Make Minecraft
pixel art your way
Minecraft Pixel Art is the entry point for choosing the right workflow before you build. Start with the Blueprint guide when a project begins from an image, use the Draw guide for blank-canvas work, and use the supporting tools, tutorials, and exports once you know which path fits the build.
Use the guide first if you are coming from search. Open the editor directly only when you already know the workflow. The standalone isometric voxel art overview explains the non-Minecraft island scene tool.

Choose your path
A quick look at the main workflows and support tools inside the site.
Step 01
Blueprint mode
Best when you already have an image and want a block-by-block build plan quickly.
Step 02
Draw mode
Best when you want to sketch, edit, or design from a blank canvas using Minecraft blocks directly.
Step 03
Planning tools
Browse textures, compare materials, and shape palettes before you commit to a full build.
Step 04
Guides and examples
Use tutorials, comparisons, and workflow notes to choose the right path for the project.
Tip
If the project starts from an image, use the dedicated Blueprint page as the explainer and decision point before opening the live tool.

Features
Minecraft Pixel Art combines workflows, support tools, and build guidance.
Blueprint Workflow
Understand when to start from the Blueprint guide, what the workflow outputs, and when to move into the live tool.
Draw From Scratch
Open a blank canvas and paint custom block art manually when you need full creative control.
Build Planning
Use shopping lists, block counts, palette filters, and survival-friendly settings before you start building.
Texture + Palette Tools
Browse textures, inspect block states, and curate practical material sets for cleaner palette decisions.
Guides + Comparisons
Use tutorials and workflow pages to understand when to choose Blueprint, Draw, map-art settings, and exports.
Share + Export
Send plans to a phone with QR viewing or export project outputs when your build is ready to leave the browser.
How-to
A Minecraft Pixel Art workflow from image upload to in-game building.
1
Choose the right workflow
Start with Blueprint mode if you already have an image, or Draw mode if you want a blank canvas.
2
Plan the palette
Use palette filters, texture browsing, and collections to narrow block choices before committing to a build.
3
Build or refine
Open the editor that fits the project, then refine details with layers, preview controls, and practical build checks.
4
Gather and verify materials
Use block counts, shopping lists, and workflow notes so the in-game build is practical to execute.
5
Export or share the result
Export build outputs or send the plan to a phone with QR sharing once the project is ready to use in-game.
Quick start
Start from an image?
Read the Blueprint guide first, then open the live tool once you know the workflow and outputs you need.
Need to draw from scratch?
Open Draw mode when you want a blank canvas, manual block placement, and iterative editing.
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).
Pick the right guide before opening the editor
Keep the homepage as the workflow router: use the Blueprint guide when the design already exists as an image, or use the Draw guide when you want to sketch and refine everything manually. Open the editor after you choose the right path.
