by byzhrichard
byzh-picgen lets players draw pictures using Minecraft blocks and export a chosen area as a PNG file to their computer.
What it does
Players build a picture on the world by placing blocks in a grid, then select an area and save the result as a PNG image on the computer. Only blocks from byzh-picgen are used for the picture, and other blocks that appear in the selection are shown with transparent pixels. The mod runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1 and is open source under the MIT License, with its source code published publicly. Both the client and the server need it, and the latest file is 1.5.0 for 1.20.1, released 2024-05-13.
Key features
Pixel art from blocks

A selected area of the drawing can be exported as a PNG file saved to the player's computer.
Block-limited palette
The picture uses only byzh-picgen blocks, which keeps the colors consistent across a build.
