Each texture is tied to its item, packed into a resource pack, and your server sends that pack to players when they join. Nothing for them to install by hand. Type what the item should look like and the AI paints it as real Minecraft pixel art, at the same 16x16 size the game itself uses. The texture ships inside your plugin as a resource pack, so a custom sword actually looks custom in the hands of your players. This page shows what the generator makes, how it works, and what it honestly cannot do. - Real 16x16 pixel art, drawn at that size, not shrunk down from a big image - Wired to the custom items of your plugin automatically - Delivered as a resource pack your server sends to players on join - Asks before drawing anything, so you always keep control of the cost - Touch up any pixel in the built-in editor [Create my plugin with textures](/)[How custom items work](/blog/custom-minecraft-item) ## What this generator actually makes Minax is a plugin generator first: you describe a plugin in plain English, the AI writes the Java and compiles a .jar for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit or Folia. When that plugin adds custom items, the texture generator is the part that gives each one its own look. Every texture is a 16x16 pixel art PNG, the exact size vanilla Minecraft uses for items, drawn at that size by a model made for pixel art. It is not a big picture squashed down, which is what turns most AI images into a blur of pixels at this scale. And to be clear about what it does not do: it does not repaint the game. Grass, stone, zombies and vanilla swords keep their normal look. The generator adds new looks for new items, on your server, without touching anything else. - Custom weapons: a flaming blade, a frost axe, a thunder hammer - Quest and crate items: an ancient amulet, a dragon key, a sealed scroll - Economy items: a server coin, a ruby, a bank note - Consumables: a poison apple, a golden berry, a strange glowing potion ## How it works, step by step You never draw or upload anything. You describe the plugin, and the textures follow the items. First, Minax writes the Java code of your plugin and spots every custom item in it, along with the CustomModelData number, the tag the game uses to tell a custom sword apart from a normal one. Then it asks you, item by item, whether you want a texture drawn. Nothing is generated behind your back, because textures cost credits: say no and the item simply keeps a vanilla Minecraft look, for free. For each approved item, the AI draws the texture as 16x16 pixel art matching your description. Minax then builds the resource pack around it: the pack files Minecraft expects, the model files that connect each texture to its item, all zipped and hosted for you. Finally, your plugin ships with a small manager that offers the pack to players when they join your server. They click accept once and see your items exactly as you designed them. You can turn this off at any time in the plugin config. ## Textures you can ask for The best results come from short, concrete descriptions: the object, its material, one or two visual details. A curved golden dagger with a green gem in the handle gives the AI much more to work with than a cool knife. Here is a full plugin description you can copy into the generator. It creates three crate keys, each with its own texture: Text to copy : crate keys with custom textures Paste it on minax.fun Build a crate plugin for Paper 1.21. Add three crates: common, rare and legendary, each with its own loot table in the config. Add three key items to open them: the common key is a plain iron key, the rare key is a golden key with a small blue gem, the legendary key is a black key with glowing purple runes. Give each key its own custom texture. Keys are given with /crate give , admin only. Right clicking a crate with the wrong key tells the player which key it needs. Announce legendary rewards in chat. ## You stay in control of every pixel AI pixel art is good, but 16x16 is an unforgiving size: one wrong pixel shows. So the generated texture is a starting point you own, not a final word. Every texture opens in the built-in pixel editor: pencil, eraser, fill bucket, color picker and a palette of classic Minecraft colors. Fix a pixel, redraw an edge or change the whole color scheme, right in the browser. Each texture can also be downloaded as a PNG if you prefer your own editor. And before installing anything, you can start a real online Minecraft server from your project, join it, and hold the item in your hand. The test server loads the resource pack too, so what you see there is what your players will see. - Minax asks before drawing, and refusing is free - Built-in pixel editor with the classic Minecraft palette - Download any texture as a PNG - Check the result on a real online server before installing ## Want to retexture the whole game? Then this is honestly not the right tool, and you deserve a straight answer instead of a workaround. Changing the look of vanilla Minecraft, stone, tools, mobs, the interface, is the job of a classic resource pack. You make one by drawing over the vanilla textures with any pixel art editor, placing your PNG files in the same folders the game uses, and adding a pack.mcmeta file. Players then pick that pack in their resource packs menu, or your server can distribute it. Minax works on the other side of the same system: instead of replacing vanilla textures, it adds new items with new textures through a plugin. If what you really want is your own sword, your own coin or your own crate key on your server, that is the route that works without your players editing a single file. ## Frequently asked questions ### What does the AI texture generator actually create? It creates 16x16 pixel art textures for the custom items of a Minecraft plugin, packed into a resource pack together with the model files the game needs. The plugin then sends that pack to players when they join the server. ### Can it make a full texture pack that changes the whole game? No. It textures new custom items added by your plugin. Vanilla blocks, mobs and items keep their normal look. To retexture the game itself you need a classic resource pack, made by drawing over the vanilla textures. ### Do players need to download or install anything? No manual steps. When a player joins your server, the plugin offers the resource pack and the game installs it after one click on accept. You can disable this in the plugin config. ### What size and style are the textures? Native 16x16 pixel art, the same size vanilla Minecraft uses for items, drawn at that size rather than shrunk from a larger image. ### Can I edit a texture after it is generated? Yes. Every texture opens in a built-in pixel editor with a pencil, an eraser, a fill bucket, a color picker and a Minecraft color palette. You can also download the PNG and use any editor you like. ### How much does it cost? Signing up is free and comes with 5 credits and one 10 minute session on a real online test server. Each texture costs credits and Minax always asks before drawing one; refusing is free. After your free credits, generating needs a subscription, starting at 14.99 EUR per month. ### Which servers and versions does it work with? Plugins compile for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Folia, from Minecraft 1.8 up to the latest versions. Custom item textures rely on CustomModelData, a feature of Minecraft 1.14 and newer, so pick a recent version if textures matter to you. ### Do I need to know how to draw pixel art? No. Describe the item in words, like a black key with glowing purple runes, and the AI draws it. The pixel editor is there if you want to adjust the result by hand. ## Ready to build your Minecraft plugin? Describe it in plain English, get a compiled .jar. Free. No Java required.
