Read the entire page before buying the plugin or asking questions.

When using skinrender.com I see a big red square! More information here.

If you have any issues, please contact Thiemo (@TrinityDEV support, not me) before posting a review.

A full documentation of the plugin's inbuilt renderers can be found here.



BannerBoard can show different banners to different players. You can also put the skin of the player on a banner!


As of version 1.7.0 BannerBoard also supports changing banners. Please note that for performance reasons I recommend not to set the update interval to lower than 30 seconds.

BannerBoard does not support animations. So it doesn't support .gif files either.

BannerBoard is not compatible with any Spigot 1.7 build or lower.

Are you looking for an awesome way to communicate with your players personally? Please keep reading!

BannerBoard does not require any client side modifications. Everything is ran on the server side.

Added PlaceholderAPI support in version 1.3.5.

SkinRender.com Key
Please note that skinrender.com is not part of BannerBoard. Any skin render service that provides skins via HTML can be used with BannerBoard. The skinrender.com server only works with a key. I give a key for free to everyone who purchases BannerBoard. Once you have purchased BannerBoard, you will receive a key in your SpigotMC conversation inbox within an hour. The BannerBoard plugin works just fine without a key, but you will not be able to use skinrender.com, so you'll have to find an alternative site to fetch your skin renders from.
BannerBoard is still fully functional without the use of a key.



Shop implementation NOW available!

What is BannerBoard?
BannerBoard uses maps to render images in your server as banners. BannerBoard banners are dynamically rendered when a player logs in. Thank donators or encourage new players to visit your shop? It's possible! The possibilities are endless and BannerBoard is easy to use with its powerful and user friendly configuration. The rendered images are 128 x 128 pixels per block, that’s a higher quality than most resource packs are!

Lightweight
Performance is of great importance for every server owner, that is exactly why I made this entire plugin with that in mind. Not only does the image rendering happen entirely on separated threads, but also is the BannerBoard color picking system more than twenty times faster than the inbuilt Spigot color picking system. This is done by using an advanced caching system.

Check it out yourself
It is always better to see something with your own eyes. Feel free to join my test server and have a look at the four banners I have made as examples.

Preview server currently offline.
I'll be making a small list of all servers currently running BannerBoard, please contact me if you would like to be added.

Requirements

• Spigot 1.8 or higher.
• Images are cached on startup. Depending on how many images you have, I’d say the amount of memory this plugin uses is a few megabytes plus the size of your /images/ folder.
• A decent internet connection. Also make sure to enable packet compression at a threshold of 256 or less bytes. If you have packet compression disabled, make sure to turn it on. It is enabled by default.
• At least two cores so the main thread won’t suffer from the BannerBoard render threads.
• Java 7 or higher.

Configuration
BannerBoard is highly configurable. The config is very powerful and easy to use. If you can't figure out how it works, please check the video below about BannerBoard. If you still don't get it to work, I offer help with the configuration for free.
