AnimatedFrames

AnimatedFrames is a lightweight, fully optimized Spigot/Paper plugin that lets you put custom images and animated GIFs directly into your Minecraft world. Just grab a URL from the internet, type a command, and click a wall to instantly build a massive, working cinema screen!

🌟 Features

No Hard Drive Space Required: It streams the images and GIFs directly from URLs, meaning your server doesn't bloat up with downloaded files.
Buttery Smooth 20 FPS: We completely bypassed the native Minecraft map limits. Animations run at a perfectly smooth 20 frames per second using a custom asynchronous renderer that won't lag your main thread.
Multiplayer Synced: Every player sees the exact same frame of the GIF at the exact same time.
Auto-Saving: Don't worry about server restarts. Everything you place is saved to a local database and instantly pops back up when the server comes back online.

Enjoy the show!
