What makes this generator different

Epic

Latest 26.2 blocks

The block palette is versioned from 1.13 to 26.2 — most converters stopped updating around 1.16 and never suggest cherry wood, resin or the new 26.2 sulfur family.

Rare

Perceptual color matching

Pixels are matched in the OKLab color space, which models how human eyes actually see color. Typical converters compare raw RGB numbers and pick visibly wrong blocks in dark and skin-tone areas.

Uncommon

Three dithering modes

Floyd–Steinberg for smooth photo gradients, ordered for a retro patterned look, or none for clean flat-color logos. Switch live and compare.

Common

Material list with block count

Every conversion lists each block type with its exact count, pre-divided into stacks of 64 — gather everything in one trip before you build.

Rare

.schem & .litematic export

Go straight from image to in-game build: paste with WorldEdit or place over Litematica ghost blocks. No PNG-only dead end.

Uncommon

Survival-friendly palettes

One toggle limits the plan to blocks you can farm or mine, and another excludes falling blocks like sand — so the plan works on a real survival server.

Built to get you in game, not just to a download

Most Minecraft pixel art generators stop at a picture of blocks. This one is built around what happens next: the material list tells you exactly how many stacks of each block to farm, the survival filter keeps unobtainable blocks out of the plan, and the schematic export turns the whole design into something WorldEdit can paste or Litematica can guide you through block by block.

Playing Bedrock? Switch the edition toggle and the palette drops Java-only blocks, so the PNG and block list you build from are actually placeable in your world. And because the palette is data-driven, new game versions are supported days after release — pick “26.2” today and the plan uses 26.2 blocks, not a 2020-era palette.

FAQ

How do I turn a photo into Minecraft pixel art?
Upload the photo above, choose a width in blocks (128 is a good start), and the generator maps every pixel to the closest matching Minecraft block. You get a preview, a downloadable PNG and a material list.
Does it support the newest 26.2 blocks?
Yes. The block palette is versioned — pick your game version and only blocks that exist in that version are used. That includes 26.2 additions like sulfur, cinnabar and resin.
Can I export a schematic for WorldEdit or Litematica?
Yes — download the result as .schem (WorldEdit) or .litematic (Litematica) and paste it straight into your world. See the schematic converter for import instructions.
What image formats can I upload?
Anything your browser can decode: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF (first frame), BMP and more. There is no file size limit — large photos are downscaled to your chosen block width before matching.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The entire conversion runs in your browser using a local Web Worker — the image never leaves your device, which also means the tool keeps working offline.
Does it work in survival mode?
Yes — keep the survival-obtainable filter on and the plan only uses blocks you can farm or mine. The material list counts every block in stacks of 64 so you can gather before building.
