What mc-api Map Art Converter is

mc-api Map Art Converter turns an image into either a Minecraft map file or a block plan for building the picture in-game. Its web tool accepts PNG, JPEG, and WebP files up to 8 MB. Map-file output keeps transparency and uses four shades across 244 colours. For construction, the block plan indicates where blocks go and provides a materials list; flat plans reach 61 colours and staircase plans reach 183. Users can choose Floyd–Steinberg dithering or no dithering, but palette control is fixed. The API accepts raw image bytes and can return a .dat map file, PNG preview, or JSON block plan. A conversion returns one map file, or a ZIP when the grid exceeds one map. To display the image in a world, users put downloaded map_<n>.dat files in that world’s data folder. The service is free of charge, with one API credit used per conversion. The provider says availability, response times, and data retention are not guaranteed, and states that the service is not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft.
