MC Toolkit / Building
Building
Plan a build before you place a single block, and turn images, colour palettes and blueprints into something you can follow in game.
Schematic 3D Viewer
Open any schematic in 3D in your browser. Sponge, MCEdit, Litematica, structure block and Bedrock files, with a layer view, block-by-block build and material list.
Papercraft Generator
Turn any Minecraft skin into a printable papercraft template with fold lines and glue flaps. Runs in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Build Shape Generators
Plan a sphere, cone, arch, roof or staircase block by block: layer-by-layer blueprints, exact block counts and a WorldEdit .schem export, all in your browser.
Armor Trim Generator
Preview every armor trim pattern and material combination, and get the ready /give command.
Custom Enchantment & Trim Builder
Build data-driven enchantment JSON with effect components, and armor trim pattern/material JSON — for 1.21+ datapacks.
Custom Model & Item Component Tools
Build custom_model_data JSON for retextured items, and a model predicate file for the base item override.
Firework & Elytra Flight Planner
Design firework rockets with real crafting math, and plan Elytra flight range with rocket boosts.
Map Art Extractor
Turn a Minecraft map.dat file into a PNG image — read directly in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Map Art Studio
Turn any image into Minecraft map art — matches the closest vanilla block color per pixel.
Minecraft Visual & Design Tools
Design banners, browse paintings and music discs, generate fonts, and translate to the enchanting alphabet.
Pixel Art & Block Palette
Turn an image into a block mosaic with a ready .mcfunction, and find the vanilla blocks closest to any colour. Matched in CIELAB against the real textures.
Material Calculator
Import a .litematic, .schem or structure file and get every block it needs, expanded into raw materials with real crafting yields, and track what you have gathered.
Schematic Converter
Convert a build between .litematic, .schem, Java structure .nbt and Bedrock .mcstructure — in this tab, with a layer preview and the material list.

Trail Ruins gives four of the eighteen. Tide is the only pattern that is not loot. And duplicating a template is a crafting table, not a smithing one — with two exceptions.
A map pixel is one byte, and two of its bits are brightness
61 base colours × 4 shades = 244 colours from a 16,384-byte array. Only one of the four shades is the block's real colour; the other three are darkened to 86%, 71% and 53%.
Only the head is a cube — every other papercraft part is three different rectangles
Six parts, 36 faces, 1,632 square skin-pixels of paper. The head's six faces are identical; the body's come in three sizes; the arms and legs in two. That decides how each net folds.
Painting sizes: 34 of the 51 are square, and only 5 are taller than they are wide
51 paintings across 9 sizes, needing 321 blocks of wall to hang them all. A 1-wide, 2-tall gap fits exactly three of them — and five paintings credit no artist at all.
The extension does not tell you the schematic format — 31 of 33 .schematic files were something else's guess
Five formats, four different ways of packing blocks, and .schematic is shared by two of them. Sniffing the NBT root beats trusting the filename, with counted evidence.
Three gunpowder is not three times one gunpowder — it is 1.67×
A rocket's boost is 10 × (2 + flight duration) ticks, and that free +2 is why tripling the gunpowder only adds two thirds more distance. The full table, in blocks.
