Online Picture Frames

Frames — Dynamic Picture Frames for Hytale

Frames adds in-game picture frames that can display full-resolution images from any URL. No client-side modding required — upload or apply images from the in-game UI and they render at the exact pixel resolution you supply (scaled to the chosen block size).

Highlights

Full-resolution image rendering: supports saving and displaying images at their native pixel dimensions, then scales to the requested block dimensions while preserving aspect ratio.

Dynamic assets: when you upload an image the mod generates a dedicated item, block model, and texture automatically.

Frame sizes: You can choose the pictures to be any size you want! You just need to specify a width (in blocks) and the height will scale accordingly.

Per-instance metadata: every placed frame instance is recorded in per-item metadata (mods/BoffmediaFrames/Frames/<itemId>.json) with coordinates and block sizing.

Global index: fast coord → item lookup via mods/BoffmediaFrames/FramesIndex.json for quick UI prefill and admin tasks.

Admin UI & tools: /listframes admin command with a list UI, and options to delete generated assets cleanly.

How it works

Place a frame and interact with it.

Paste an image URL into the in-game UI and Upload, or paste an existing generated Boff_Frame_<Name> id and Apply.

The mod downloads the image, creates a texture, blockymodel and an item JSON, writes per-item metadata, updates the global index, and (after a short delay) replaces the block so the new item appears in-world.

Installation

Place the mod in your mods folder.

Start the server and allow the mod to copy its default assets into mods/BoffmediaFrames (a server restart or a world save may be required on first run).

Requirements

Server restart/save: on first install you may need to restart or save the server once so the mod can initialize and copy its default assets.

Experimental: this mod is experimental and leverages the server's asset system — reload timing can affect when generated assets are available for immediate use.
