In this tutorial I will teach you how to create amazing block (or structure) renders with just a few clicks.


Requirements:

- Minecraft for Windows
- Microsoft Paint 3D



Tutorial:

First, you have to create a new world on Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Make sure to enable Creative Mode and Cheats.
In the next step, enter this command in the chat: /give @s structure_block
You will get an item called "Structure Block".
To use it, go near the block or structure you want to render, and place it down.
Then right-click the structure block. First of all, set the first option to "3D export". Then change the size and offset until only your structure is displayed in the preview window. Make sure the structure block isn't displayed in the window; if it is, exit the menu and place the block a bit further from the structure you want to save. If you are happy with the preview, make sure "Remove Blocks" is set to false, and press "Export". Now choose where you want to save the .glb file so you can find it later.




Go to the file location of your .glb file and double-click it. If Windows wants to know with which application the file should be opened, choose "Paint 3D". Now you should see a 2D view of the structure you exported from Minecraft. To change this to 3D, click on "3D View". Now you can move the structure by holding middle-click or turn the structure by holding right-click.

To change lighting or the background, click on "Effects". There you can change The position of the sun and change the atmosphere. (Paint 3D even offers Minecraft themes; to create a "dark mode", I recommend "Cave (Minecraft)".

For the final step, click on the three dots (menu icon) and choose "Save Screenshot". Now you're done with your perfect Minecraft 3D render!

That's a possibility too, of course. I'm not really experienced in Blender (which is why I don't even have it on my computer in the first place) so Paint 3D was the easiest way to open the file. :)
Glad you found it helpful!

Personally, my preferred way of doing block renders is the Isometric Renders Java mod by now.
