Convert any image or 3d model to Minecraft blocks!

BlockBlender is an addon made specifically for Blender that turns anything into Minecraft blocks in real time using geometry nodes. It is great for Minecraft building inspiration, and generating gradients. It's easy enough for beginners, as long as you know the basics of how to navigate Blender. Customizing options are listed in a section below.

The schematic exporter is now included!

There is a known bug with he 1.5 schem exporter. Hopefully we will have a solution soon. Until then, it should work if you use 1.41 blockblender and exporter with blender 3.6

This exporter allows you to import builds directly into Minecraft!

This .schem exporter is a thrid-party addon made by Bryan Valdez. Please refer to the directions on this page for help with the exporter.

Texture baking

For texture baking, I recommend this free addon called BakeLab by Specoolar. I am not affiliated with the creator, it's just an addon I've used that works well for me. BakeLab
