Minecraft Pixel Art Generator with Block Count

Plan Minecraft pixel art before gathering materials

A large image can look simple on screen but require thousands of blocks in Minecraft. The block count view turns the converted design into a practical material list, so you know how much concrete, wool, terracotta, or other blocks to collect before building.

This is especially useful in survival mode. You can test a smaller grid, compare palettes, and reduce expensive materials before spending time gathering them.

How to generate a block count from an image

1. Upload a PNG or JPG. Choose a logo, photo, character, or existing pixel art image.
2. Set the grid size. Adjust width and height until the preview fits your available building space.
3. Choose a block palette. Use all blocks, survival-friendly blocks, or a custom selection.
4. Review and edit. Clean up individual pixels and simplify colors in the live editor.
5. Open the material list. See how many of each Minecraft block the finished design needs.

Block count, commands, or schematic?

Use the material list when you want to build by hand. It acts as a shopping list and helps divide work between players. For faster placement in Minecraft Java Edition, export command output or a WorldEdit schematic.

• Block count and material list: best for survival builds and manual placement.
• Commands or .mcfunction: useful for quick placement and command-based workflows.
• WorldEdit schematic: practical for large builds, repeated placement, and server projects.

Common block count questions

Can I choose which blocks are included? Yes. A custom palette lets you limit the conversion to blocks you already have or prefer to use.

Does changing the image size change the material list? Yes. Every grid cell represents a Minecraft block, so increasing width or height increases the total block count.

Can I use the result for a wall mural? Yes. Read the Minecraft mural generator guide for sizing ideas and large wall workflows.
