Minecraft Printer

Description

These scripts enable you to print an imported image into your Minecraft world. Currently the produced pixel art is set to a maximum in-game resolution of 256 by 256 blocks.

You can change this resolution if needed in the settings.py file.

resolution = 256

It is recommended to use a new world for this script and also change the resolution to 64 if you want to run the scripts on a RaspberryPi. Minecraft Pi Edition wont allow any changes in the render distance (also the performance is very bad) If you're on PC you can adjust the resolution to your liking.
