What Minecraft Map Art Generator is

Minecraft Map Art Generator is a free browser-based tool that turns PNG, JPG, GIF, or WebP images into Minecraft map art. It uses the colours available to map items and offers flat or staircase shading. Each generated map covers 128 × 128 blocks, and the site describes projects of up to 4 × 4 maps. Settings include map dimensions, image fit, build mode, dithering, brightness, contrast, and colour groups. Exports include a preview PNG, block-list CSV, and height-map TXT file. The tool lists block counts and stacks; one map uses 16,384 surface blocks. Staircase mode uses height-based shading to provide three usable shades per colour and exports relative column heights. The palette and staircase shading support Java and Bedrock editions. Maps use a fixed palette of about 60 base colours with shades, so source images are simplified. Processing runs in the browser: the device reads uploaded images, which are not sent to servers or stored. The site states there are no accounts, watermarks, or usage limits, and the project is unaffiliated with Mojang or Microsoft.
