MCPainter is a simple plugin that allows the players to import 2d and 3d graphics into the minecraft. It is capable to load images from the web, and construct images using blocks. So basically it automatically creates pixel art of you favorite graphics (or maybe your own photo?). Regarding 3d features, the plugin allows you to create one of the minecraft blocks (or items), and to create a statue of a player (finally no more long hours spent on creating and maintaining the hall of fame!). Since almost all the features can lag the server the admins can configure the maximum size of the image that the player can draw (see: Permissions).
To install the plugin simply follow those steps:

You probably did not install MCPainter correctly. You need to get the full minecraft resource file (the game file). To get this file follow those simple steps:
For 1.0 RC1 :
- download and start the original minecraft launcher
- login and let the game download resources for minecraft 1.6.x (if you did not do that earlier)
- goto to your minecraft folder
- on Linux go to ~/.minecraft/
- on Windows go to %appdata%.minecraft
- on MaxOs go to "~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
- go to versions/1.6.4
- locate the 1.6.4.jar file (or other 1.6.x.jar if you are running a different version)
- copy the file into /plugins/MCPainter/mods (or any other mods folder you have set up in the config file)
The admin can configure what blocks can by used by the plugin to draw the images (see: Configuration and Palettes). When the plugin starts it goes over all the defined blocks and calculates its mean color. This color is then used to decide witch block should by used to draw a certain pixel of the image. To calculate the mean color the plugin uses the default minecraft blocks texture files, but if your server requires a texture pack you can specify other files for it to use (including HD textures).
MCPainter has support for blocks that are available in mod packs. You can simply use blocks from the mods as "color blocks" for the block palette. You can also draw blocks (and mobs) from those mods if you have a file that contains drawing instructions for those blocks.
Tired of simple minecraft blocks? or you want to design your own block statue? the block you need is not available in MCPainter? or you are using a mod that's not yet supported? Now you can design custom blocks and statues by yourself! All you need to do is provide drawing instructions for MCPainter. Check the mods and new blocks section for more information.
Since version 1.0-RC3 server owners can define custom palettes that users can chose to use when drawing models.

The plugin allows users to draw images directly from the web in to the minecraft world or to the map. Before drawing the image it can by resized and cropped.

This plugin uses MCStats to gather statistics. It gathers only the standard stats gathered for most of MCStat's enabled plugins (for example: OS, Java version, CPU, country, plugin and server version). For details what exactly is gathered click on the graph below. To disable the stats you need to disable stats gathering for MCStats (set opt-out to true in plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml). This disables all the stats gathering for all plugins that use the default MCStats.
Thank you for using this plugin.
