Yes, our Color Text Converter allows you to create colored text for Minecraft. You can select different color codes and formatting options (bold, italic, strikethrough) to customize your text.

To look up a skin, simply enter the player's username into the search field on the Skin Lookup page. The tool then searches the Minecraft database for the skin, UUID, and any available capes.

The Items Database lists every Minecraft item by category (building materials, tools, food, redstone, and more) with an image, ID, properties, and description. Use the search or category filters to quickly find the item you're looking for.

The Mobs Database lists every Minecraft creature with health points, behavior, spawn conditions, and drops – sorted into categories like Passive, Neutral, Hostile, and Boss mobs.

Enter a Minecraft server's address and the tool shows you in real time whether the server is online, how many players are currently active, the current version, and more.

This page checks the live status of the most important official Mojang/Microsoft services (e.g. login server, session server, Minecraft.net) and instantly shows you whether there are any current issues or outages.

With the Skin Editor you can load an existing skin or start a new template and edit it pixel by pixel directly in your browser with a 3D preview – no extra software needed.

This tool visually simulates Minecraft's day-night cycle, so you can see, for example, when monsters can spawn or how long an in-game day takes in real time.

Here you can find the famous "End Poem" – the text that appears in the credits after defeating the Ender Dragon – to read at your own pace.

The Cape Gallery shows you every known Minecraft cape – from official Mojang capes to event capes and special community capes – including an image and its origin.

This page lists every Minecraft version from the earliest Alpha builds to the current release, including release date and version type (Release, Snapshot, Beta).

The Skin Gallery contains a collection of well-known and popular Minecraft skins to browse and use as inspiration for your own skin.

The Beacon Color Mixer calculates which combination of stained glass you need to stack above a beacon to get exactly the light color you want.

Enter any text or link (e.g. your server IP) and the tool instantly generates a QR code you can download – handy for quickly sharing with friends.

With the Advancement Generator you can design your own custom Minecraft advancement toast notifications and download them as an image – e.g. for videos or thumbnails.

The Sign Generator lets you write on Minecraft signs and hanging signs of every wood type – with colours, formatting, glowing text and click commands. The preview shows the sign as in the game; at the end you download it as a PNG or copy the ready-made /setblock, /give or /data command (Java Edition 1.20 and later).

The Crafting Recipes page lists every recipe in Minecraft Java Edition – crafting table, furnace, blast furnace, smoker, campfire, stonecutter, smithing table and brewing stand. You can search for items, see what an item is used for as an ingredient and copy the /recipe command to unlock it.

In the Armor Trim Generator you pick the armor, one of the 18 trim patterns and one of the 11 materials for the helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots. A 3D preview shows the result on the player, and you get /give commands, an armor stand command and every place to find the smithing templates with its chance.

In the Firework Generator you pick the flight duration and put together as many firework stars as you like – with shape, colours, fade colours, trail and twinkle. The preview shows the firework the way Minecraft calculates it. You also get step-by-step crafting instructions and /give and /summon commands for the new and the old command format.

In the Tellraw & Title Generator you put your message together from several parts – each with its own colour, formatting, click action (command, link, copy) and tooltip. Player names, keys and scores work too. The preview shows the chat, title or action bar in Minecraft's font, and you get the finished /tellraw or /title command for 26.x and older versions.

In the Book Generator you enter a title and an author and write as many pages as you like with colours, formatting, links to other pages and click commands. The preview shows every page as in game. At the end you copy the /give command or put the book straight onto a lectern with /setblock – book commands are usually longer than 256 characters, so a command block works best.

In the Item Generator you pick an item or a block, give it a custom name and coloured lore with as many lines as you like and add enchantments at any level up to 255. It can also be made unbreakable, get a glint or another rarity. The preview shows the tooltip as in game, and at the end you copy the /give command – for 26.x and older versions.

In the Banner Generator you pick a base colour and stack up to 16 of the 42 patterns in any colours – with a 2D and 3D preview, also as a shield and a wall banner. You get /give commands for the banner and the shield, /setblock commands to place it and a guide to making it on a loom in survival (where at most 6 patterns are possible). The banner wall spells words with banners or builds mob faces like a Zombie or Creeper and any player’s head out of several banners.

From level 0 to 30 it takes 1,395 experience points. The XP Calculator works out any range with the formulas from the game code, shows the experience bar, converts points to levels and tells you how many ores, bottles or fish that is – plus ready /xp commands.

In the Bossbar Generator you type a name in colour, pick one of the 7 colours and 5 styles and set the fill. The preview shows the bar as in game, with every /bossbar command to create, change and remove it below – for 26.x and older versions.

The Hologram Generator builds the /summon command for a text display: multi-line coloured text with a background, size, orientation and optionally always bright. It also gives you commands to change the text later or remove the hologram. Text displays exist since Minecraft 1.19.4.

The Anvil Calculator tries every order in which the item and the enchanted books can be combined and takes the cheapest one where no step costs 40 levels or more (“Too Expensive!”). It uses the rules from the game code – anvil costs, half price for books and a prior work penalty that doubles after every step – and shows each step with its cost.

The Mining Time Calculator shows for each of the over 1,100 blocks how long it takes by hand or with a pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, sword or shears – with efficiency, haste, mining fatigue, under water and in the air. It uses the formula and block hardness straight from Minecraft 26.3 and also tells you whether the block drops anything with that tool. Obsidian with a diamond pickaxe takes 9.4 seconds, for example.

The Stack Calculator converts any amount into stacks, shulker boxes, chests, double chests and double chests full of shulkers – with every item's real stack size from Minecraft 26.3 (64, 16 or 1). For ingots, ores, redstone and the like it also shows how many storage blocks that is, and the build volume calculator tells you how many blocks a solid or hollow box needs. 50,000 stone blocks, for example, are 28 shulker boxes, 25 stacks and 16 blocks.

On the Biome Map you enter your seed – as a number or as text like in the world menu – and see every biome of the Overworld, Nether and End. The map uses Minecraft 26.3's biome generator and matches the game exactly at over 50,000 test points, the new Dappled Forests and Sulfur Caves included. It also shows 22 structures – villages, outposts, temples, ocean monuments, ancient cities, trial chambers, strongholds, nether fortresses, bastions, end cities and the new Abandoned Camp – checked against a real 26.3 server with /locate. You can look at cave layers, show slime chunks and copy the /tp command to any spot with one click. A click on the map shows coordinates, the cave biomes below, chunk and Nether coordinates, and you can drop your own pins. More on every biome and structure – mobs, loot, colors – is in the Biome Wiki.

The Biome Map shows every single ore vein for your seed – diamonds, emeralds, gold, iron, lapis, redstone, copper and in the Nether ancient debris, nether quartz and nether gold – each with coordinates and Y level. It works out the veins with the same rules as Minecraft 26.3; compared with a real server it hits practically every block of ancient debris, redstone and lapis and over 90% of diamonds. Dashed ore icons are estimates, for example emeralds, which depend on the exact mountain height. The Biome Wiki shows for every ore at which height it is most common – diamonds around Y −55, for example.

In the Spawner Generator you pick one or several mobs (with weights), set the pause, mobs per round, max. mobs nearby, player range and spawn spread, and can add a name, colour, weapon, rider and your own light rules. The page shows the spawn area from above and which rules the mob needs in Minecraft 26.3, e.g. block light 0 for zombies. You get /give and /setblock commands for 1.13 to 26.x – tested on real servers.

In the Texture Editor you pick one of 1,640 items or blocks and paint on the original texture from Minecraft 26.3 – with pencil, fill, line, replace colour, eyedropper, mirroring and recolouring. The 3D preview shows the block or item with your pixels right away. You download every changed texture as a ready resource pack for 1.8.9 to 26.x; the pictures stay in your browser.

In the Mob Editor you pick one of 90 mobs and paint on its original texture from Minecraft 26.3. The 3D preview shows the real Java model, rebuilt straight from the game code – with every variant such as cold/warm, baby, colours, professions and glowing eyes. You download the finished textures as a resource pack; mob textures work in normal Minecraft without mods.

The HUD Editor shows the hotbar, hearts, hunger, armor, air bubbles and XP bar just like in the game. One click on a colour recolours a set – for example all normal hearts – or the whole group at once, while outline and shine stay as they are. For details you keep painting pixel by pixel. All 74 sprites come from Minecraft 26.3, and the finished resource pack works from 1.8.9 to 26.x.

The Inventory Editor shows the inventory, chest, furnaces, crafting table, anvil, enchanting table and 16 more screens like in the game – with items in the slots. “Everything at once” recolours every screen in one colour while edges and shadows stay; details you paint pixel by pixel. All textures come from Minecraft 26.3, the resource pack works for 1.8.9 to 26.x.

In the Resource Pack Updater you upload a resource pack as a .zip – from any version from 1.8.9 to 26.3. The updater detects the version, you pick the new one, and it converts the pack: textures get the new file names (e.g. blocks/planks_oak → block/oak_planks), hearts, hotbar, buttons and screen parts are taken out of the old big pictures (icons.png, widgets.png) or put back into them, and the pack.mcmeta gets the right format. A report shows what was converted and what does not exist in the new version. Everything happens in your browser – your pack is never uploaded.

Since 1.21.6 the locator bar shows other players as coloured dots. Minecraft works the colour out from the player's UUID: the UUID's hash becomes a colour whose brightness is always set to 90 %. In the Locator Bar Color you enter a player name and see the colour exactly like in the game – for offline servers too, with a preview of the bar and friends to compare. With /waypoint modify @s color hex RRGGBB (without #) you give yourself a colour of your own; color reset brings the UUID colour back.

In the Server MOTD & Icon generator you write your server's description in parts with colour, bold, italic and other styles, on up to 2 lines, and see live how it looks in the server list – including what would be cut off. Copy the ready-made motd line into server.properties (with \u00A7 codes so it works in every version). For the server icon you upload a picture or use a player head; the generator turns it into server-icon.png at exactly 64×64 pixels, which goes into the server folder next to server.properties.

In the Circle & Sphere Generator you pick a circle, ellipse, sphere, dome, cylinder, cone, ellipsoid or ring, enter the size in blocks and choose solid or hollow – with an adjustable wall thickness. The layer view shows every layer from above to build it, with centre lines and coordinates from the centre; the 3D preview shows the whole shape. You also get the block count in stacks and shulker boxes and can download the shape as .schem (WorldEdit), .litematic (Litematica), .nbt (structure block) or .schematic (up to 1.12) – from all 709 blocks of the Map Art list plus glass.

In the Gamerule Generator you pick your Minecraft version from 1.8 to 26.3 and see every game rule of that version with an explanation, default value and allowed values – for example keepInventory (keep your items after death) or doDaylightCycle (time of day). Switch the rules and copy the ready-made /gamerule commands into chat or download them as a ready-made data pack (.zip) for the “datapacks” folder of your world – from 26.1 also straight as the game_rules.dat file. Since 1.21.11 every rule has a new name (e.g. keep_inventory) – the generator writes the right names for your version automatically. Changing them needs operator rights or a world with cheats.

In the Chest Generator you pick a chest, large chest, trapped chest, barrel, shulker box (in any colour), hopper, dispenser or dropper, click a slot in the rebuilt game screen and choose one of 1639 items – as a full stack or your own amount. You get the ready-made /setblock command that places the filled container (two commands for a large chest) and the /give command that gives you the container with its contents as an item. Optionally with a custom name, in the formats for 1.21.5 to 26.3, 1.20.5 to 1.21.4 and 1.13 to 1.20.4. Commands over 256 characters go into a command block.

In the Armor Stand Generator you turn the head, body, both arms and both legs with sliders (in degrees, like in the command) or pick one of 12 presets such as wave, walk, sit or dab – the 3D preview uses the real model from the game code. Give it armor (leather in any colour too), items in both hands and options such as arms, no base plate, small, invisible, floating or locked. The generator writes the /summon command that places the stand exactly like that, and a /give command for an armor stand that is already posed when you place it – for 1.21.5 to 26.3, 1.20.5 to 1.21.4 and 1.13 to 1.20.4.

In the Statue Generator you enter one or more player names, pick the posture (standing, crouching, swimming, flying, sleeping), facing, head tilt and which skin layers show, and download everything as a data pack. Put the .zip into the datapacks folder of your world, type /reload and stand where you want it – /function statues:<name> places the statue there and /function statues:kill removes the closest one. The statue is a mannequin (from 1.21.9): Minecraft loads the real skin by itself from the name, no upload and no resource pack.

In the Painting Generator you upload a picture, pick a size from 1×1 to 16×16 blocks and type a title and author. You get one pack that is a data pack and a resource pack at once: put it into your world's data pack folder and into the resource pack folder, then join the world again – /reload does not load new paintings. The /give command gets you the painting – without any mods, from Minecraft 1.21. Tested on real servers from 1.21.1 to 26.3. For older versions from 1.8.9 on pick “Replace a painting”: your picture then replaces an existing painting – resource pack only.

In the Display Generator you pick a block, an item or text and set offset, rotation and size with sliders – the 3D preview shows the real block model. Plus camera facing, glowing outline, brightness and shadow. The /summon command fits 1.19.4 to 26.3; in 26.3 the block state is written differently (id/properties instead of Name/Properties) – the generator picks the right format by itself. Everything checked on real servers.

Yes. On the 3D Print page you pick one of 1,640 blocks and items or one of 90 mobs and download it as a printable model: STL for any printer, a coloured 3MF for multi-colour printing (one object, every colour a part on its own filament – for Anycubic Slicer Next, Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer), one STL per colour or a coloured OBJ for Blender. Your own skin becomes a figure too (by player name, in 11 poses), and builds from .nbt, .schem and .litematic files or over 1,500 original structures become miniatures. Signs with your text, pictures as colour relief or lithophane, loops for key rings and pockets for magnets come on top. Every texture pixel becomes a small cube in its colour, and the model is always a closed shell. Size, number of colours, item thickness and a base can be set; everything runs in your browser.

In the Potion Generator you pick a potion, splash potion, lingering potion or tipped arrow, optionally a normal base potion, and add any effects with levels up to 255, a duration (even infinite) and your own colour. The preview shows the bottle and tooltip as in game, with the /give command for 26.x and older versions down to 1.13 below.

The Structure Converter converts builds between .schematic, .schem, .litematic and .nbt – right in your browser, your file is never uploaded.

In the Schematic Viewer you load a .schem, .schematic, .litematic or .nbt file and see the build in 3D with real Minecraft textures. The layer slider shows it layer by layer, hovering reveals every block, and the material list tells you what you need to rebuild it. The file stays on your device.

The Map Art Generator turns an image into Minecraft blocks or a real map.dat map – with staircasing, dithering, a contrast control, free map size, a material list as CSV or TXT and ZIP export.

The Nether Coordinate Calculator divides X and Z by 8 (Overworld → Nether) or multiplies them by 8 (Nether → Overworld). Height Y stays the same, and the other side updates right away.

The Command Generator builds /give, /summon, /effect, /teleport, /gamemode, /weather and /time as well as enchanted items with several enchantments. You pick items and mobs by category from the databases and copy the finished command with one click.

In the 3D Skin Poser you load a skin by upload or player name, put it into poses or loop animations and move single body parts freely. You can export it as a PNG, a 4-angle sheet or an animated GIF.

The Chibi Skin Maker automatically turns any skin into a chibi pixel-art figure in 9 poses and 4 camera angles – export as PNG, GIF, APNG or WebM, all in your browser.

The Heads Database collects more than 70 MHF heads and logo heads. Every head comes with a copyable /give command in three syntax variants for different Minecraft versions.

The Head Texture Generator puts textures of items, blocks, mobs, villagers or player skins on a player head. A 3D preview shows the head, and the matching /give command for Java 1.21.9 and later is built live.
