Minecraft Build Generator

Upload an image or describe a build; generate a concept, tweak it, and produce a 3D block-style representation.

Describe a build or upload a reference image and get back a block-by-block plan you can actually put down in game: a 3D preview, the block list, and a layer-by-layer guide. It is aimed at the gap between seeing an impressive build and knowing where to start.

What a v1 does5 features
  • Build generated from a text description or a reference image
  • A 3D preview that can be rotated and edited before committing
  • The exact block list, with quantities
  • Layer-by-layer placement guide you can follow in game
  • Schematic export for the common build tools

The market

New category
No one sells this yet

Blockbench is free and open source, and Minecraft's own marketplace publishes no revenue split. Nothing currently plans and generates builds for players. Note also that much of this audience is under 13, so payment and parental consent are a genuine constraint on selling builds at $3 each in $9 packs.

Why this audience

This audience watches builds they could never plan themselves and knows exactly where they get stuck: seeing the finished thing and not knowing where to start. Turning a reference image into a block list and a layer-by-layer guide answers that precise gap. They already want the build; they lack the plan.

Before it can launch

  • Mojang brand and asset guidelines - the name cannot lead with Minecraft, the app cannot look official, and the game's assets are not licensed for commercial use

How the pricing works

Credits. Each generated build costs GPU time, so a $9 pack of three is the unit and $3 is what one works out at.

Fifty thousand paying users is the ceiling every one of these pages is drawn against, not a forecast. It opens at a thousand, the bottom of the range, so the first figures you see are the modest ones. What the cap buys is comparability: the same range on every app, and the percentage of the audience it takes as the number that moves.

Is this the one for your audience?

We fund it, build it, and run it. You bring the audience and take a share of the revenue. Nothing to pay and nothing to build.
