Picture Axe

by Jacobwasbeast · on Modrinth

Place images from the web into your Minecraft world in various ways. From beds, banners, and shields you can put images onto vast array of things.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.6–1.21.8 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.5 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.1 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.6–1.21.8 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.5 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.1 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Forge
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

How to Use

  1. Copy an Image URL: Find an image on the web and copy its URL. (Pro-tip: Use URLs that end in .png or .jpg for best results!)
  2. Store the URL: Hold your PicAxe and Sneak + Right-Click in the air to open the URL input screen. Paste your link and click "Confirm".
  3. Apply the Image:
    • Right-click on any vanilla Bed, Banner, or one of the new blocks (Image Frame, 6-Sided Block) to apply the stored image. This will convert the vanilla block into its "Image" version.
  4. Configure Blocks:
    • Image Beds: Right-click an Image Bed again with the same URL on your PicAxe to cycle through its different rendering styles.
    • 6-Sided Block: To apply an image to a specific face, simply right-click on that face with the PicAxe.
    • Image Frame: After applying an image, right-click the frame again to open its config screen where you can set its size (Width/Height) and toggle the stretch mode.
