For users who do not want to purchase the TamperMonkey App from the App Store, which is a paid app unlike other browser platforms, the Userscripts app seems to be a free alternative as a userscript manager.
However, the supported GM API by Userscripts is much smaller than what TamperMonkey supports, especially for old synchronous APIs that Blue Marble uses that have been dropped by Greasemonkey in Greasemonkey 4.0+ that has to be replaced by alternatives:
- GM_addStyle → GM.addStyle
- GM_getValue → GM.getValue
- GM_getResourceText → Replaced (GM.getResourceText does not exist)

Click here to visit the official Blue Marble website.Welcome to Blue Marble! Blue Marble is a userscript for the website wplace.live. The purpose of Blue Marble is to allow you to take an image, and layer it onto the canvas! That way, you can easily trace the image of your art, without having to look back and forth between multiple tabs/monitors. In addition, Blue Marble supports some neat extra features such as:
- Displaying the number of pixels you need to level up
- Displaying a simple coordinate system (tile coordinats & pixel coordinates)
- Allowing you to move the color palette to the top of the screen when placing pixels
- Allowing you to use the eyedropper on the template image, provided the colors are correct
- ...and more!

Blue Marble will display your template as the same size. If your image is 500 pixels tall and 300 pixels wide, the template will be 500 pixels tall and 300 pixels wide. Here is the instructions to display a template image on the canvas:
- Find the pixel of the top left corner. Fill in
Tl X,Tl Y,Px X, andPx Ywith the coordinates. You can use the "Pin" icon to auto-fill the coordinates after clicking the pixel.

- Upload a PNG or WEBP image.
- Click the "Create" button.
- If your template still does not show, try clicking the "Enable" button.
There are many settings available for the Blue Marble userscript! Through these settings, you can control how the script behaves.
Templates for Blue Marble work slightly different from normal. Since there is a "Transparent" color, and transparent pixels in templates are typically ignored, your template should have a custom color to signify "Transparent" colored pixels.
- If you want a specific pixel to be any color, it should be transparent in your template.
- If you want a specific pixel to be the "Transparent" color on the Wplace palette, it should have the
#defacehex color.
The coordinate system for wplace.live is unique. Instead of all pixels having a global coordinate number (x, y), the coordinate number is relative to the tile. This means you need to know the tile number and the coordinate number to do anything. In Blue Marble, the tile coordinates and the pixel coordinates are displayed when you click on a pixel. These are the coordinates you should use for aligning a template.
The template is aligned from the top left corner of the template. You can auto-fill this position using the "pin" (also called "waypoint") icon next to the coordinate input boxes.
The versioning system for this userscript follows the Semantic Versioning rules. As such, it is formatted in an X.Y.Z format where:
- X is the major version. This is incremented when a non-backward compatible update is pushed. This is for new features that break previous versions of the userscript. Additionally, if wplace.live breaks the userscript, this will be incremented.
- Y is the minor version. This is incremented whenever I push to GitHub. This is for stable bug-fixes and new (non-breaking) features.
- Z is the patch version. This is incremented whenever I launch a development version of the userscript to test a patch. This is for unstable bug-fixes/features.

A: Blue Marble does not contain malicious code. The Blue Marble code can be found in the src/ folder. If you worry about Blue Marble being malware, you can read the code, then bundle it yourself using the tools in build/.
A: Unfortunately, Blue Marble will not support the automatic placement of pixels without user interaction because it is not allowed by Wplace.
A: Turn the userscript off and refresh the page.
A: Find the color in the color filter list. Click the checkbox to turn the color on or off. If you want to work on only one color at a time (recommended), then click "Disable All" in the color filter. Finally, enable the checkbox next to the color you want to place. This way, only one color on your template will appear at a time.
A: Use the eyedropper in the palette menu of wplace. If your template colors match the wplace palette, you can select the template pixel dot to get the template's color for that pixel.
A: Game notifications only appear when they need immediate attention. Therefore, they have priority over the overlay (which typically needs no attention).
