suggested that the pictures which are going to be implemented will be given and chosen by the community via art events or via some suggestions.
Images couldn't be added without the community and the staff consent.
So no inappropriate images

Nice for more detailed signs and also having games!

Not everything needs a specific use, it’s just for fun an aesthetics. It’s to make the server different.
The marry command has no real purpose, it’s just for fun.

Honestly I’d love to see this added to creative. It’d be lovely to have in roleplays and, in general, decoration.
