FAQQ: Will this lag my server?
No. Animation frames are sent only to players who can actually see the map, and everything runs off the main thread.
Q: Do players need a resource pack or client mod?
No. It works on vanilla clients — nothing to install.
Q: What image formats are supported?
GIF (animated), PNG, and JPEG.
Q: Do maps survive a server restart?
Yes. Everything is stored in SQLite and automatically restored on startup. If an image file is missing, it re-downloads from the original URL.
Q: Does this come with source code?
No, sorry.
Q: Why is the JAR file so large?
GifToMap is written in Kotlin and bundles everything it needs — PacketEvents, coroutines, and an HTTP client
