Decorate your world with any image from the web!

PicAxe is the ultimate decoration mod that gives you the power to bring any image from the internet directly into your Minecraft world. Personalize your base like never before by applying custom textures to beds, banners, shields, and a variety of new, versatile blocks. Make your world uniquely yours!


Features

  • The PicAxe Tool: A special tool used to copy and paste image URLs. Sneak + Right-Click in the air to open a simple UI and store your link.
  • Image Beds: Convert any vanilla bed into a canvas! Apply your image and cycle through different styles, from a full drape to a simple sheet pattern.
  • Image Banners & Shields: Turn a banner into a high-definition picture that waves in the wind. Combine it with a shield in a crafting grid to take your art into battle!
  • 6-Sided Image Block: A creative block that can have a different, unique image applied to each of its six faces. Perfect for detailed displays and hidden art.
  • Resizable Image Frame: A dynamic frame block that can be resized from 1x1 up to 6x6. Configure it to either stretch the image to fit or keep its original aspect ratio.
  • Simple to Use: A single, unified system controls everything. Just Right-Click with the PicAxe to apply images and configure your blocks.

How to Use

  1. Copy an Image URL: Find an image on the web and copy its URL. (Pro-tip: Use URLs that end in .png or .jpg for best results!)
  2. Store the URL: Hold your PicAxe and Sneak + Right-Click in the air to open the URL input screen. Paste your link and click "Confirm".
  3. Apply the Image:
    • Right-click on any vanilla Bed, Banner, or one of the new blocks (Image Frame, 6-Sided Block) to apply the stored image. This will convert the vanilla block into its "Image" version.
  4. Configure Blocks:
    • Image Beds: Right-click an Image Bed again with the same URL on your PicAxe to cycle through its different rendering styles.
    • 6-Sided Block: To apply an image to a specific face, simply right-click on that face with the PicAxe.
    • Image Frame: After applying an image, right-click the frame again to open its config screen where you can set its size (Width/Height) and toggle the stretch mode.
