Website Construction Under-way

Alpha postponed due to server outages and corrupting some of my files (SIGH)

MCBlueprint Website

What is Minecraft Blueprint?

Minecraft Blueprint is a upcoming website based off www.minedraft.net. This website plans to improve the existing websites and programs out there to make mock up designs of your creations.

Why Re-Invent Something already out there?

After using a few similar websites and programs out there I have found areas that lack in functionality and that are not easy on the eye. I aim to fix this.

What will be different about Minecraft Blueprint?

Minecraft Blueprint will be built from the ground up and be a web based application within the Minecraft Blueprint website (to be announced). With this application being build from scratch means I can add nearly any features I can think of, including suggestions from you the PMC community.

What are some Features Minecraft BluePrints will offer?

  • Save your Blueprint as a jpg or png file to your computer
  • Save Projects for Later editing
  • Share your Blueprint creations with an online community
  • Make your Blueprint with Popular Texture Packs (eventually able to upload your own)
  • Multiple Views
  • Smooth User Interface
  • Almost Unlimited Blueprint work area
  • 16x16, 32x32 and 64x64 views of ALL Minecraft blocks
  • Mob Icons for mob trap planning
  • Much much more...

Possible Features:
  • Create Accounts
  • Share projects with comments like PMC

When will this be ready for testing / use?

Currently this is in the Planning and Design phase, I am creating the UI designs and mapping how the whole program will work so currently there is no ETA for this project.

What can I do to help?

You can help by leaving me a comment with suggestions of features you want for this application and the final website. Along with this to show your interest please subscribe, favourite and diamond so i can see how many people may use Minecraft Blueprints in the future.

Keep an eye on this project for updates and screenshots of the designs.

Additional Details

If you wish to help Fund or Donate to this website / application please pm me, any help for this would be great... Also any suggestions let me know

I noticed this project has been postponed.  Will it come back up again?!  I would love to see this come alive.  it seems very interesting to watch this grow  (I'm the MineCanvas developer, your blueprint site competitor ;p.)  

Hope to see this project revived. ;(

With my Texture pack option of pre-set textures i will be able to include images of each block, name them what i want and have full custom icons to place...


The code behind it is open so i can add additional ID's to add more textures for future updates and for mods, currently working on this however

we should be able to upload our own texture packs, juist a suggestion :D
The easiest way way but probs the most time consuming for the members would be upload a texture for dirt/grass/iron ore. And other members would be allowed to use those texture packs :D

There will be a few views that you can switch though, so by default would be the front or bottom view, switching to the side or top view will let you see the side of the blocks you placed.


To make a complete isometric blueprint app is a bit ahead of my coding knowledge at the moment

One of the things I hate about making blueprints is that with the really large ones, it can take a while just to sketch out designs, especially big builds. Is there a way you could make a base structure for large builds or maybe a simulated terrain of sorts?


Might come in handy.

So you are meaning pre defined shapes like a big square or hollow circle?


This 'could' be done BUT would be a lot of work so most likely will be an added feature in the future but not on the Beta release.

Minedraft is not updated (still minimal blocks from early beta) and has minimal features, this one is improving on what minedraft has and making it more user friendly.


Along with adding a PMC profile feel to it...hopefully
