I was wondering this the other day, as I have the PirateCraft world as my wall paper for my laptop, & thought “Why someone should make a Live Map wallpaper! That would be super cool & helpful”.

It would work like how a downloadable animated wall paper works, but it would show the entire world, but you wouldn’t be able to zoom in mainly because this would annoy you when on your homepage & would require more work to use.

It wouldn’t need to include a player screen as you could see everyone & there could be a downloadable wall paper for the Overworld, Nether, End & or any new worlds coming soon!

I surely am not clever enough to do this, but I guess I’m great at generating the ideas!

Also, on the dedicated wall papers, I know people could copy & paste server posted pictures, but if people went round & took great pictures of well known PirateCraft landmarks & or BOTM (entries or winners, it doesn’t matter) it could look nice.

Also this includes ‘Fan-art’ possible wallpapers.

Again, these are only ideas, I wonder if anyone would be willing to make a downloadable live map wallpaper.

What are other people’s thoughts on this & if so, would you make it?

This is actually quite simple, you can set your wallpaper as any website, im sure this has been doable since 1998, no idea if it works in windows 10 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/171165

Another option theres software available to set any website as your background http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Other-Desktop-Enhancements/WallpaperWebPage.shtml

Right, I went to the website & proceeded to download.

My Microsoft security blocked it (pretty sure I can ‘override’ it but I didn’t, you’ll see why) & I then went to look for another one, but it brought me back to the same one again (this was from a different website), I then went to look at reviews & comments, all of which where either negative or problematic or it had ‘worked’ first time & it was like the most efficient thing possible.

So I then stopped my search & came back to here.

So yeah, again, it would be wonderful if someone could produce a wall paper of the Live Map, but without the use of downloadable content which may muck up my or anyone’s PC.

Thanks again Gods for your help, yet it seems that it wasn’t the safest method to go with.
