PixelStacker
What it is
PixelStacker turns an image into multilayer Minecraft pixel art by matching image pixels to combinations of accepted in-game materials. It stacks stained glass over other blocks to provide more blending and color options, while double layer mode pairs stained glass panels with newer Minecraft blocks to expand the palette. The program offers viewing options for building the result in-game and can save PNG or Schematic files. Listed export formats also include schem, NBT, schem3, and a materials list. The project provides a web demo and API, as well as downloadable desktop releases from its GitHub repository. Its listed platforms are web, Windows, and API. The maker says the program can handle 8k images depending on the computer's specifications. Taylor Love is identified as the author and developer, and describes PixelStacker as a proof of concept for creating pixel art to build in-game. It is free and open source, with no paid plans or usage limits stated. The project links to Discord and invites users to share build pictures and project links for possible showcase.
