Custom resourcepack support:
As of the 1.0.14 patch, Pixelprinter allows for server-wide resourcepack support. Using this feature will allow for better quality and accuracy of images when using custom resourcepacks. To add custom resourcepack support, do the following:
- Go into the <Server>/plugins/PixelPrinter/custom_textures/ directory.
- In a new window, open the resourcepack zip file and navigate to the Minecraft>textures>blocks folder.
- In there, drag all textures into the custom_textures directory.
And that's it. Pixelprinter will handle the rest.

This plugin uses bStats:
bStats is a metrics service that allows me to to see how many servers use my plugins, how many players they have, and which countries use my plugin the most. All information is anonymized, so no information can be directly linked to you, and instead is added to the average of all severs that use the plugin.

Posted Oct 2, 2019nice plugin,
Can I translate it and reprint it on a Chinese forum? Chinese players like this plugin very much, but we do not have good reprinting and translation.
I will mark the author and the original in the reprinted posts.
