Installation

Note

The MCAV plugin is currently in heavy development and may contain bugs or incomplete features. As the name suggests, this is a sandbox plugin just for fun purposes.

The MCAV plugin is a Paper plugin that allows you to display images, vidoes, browsers, and virtual machines in Minecraft. It is designed to be a fun and experimental plugin that showcases the capabilities of the MCAV library.

Installation

It’s super easy to install the MCAV plugin on your Minecraft server.

Warning

The MCAV plugin is compatible with Paper servers only. It will not work on Spigot or Bukkit servers. You must also use version 1.21.10 to run the plugin. It will not work on any other version of Minecraft.

1. Grab the latest JAR from the TeamCity CI page here.

2. Place the JAR file into the plugins folder of your server.

Warning

If you are on Linux and using a headless environment, you may need to install several dependencies before you run the plugin.

Run the following command to install the necessary dependencies: sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y vlc libopencv-dev qemu-user-static ffmpeg

On first load, the plugin will take a while to load as it needs to download all the necessary dependencies. Give it around a few minutes for the first boot to complete. After that, subsequent boots should load substantially faster.

Warning

You must have QEMU installed and configured to use the virtual machine functionality of the MCAV plugin. Install QEMU from your package manager or download it from the official QEMU website.
