Frequently Asked Questions — MinecraftArt

MinecraftArt is an online generator that converts regular images into Minecraft‑style pixel art blueprints — mapping image colors to Minecraft blocks so you can build the design in‑game.

Upload an image, choose options such as grid size and block palette, then click Generate. Preview the result, tweak the palette or size if needed, and download the output (schematic, function file, or a manual build guide).

Common formats are supported (JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP). File size limits may apply — try keeping uploads under 10 MB for best performance.

Registration is not required to generate pixel art. The tool is provided free of charge; if paid tiers or limits exist they will be described on the site.

Large horizontal builds are supported, but remember Minecraft has build‑height limits depending on version. For very tall designs you may need to split the build into sections or use an "ignore height" option if available.

Generated files are typically compatible with Minecraft 1.9+ and common editors such as WorldEdit or MCEdit. Exports may include schematic (.schem), function (.mcfunction), or layer-by-layer guides.

Options usually include a full block palette, survival‑only palette (blocks obtainable without creative), and a custom palette where you pick which blocks are allowed. This helps match server rules and resource availability.

Processing is performed locally in your browser, so your image does not need to be uploaded to the server permanently. Check the site’s privacy policy for exact details.

Yes — the interface is mobile‑friendly and works across phones, tablets and desktop browsers. For very large images or exports, a desktop may provide better performance.

Download the provided schematic or function file and load it into your world using WorldEdit (or a similar tool). Alternatively, follow the layer‑by‑layer manual guide generated by the site. Breaking the project into chunks (for example, chunk‑sized sections) helps when building large pieces.

Minecraft has a limited block palette compared to digital images. To improve results: use simpler, high‑contrast images; increase grid/resolution (more blocks = more detail); or tweak the allowed block set to pick closer matches.

• Reduce the input file size (compress under ~10 MB).
• Try a different browser or update your current browser to the latest version.
• Use a desktop for large exports if mobile fails.
• Contact site support if problems persist.

Yes. For large builds, use a high resolution grid, export schematics for fast deployment, check block availability for your server’s Minecraft version, and plan resources (block counts help). Splitting the build into sections often speeds construction.

Do not upload images you don’t have rights to. Respect Minecraft’s EULA and the rules of any server where you deploy builds. Attribution or sharing rules may vary — consult the site’s terms of use if in doubt.

You can share exported files (schematics, functions) or share a block‑count and build guide. Including instructions on how to load the file (e.g., WorldEdit commands) is helpful for recipients.
