The record

Purpose: ImageToMapMC converts images into Minecraft maps for importing into the game without mods.
Desktop app: The project describes ImageToMapMC as a C++ desktop application for Windows and Linux.
Image preview: The interface displays the original image alongside a preview of how the map will look in game.
Image editing: The guide describes resizing images and adjusting background color, saturation, brightness, contrast, and transparency tolerance.
Build methods: Available build methods are None, Staircased, 3D (Complex), and Flat, with the latter methods providing different proportions of available colors.
Material customization: Users can enable or disable materials and change which materials are used for each color.
Map export: The tool exports .dat map files, and images larger than one 128×128-pixel map are split across multiple maps.
Structure export: The guide describes exporting a map as structures for loading into a Minecraft creative world and copying into a survival world.
Minecraft versions: Users choose the Minecraft version so the application can adjust available blocks and exported file format.
Transparency limit: The guide says partially transparent maps cannot be built as structures or schematics; transparency is intended for exported .dat map files.
Import workflow: Exported map files can be copied into a world's data/maps folder, with a legacy data-folder path for Minecraft versions older than 26.1.
Source build: The repository says users can compile the source and lists CMake, ZLIB, wxWidgets, and libzip among the build requirements.
License: The software is distributed under the MIT License, which grants permission to use, copy, modify, distribute, sublicense, and sell copies subject to its stated conditions.
Support and documentation: The repository provides a basic guide and separate guides for exporting map files and structures.
