It provides a simple API to create maps with custom content. Using lightweight and asynchronous techniques, MapEngine has a very low impact on server performance. ## Features - Pipelined API for custom pipelines - Asynchronous rendering - Completely packet based - Optional dithering (Floyd-Steinberg) - Groups as z-layer interpretation for saving immense network traffic - Per player buffering, only the changed pixels are sent to the player - Optional packet bundling prevents tearing - Drawing utilities (text, components, lines, triangles, rectangles, circles, ellipses, polygons)

Live streaming via RTMP on maps

This is an example of a live stream on a map. The stream is played on a 7x4 map array. The Stream source is 1920x1080@20 streamed with OBS. ![Watch it here](https://youtu.be/5tg_DX84eLw)

Floyd Sternberg dithering

This is an example of a map with Floyd-Steinberg dithering enabled. The stream is played on a 7x4 map array. The Stream source is 1920x1080@20 streamed with OBS. ![Watch it here](https://youtu.be/b2wxlgllsQs)

### Example ```java public class Bar { // getting the api instance private static final MapEngineApi MAP_ENGINE = Bukkit.getServicesManager().load(MapEngineApi.class); public void foo(BufferedImage image, BlockVector cornerA, BlockVector cornerB, BlockFace facing, Player viewer) { // create a map display instance IMapDisplay display = MAP_ENGINE.displayProvider().createBasic(cornerA, cornerB, facing); display.spawn(viewer); // spawn the map display for the player // create an input pipeline element // this object can also be used to draw simple shapes and text IDrawingSpace input = MAP_ENGINE.pipeline().createDrawingSpace(display); // draw the image to the input pipeline element input.image(image,0,0); // draw a triangle input.triangle(0, 0, 10, 10, 20, 0, 0xff0000ff); // add a player to the pipeline context, // making the player receive the map input.ctx().receivers().add(viewer); // enable floyd-steinberg dithering input.ctx().converter(Converter.FLOYD_STEINBERG); // enable per player buffering input.ctx().buffering(true); // flush the pipeline // the drawing space can be reused input.flush(); } } ``` More detailed examples can be found in the [TheJoCraftNET/MapEngineExamples](https://github.com/TheJoCraftNET/MapEngineExamples) repository.
