Turn an Image into a Minecraft Schematic
Convert an image into a block-based Minecraft structure, choose its size and thickness,
preview the build, and download a real Sponge .schem file.
Schematic settings
Build a Minecraft structure from your image.
The image becomes the front face of the generated structure.
Height follows your source image's aspect ratio.
Use 1 for ordinary pixel-art walls or more for a solid structure.
Colors are matched to the nearest block in the selected palette.
Light dithering is a useful starting point for photographs.
Current block names used by this generator are compatible with these target versions.

What is a Minecraft schematic?
A Minecraft schematic stores a region of a Minecraft world as a standalone structure that can be moved, pasted, or imported by compatible tools. The Sponge Schematic specification is designed for serializing world regions and supports block states and other world data.
This generator creates a 2D image-based structure. Each image pixel becomes a Minecraft block, and the selected depth determines how many blocks the artwork is extruded along the Z axis.
The generated file uses the Sponge .schem format. Sponge schematics are stored
as NBT and gzip-compressed; the format specification uses a palette of block states plus compressed
block data.
How to generate a Minecraft schematic from an image
