Minecraft Block Palettes for Pixel Art

What is a block palette?

A block palette is the set of blocks you allow when building pixel art. The palette decides the colors available to match your image — a wider, more vivid palette captures detail; a tighter palette gives a cohesive, stylized look.

Common palettes and when to use them

Each block family has a different feel:

• Concrete — 16 vibrant flat colors; the all-round best for pixel art
• Wool — similar range, slightly softer; flammable in survival
• Terracotta & glazed — muted earth tones and patterns for backgrounds
• Map colors — used for map art so the in-game map renders accurately

Build with any palette

In our generator you can toggle whole block categories on or off and even auto-pick the palette that best matches your image, then export the result. Pick concrete for posters and characters, or map colors for map art.
