This is a simple preview, not a video from the game. Actual blocks may fall at a different speed in Minecraft.

4. Get your Minecraft animation

Upload a picture to create your own Minecraft ZIP file.

Try this in a brand-new Creative world. The animation places and removes lots of blocks. It can destroy buildings in its path, and some dropped torches will remain. Do not use a world you want to keep.

I will use a new Creative world with nothing I want to keep.

Step-by-step instructions

How to play it in Minecraft

Open Minecraft: Java Edition (version 26.3) on your computer. Create a new Creative world and turn cheats on. Do not use an existing world with your buildings.
Open your new world’s folder, then its datapacks folder. Put the downloaded ZIP inside without unzipping it. Go back to Minecraft and type /reload in chat.
For the largest size (64×64), start in a new flat world. Copy these three lines into Minecraft chat, one at a time:
```
/forceload add 0 0 79 79
/fill 0 4 0 71 4 65 minecraft:stone
/tp @s 0.5 5 0.5
```
These commands make a flat stone floor for your picture and move you to the right starting spot. They only belong in a new, empty world.
Type /function gravity_art:install in chat and wait for the “Install complete” message.
Stay within one block of your starting spot and type /function gravity_art:trigger to watch your picture appear. No button is installed.
Type /function gravity_art:reset to remove the animation and try again. It will not bring back any buildings that were overwritten, or pick up dropped items.

This download is for Minecraft Java Edition 26.3. It is meant for new, empty Creative worlds—not existing survival worlds or public servers.

Common questions

Can I use my own photos and drawings?

Yes. Most PNG, JPG and WebP pictures work, including screenshots and logos. Pictures must be under 15 MB, 8,192 pixels per side and 40 million pixels in total. Small Minecraft pictures cannot keep every detail, and damaged or oversized files may not work.

Which animations can I download?

All three animations can be downloaded for Minecraft Java 26.3. “From the Middle” and “Side to Side” are available at 16×16. “Falling Corners” also offers 32×32 and 64×64.

Does MinePilot keep my picture?

No. Your picture is opened and turned into Minecraft blocks in your browser. We only count anonymous actions, such as how often people generate or download an animation. We do not collect the image or file name.

Can I use it in my survival world?

We do not recommend it. The animation could replace your buildings or landscape. Test it in a new Creative world instead.
