PixelArt
With PixelArt, a player can turn a PNG, JPG or other image into a build of blocks, sized from a few blocks up to very large walls.
What it does
PixelArt builds pixel art out of Minecraft blocks. The image can be loaded from a direct URL to a file in PNG, JPG and similar formats. The height of the finished build is set in blocks, with a maximum of 100, and the picture can be laid out vertically, which is the default, or horizontally.
The mod suits decoration in survival worlds, creative builds and multiplayer servers. Since the image is converted from a link, a player can place a logo or artwork without drawing it block by block. The mod is published for Fabric only, for the two game versions 1.20.6 and 1.21.11, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Image to block art
Each pixel of the source image becomes a block, producing a Minecraft version of the picture.
Load images from a URL
The image is read from a direct link to a PNG, JPG or similar file, so no local file upload is needed.
Height limit of 100 blocks
The finished build can reach at most 100 blocks in height, which sets the scale of the picture.
Vertical or horizontal layout
The picture can stand upright, the default, or lie flat, to suit walls, floors and ceilings.

Use cases
Wall murals

Floor artwork
The horizontal layout places the image on a floor or roof where it can be seen from above.
Who it’s for: The mod suits builders who want to decorate a base or a server spawn with an image. It is most useful for players who already know which picture they want and the block height they need.
