Scripts

JanTechPL is in possession of many scripts, some of which he created. His scripts will be overviewed here.

Online image paster

JTPL created https://image-to-owot.tiiny.site/, a website which converted images into the top half block symbol ("▀"), so that they can be pasted onto the canvas. This created an influx of image spam in late September/early October 2025, causing JTPL to shut it down on October 9th.

Other image pasters

JTPL created a handful of other image pasters, all of which are in HTML format.

Octant paster

JTPL created an octant-based paster, based off another script called Octant Direct, an userscript which pasted the images directly to the canvas and had K-means color quantization. JTPL's paster got rid of the quantization algorithm, since it bugged out the output. The paster includes a width slider, a Reconvert button and clipboard image support.

Pasters made for the color banned Mainpage

JTPL has made three pasters which could operate under The Great Color Ban of 2025/2026, gradually increasing color support as more colors were added. The first one, IPFWWC (Image Paster For Worlds Without Colors) uses full blocks and Medium Shade blocks (█ and ▒) for extra shades. It has sliders for the threshold of how much a specific "color" may appear and it does not support dithering. As of February 22, 2026, the script's colors are stuck on black, blue (with links) and green (with coordinate links).
This script will not be updated in favor of other scripts.

Another version of this script exists and is called IPWWSC (Image Paster for Worlds with Some Colors, the "for" was unintentionally ditched). It supports the color red.

The second one is called Image to Density which converted images into black-and-white shade blocks, such as the 4 most common shades (█, ▓, ▒ and ░) and some SLC blocks, including the Inverse Medium Shade character.
This script has been disclosed to one individual.

Example of an image paste with Image to Density. The left image is a failed attempt of adding ordered (Bayer) dithering.

The third one is called IPfWWSC v2 (notice that the "f" as "for" has been added) and upgraded from full and shade blocks to half blocks and half shade blocks (and mixes of the two). It is the version of the script that JTPL most works on, keeping up with the new colors that appear on the Mainpage. This paster in particular supports Floyd-Steinberg dithering.

Drama

JTPL was the target of a "fuck jtpl" spam in September of 2025. The PKK Spammer was presumably (one of) the perpetrators of this, and claimed that JTPL had griefed his art.

Impersonators would also write offensive content in his text color.

Around that time, JTPL was accused of being the alt of an older user named BernatJansaPascual.
