How to use
Build from the generated plan, not from guesswork.
- 1. Choose 3 to 7 blocks, a build style, a starting block, and optional material filters.
- 2. Review the wall, floor, or tower texture-mix preview before committing to the palette.
- 3. Lock useful suggestions or directly choose a different block for any role.
- 4. Download a PNG palette card or export the IDs and suggested material mix.
Output guide
Use each output for a different building job.
Role-based palette separates primary, secondary, accent, foundation, trim, texture, and highlight blocks.
Real-texture wall, floor, and tower previews expose visual noise before you build.
PNG, TXT, CSV, Minecraft block IDs, local saving, and share links preserve the generated plan.

FAQ
Minecraft Block Palette Generator FAQ
What is a Minecraft block palette?
It is a planned set of blocks that work together for walls, trim, roofs, floors, and accent details.
How many blocks should a palette use?
Small builds often need 3 to 5 roles, while larger detailed builds can use 6 or 7. Start smaller and add texture or highlight blocks only when they have a clear job.
What is the difference between primary and accent blocks?
Primary blocks cover large surfaces. Accent blocks are used for small highlights, borders, or focal points.
How is this different from the gradient generator?
A palette is a grouped set of compatible blocks. A gradient is an ordered sequence from one block or color to another.
Can I save or share the generated block palette?
Yes. The tool saves settings in your browser, creates a share link that restores the selected blocks, and exports PNG, TXT, CSV, or Minecraft block IDs.
