Install: Double-click the downloaded .mcaddon — Minecraft opens and imports both packs automatically. On mobile, use Settings → Storage → Import.
Enable packs: Open your world settings and enable Pixel Art BP (behavior pack) and Pixel Art RP (resource pack). Turn on cheats.
Get the item: Run /give @s pixelart:placer in chat.
Position yourself: Stand at the spot you want as the bottom-left corner. The art extends 200 blocks right (+X) and 200 blocks up (+Y), flush against the block in front of you.
Use the item: Hold the Pixel Art Placer and tap / right-click. The function runs and places all 200×200 blocks.
Placing 40,000 blocks can take a few seconds — stay in the area and wait for it to finish.
How to Use — Java Edition
The download is a .zip datapack. Don't unzip it — drop the whole file into your world's datapacks folder.
Step 1 — Find your datapacks folder
Press Win + R, paste this path and hit Enter:
%APPDATA%\.minecraft\saves
Open your world's folder. If there's no datapacks folder inside, create one (right-click → New Folder → name it datapacks). Drop the .zip file in there.
In Finder, press ⌘ Shift G (Go to Folder) and paste:
~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves
⚠️ The Library folder is hidden — the ⌘ Shift G trick bypasses this. Browsing to it manually won't work.
Open your world's folder. If there's no datapacks folder inside it, create one — right-click → New Folder → name it exactly datapacks.
Drop the .zip file into the datapacks folder (don't unzip it).
Open a terminal and navigate to:
~/.minecraft/saves/<your world name>/datapacks/
If the datapacks folder doesn't exist, create it: mkdir -p ~/.minecraft/saves/<World Name>/datapacks. Then copy the .zip in (don't unzip).
Load it in-game: Open your world, then run /reload in chat. Cheats must be on.
Verify the datapack loaded: Run /datapack list — you should see [file/pixel_art_... in the list. If it's not there, the zip is in the wrong folder.
Get the item — copy this exactly (note the colon between pixelart and give): /function pixelart:give
Position yourself: Stand at where you want the bottom-left corner. The art goes 200 blocks right (+X) and 200 blocks up (+Y).
Right-click with the item to place all 200×200 blocks.
If you get "Unknown function" — run /datapack list first to confirm the pack loaded. Works on Java 1.20+. Placing 40,000 blocks takes a few seconds — stay nearby.
