Turn any image
into a block blueprint
Minecraft Pixel Art turns your image into a Minecraft block blueprint: live preview, layer-by-layer build steps, .NBT export (Litematica), and a QR-based mobile viewer. Great for Pixel Art Minecraft murals, map art, and survival builds.

FAQ
Common questions about Minecraft Pixel Art.
+What does 1s mean in the Shopping List?
In the Shopping List, s means stack. In Minecraft, 1 stack = 64 blocks. Example: 1s + 12 = 64 + 12 = 76 blocks.
+Is there a character limit for /editor?data=...?
Yes. The blueprint is stored directly in the URL, so there is a practical length limit. The editor currently limits QR sharing links to about 4000 characters to keep them reliable. There is no fixed 64-block rule, but larger artworks (more blocks) produce longer URLs and may exceed the limit. In that case, you can reduce the width, keep building in the editor, or export a .NBT file. A future update can add sharing options for large projects (for example, file-based or cloud sharing).
+How does the mobile Viewer Mode work?
The editor can generate a share link + QR code. Open it on your phone to view the blueprint in Viewer Mode while building.
+Can I manually add or fix blocks after generating a blueprint?
Yes. Generate your blueprint in Blueprint mode first, then click the Draw tab in the editor header to switch modes and manually paint, pick, or erase blocks for final touch-ups.
+What is the .NBT export for?
It exports a structure file you can use with Litematica (or structure tools) to speed up building in-game.
+What's the difference between Map Art Mode and normal mode?
Normal mode targets block texture colors; Map Art Mode targets map colors (useful for in-map pixel art).
Start with Blueprint first
The main workflow starts from Blueprint mode. Jump back to the Hero upload entry to generate a block blueprint from an image, then use Draw Mode later for manual edits if needed.
