Config

Code (YAML):

# Make sure all animations are started at the same time on startup (useful if you usethe same image on multiple frames)
synchronizedStart: false

# Enable this to not start any frames automatically on server start & if you'd like to start them manually instead
doNotStartAutomatically: false

# This is a (slightly hacky) fix for images which Java interpretes as the wrong image type
# You should enable this if you get this error when creating a image: "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown image type 0"
fixImageTypes: false

# Maximum distance for frames to be animated to players
# Note: Increasing this only has an effect if your server's rendering distance for entities is also increased (i.e. spigot.yml entity-tracking-range)
maxAnimateDistance: 32

# (ms) Default delay for GIFs with missing delay information (Time for each frame to be displayed)
defaultDelay: 50

Spoiler: Outdated Tutorial Videos

Note: The tutorials below use commands from an older version. Please use the similar commands listed above.

How to create a screen

1. Place down blocks to hold your item frames
2. Place down the item frames you want to use for the image
3. Upload an animation or image (.GIF | .PNG) or find one online. It should be rectangular or it will be stretched. Note: Due to a bug in some Java versions, JPEG images might not look like the original image
   1. For local image files, just specify the full file path (e.g. C:\\Users\\Me\\myImage.png)
4. Run the create command above with a custom name and the url to the image. You can also specify the path to a local file.
   1. Use shorteners like bitly if the link to your image is too long.
5. Follow the instructions you get in the chat:
   1. Right click the bottom-left item frame and wait
   2. Right click the top-right item frame and wait for your image to load

Note: For GIPHY images, replace the 'media.giphy.com' domain with 'i.giphy.com'

How to remove a screen
To remove a screen, run the remove command and specify the name


How it works - No lags
This plugin does not cause the expected lag/framerate issues you would expect.
It doesn't update the picture every frame (doing that would cause a lot of frame rate issues), it only updates the map item contained in the item frame.
The actual frames of the animation are only sent once with a little delay to prevent any lag issues.
