How to use it
- Type your name, your base's name or a short message (two lines at most).
- Choose the letter height (7, 14, 21 or 28 blocks) and how thick the letters should be.
- Pick the block you want to build with. The preview changes colour to match.
- Open the 3D view to check it from every side.
- Build from the bottom: step through the row guide, which counts blocks and gaps from left to right.
How it works
Every letter comes from our own 5×7 block font. Each font pixel becomes one block, or a 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 square for bigger sizes, and thickness repeats the letters backwards. All counts are calculated from the same grid you see.
Questions
How tall should block letters be?
7 blocks is readable up close. For signs on a big base or a server spawn, 14 or 21 blocks tall reads well from far away.
Which characters are supported?
A to Z, 0 to 9, spaces and common symbols such as ! ? . , - + & : # < >. Letters are always shown in capitals.
Can I use different blocks for each letter?
Yes, in game you can mix any blocks you like. The preview uses one block so the block count is easy to plan.
