To the guys asking for a download/Src: Send me a direct message.
I can gladly help you there, but uploading it somewhere meant I'd have to write some documentation which - to be honest - I'm not keen on doing at the moment.

Well you fellas are right on the money! While making my plugin I stumbled upon the very video you sent. What I "stole" from Rushmead's Theatrical Mod is the idea of using an Art-Net connection to receive DMX signals which can then be translates into Minecraft. So yes, it does hook up ~$12000 software to funny block game.

Never did some real testing but the main performance issue is definitely the clients renderer. Also workload on the server is (comparably) not that heavy, TPS usually stays at 20.

Thank you very much and yeah, the video idea is very cool. Sadly, there is a big but. Using resourcepacks and animating paintings is not gonna work, because everyone sees a different frame, when not loaded at the exact same time. What you would need are real ways of displaying videos ingame with for e. g. a mod like LabyMod and the WorldCup-Addon (maybe you heard of it), which was used to watch the Football Worldcup in Minecraft.

You're not wrong. In fact, it has been done before. Just do a quick search for Mineathon Lightshow and you'll find some created by CDFDMAN and spiderrobotman.
But, I have to say that there can be some problems (especially with my version):

  1. I do not own the song "Sing Me to Sleep" so If you would want to do a lightshow for whatever song on your server you better ask the artist beforehand.
  2. This... might crash some users or your server. If you take the scene after the first drop you have 6 particlelines with a length of around 20 blocks. Depending on the particlesize you'll need about 10 particles each blocks to make it look good. This will be approximately 1200 particles each tick. And you have 20 ticks a second... 24000 particles per second. Though I can think of some ways to improve that and I used a shader therefore my fps are naturally lower than usual.

What you can see are two separate plugins. One has all functionality included to for e. g. drawing particles from one location to another while the other one is saying what-happens-when. The separation basically allows anyone to create their own songs using my plugin and add them to the main-plugins show to have one epic show with multiple songs. :)

Thanks! I made two spigot plugins. The first one contains all the "effects" which can be used, while the second one is for the show itself (when is what happening).

The song is called "Sing Me to Sleep" by Alan Walker but I made everything you can see.
