# EpicMiniMapDrawing — Cross-Server Map Art Plugin Turn ordinary filled maps into **signed, cross-server "Map Art" pieces that can't be stolen**. Convert maps into credited artworks, pay to make copies, sync everything across servers via MySQL, and automatically hide player arrows and item-frame markers so only the artwork itself remains. SpigotMC: --- ## ✨ Features - **Map conversion**: Hold a normal filled map in your main hand and **double-tap Shift (sneak)** to open the conversion menu. Pay a fee and the map is replaced in-place with a signed Map Art piece. - **Author credit & protection**: Every piece records its **creator, ID and creation time**, embedded in the item name and lore permanently. - **Paid copying**: Hold your own Map Art and double-tap Shift to copy it in bulk with a selectable quantity, charged per copy. **You can only copy art you created yourself** — no one else can duplicate your work. - **Cross-server sync**: - `SQLite` mode works out of the box with zero database setup; - `MySQL` mode shares map data across all your servers — create on server A, copy on server B. - **Clean artwork**: Automatically removes the **white holder-position arrow** and the **green item-frame marker** from Map Art, so framed displays show only the picture. - **Visual GUI**: Both conversion and copying use chest menus; adjust quantity with +1 / +10 buttons; Shift-click confirmation prevents accidents. - **Fully configurable**: Menu layouts and every message are plain YAML files you can edit freely. - **Bilingual**: Built-in `zh_cn` / `en_us`, switched with a single config line. - **Hot reload**: Apply config, menu and language changes instantly with `/emm reload` — no restart. - **Lightweight**: The jar is only ~80 KB; database drivers are downloaded on demand by the server. --- ## 📖 How to use ### Convert (create Map Art) 1. Hold a normal, explored **filled map** in your main hand. 2. **Double-tap Shift (sneak) quickly** to open the "Map Conversion" menu. 3. Review the conversion fee, then **hold Shift and click "Confirm Conversion"**. 4. After payment, the map in your hand becomes signed Map Art and is saved to the database. ### Copy (your own art only) 1. Hold a Map Art piece **you created** and double-tap Shift. 2. In the "Map Copy" menu, use the `+ / -` buttons to set the quantity (click = ±1, Shift-click = ±10). 3. Hold Shift and click "Confirm Copy" to pay and generate the copies. 4. If your inventory is full, the extra maps drop at your feet — remember to pick them up. > Trying to copy someone else's art is rejected with "You can only copy your own Map Art." --- ## 🔧 Installation 1. Drop `EpicMiniMapDrawing-1.0.0.jar` into your server's `plugins/` folder. 2. Make sure **[Vault](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/vault.34315/)** and a Vault-compatible economy plugin (EssentialsX, CMI, etc.) are installed. 3. Start the server; files are generated under `plugins/EpicMiniMapDrawing/`. 4. (Optional) Edit `config.yml` for storage, fees and language, then run `/emm reload all`. **On first startup the database libraries (HikariCP / SQLite / MySQL) are downloaded automatically from Maven Central — please ensure the server has internet access.** --- ## ⚙️ Configuration (config.yml) ```yaml # Interface language: zh_cn(简体中文) / zh_tw(繁體中文) / en_us(English) / ja_jp(日本語) / # ko_kr(한국어) / de_de(Deutsch) / fr_fr(français) / ru_ru(русский) / # pt_br(Português do Brasil) / nl_nl(Nederlands) / es_es(Español) / # it_it(Italiano) / pl_pl(Polski) language: en_us # Storage: sqlite (local, default) / mysql (shared across servers) storage: sqlite sqlite: file: playerdata/data.db database: # used only when storage: mysql host: 127.0.0.1 port: 3306 database: epicminimapdrawing username: root password: root useSSL: false economy: conversion-cost: 500 # conversion fee copy-cost: 50 # fee per copy ``` > Switching `storage` or changing database credentials is a low-level change and **requires a full server restart**; everything else can be hot-reloaded. --- ## 🛠️ Commands & Permissions | Command | Description | |---|---| | `/emm reload all` | Reload all configuration | | `/emm reload menu` | Reload menu layouts only | | `/emm reload lang` | Reload language files only | | `/emm reload config` | Reload the main config only | | `/emm resetconfig all` | Reset all config (old files backed up automatically) | | `/emm resetconfig menu / lang / config` | Reset a specific section | - Alias: `/emm` - Permission node: `epicminimapdrawing.admin` (default: OP) - Regular players need **no** permission to convert or copy their own Map Art. --- ## 🔗 Cross-Server (MySQL) Setup - Point every backend server to the same MySQL database. - Map Art converted on any server is stored centrally and can be queried/copied on all others immediately. - Recommended behind BungeeCord / Velocity; remember to schedule database backups. --- ## 🧩 Compatibility | Item | Requirement | |---|---| | Server | Spigot / Paper / Purpur **1.16.5 – 26.3** | | Java | 8 or higher (subject to your server version) | | Dependencies | Vault + any economy plugin | | Storage | SQLite (bundled) or MySQL 5.7+ / 8.x | --- ## 📊 Metrics This plugin uses **[bStats](https://bstats.org/plugin/bukkit/EpicMiniMapDrawing/34515)** for fully anonymous metrics (storage type, language). No personal data is collected. Opt out via `enabled: false` in `plugins/bStats/config.yml`. --- ## 📜 Support - Authors: Kobayashi & Linchangqing - Found a bug or have a feature request?
