# Papyrus
A Minecraft: Bedrock Edition map renderer.
Papayrus renders a top-down map of every already explored chunk.
It works on Windows and on Linux, and it outputs HTML and images suitable for displaying on the web.

## Intro
Papyrus is a tool to render Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (MCBE) worlds on the web.
It's written in C# and powered by .NET Core.
You can view an example [here](http://papyrus.gwsa.de/).
There are several tools which work for Java Edition.
MCBE worlds don't use the Anvil format like in the Java Edition.
Mojang chose a [modified version](https://github.com/Mojang/leveldb-mcpe) of Google's [LevelDB](http://leveldb.org/) to save MCBE maps.
Papyrus reads these worlds and assembles a render of every pre-generated chunk.

## Setup
### Easy mode - Windows
- Grab the Windows [pre-built binaries](https://github.com/mjungnickel18/papyruscs/releases).
- Unpack the zip file.
- Optional: [update the textures](#updating-the-textures)
- Then follow the [usage instructions](#usage).
### Easy mode - Linux
- Grab the Linux [pre-built binaries](https://github.com/mjungnickel18/papyruscs/releases).
- Make sure that your graphics libs are up-to-date.
On Ubuntu/Debian, that looks like:
```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgdiplus
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev
```
- Make the `PapyrusCs` binary executable:
```chmod +x PapyrusCs```
- Optional: [update the textures](#updating-the-textures)
- Then follow the [usage instructions](#usage).
### Hard mode - build it yourself
See the [building](#building) instructions.
### Updating the textures
Papyrus comes with some of the required textures, but recent MCBE releases may have added more.
You can update with a texture pack in order to generate everything just right.
The vanilla resource pack with the default textures can be downloaded from [here](https://aka.ms/resourcepacktemplate).
Extract `textures/terrain_texture.json` and `textures/blocks/*` from that zip.
Wherever you unzipped Papyrus, replace its `textures/` directory with what you got from the resource pack.
## Usage
PapyrusCs is a command-line tool.
Supported flags are shown here.
`--world` and `--output` are required; the rest are optional.
```papyruscs --world "My World/db" --output "C:\papyrus"```
On Windows, you can now start `papyruscs.exe` in interactive mode.
Run without any arguments, and it will try to find your local minecraft maps.
The rest of the parameters are listed if you run with `--help`:

--playericons (Default: false) Renders player markers on the map. Player names must
be manually entered. After running, edit '/map/playersData.js' text
file to modify player names and colors.
--render_map (Default: true) Renders the map. This is the main feature of this
program. Only disable this in special circumstances, such as if you
want to quickly update player markers without updating the map.

## Building
Papyrus runs on .NET Core 3.0+.
First, make sure you have [.NET Core 3.0](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.0) on your development machine.
To compile for Windows, either use a recent Visual Studio or run:
```dotnet publish PapyrusCs -c Release --self-contained --runtime win-x64```
To compile for Linux run:
```dotnet publish PapyrusCs -c Debug --self-contained --runtime linux-x64```
### Additional dependencies
PapyrusCs depends on a few external libraries with some custom changes.

### What's new:
#### New folder structure:
The new folder structure is:
```
outputdir
|-map
| |-dim0
| |-dim1
| |-dim2
| |-map.html
| |-playersData.js
|-update
| |-dim0
| |-dim1
| |-dim2
| |-map.html
| |-playersData.js
|-chunks.sqlite
|-chunks-backup.sqlite
```
#### Incremental Rendering:
With strategy Dataflow (default) PapyrusCs creates a sqlite database with chunk CRCs to check if a update rendering is necessary.
PapyrusCs creates an update folder, which contains only the files that were updated (it will be copied to the map folder as well)
So you just have to upload the content of the update folder after an update of the map.
With the option
```
--deleteexistingupdatefolder
```
the current dimension update folder to be rendered (dim0/1/2) will be deleted before the next update will be rendered.
This is useful if you don't want to upload previous updated files again. Of course you can delete this folder by hand yourself.
#### Dimensions
PapyrusCs supports dimensions now: Overworld, Nether, The End\
To render another dimension, add the --dim parameter (default --dim 0):\
```
--dim 0 (=Overworld)
--dim 1 (=Nether)
--dim 2 (=The End)
```
To render all dimensions in one map with layers [See papyrus bedrock server](http://papyrus.gwsa.de/), you have to call PapyrusCs three times. Example:\
```
PapyrusCs -w -o -dim 0
PapyrusCs -w -o -dim 1
PapyrusCs -w -o -dim 2
```
This will generate all dimensions as maps.\
#### Outputformat
Multiple formats are now supported: jpg, png, webp\
You now can select the output format with -f jpg or -f png or -f webp\
For jpg and webp, you can select the quality:\
jpg: 0-100 (100 best)\
webp: 0-100 (100 best but lossy. Value -1 is lossless and usually smaller than 100, -1 is also default)\
You can set that value with the parameter -q
Example
```
-f webp -q -1
-f png
-f jpg -q 20
```
