4chan’s guide to converting GIF to WebM - https://boards.4chan.org/g/res/41212767

Grab ffmpeg from https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

It's a command line tool which means you will have to type things with your keyboard instead of clicking on buttons.

The most trivial operation would be converting gifs:

ffmpeg -i your_gif.gif -c:v libvpx -crf 12 -b:v 500K output.webm
  • -crf values can go from 4 to 63. Lower values mean better quality.
  • -b:v is the maximum allowed bitrate. Higher means better quality.

A fully comprehensive tutorial for webbukkit/dynmap to render the nether roof in Minecraft

Initial Setup of the Nether Roof Map

  1. Assuming dynmap is already initialized and the folder structure has been generated during a first-time run, <Spigot_Server>/plugins/dynmap/custom-perspectives.txt should exist.
  2. Open custom-perspectives.txt in a text editor.
  3. In this file below the line perspectives: add the following lines of text.
  - class: org.dynmap.hdmap.IsoHDPerspective
    name: nether_top_map_lowres
    maximumheight: 256
    minimumheight: 129
    inclination: 90
