How to Use Minecraft Block Model Viewer

01.Select a preset Java block model (Crafting Table, Enchanting Table, Torch, Custom Slab/Stairs) or paste/upload your own block model JSON.
02.Optionally upload a PNG texture to apply to the model faces.
03.Orbit, zoom, toggle wireframe or 16×16×16 block grid bounds, and inspect any JSON parsing warnings.

How It Works

Parses the elements[] array ([from, to] in 0..16 block units and optional axis rotations) and constructs Three.js 3D meshes inside a 16×16×16 reference grid.

Supported Formats & Outputs

• JSON (Java Block/Item Model)
• PNG (Texture)

Common Questions about Minecraft Block Model Viewer

Why does a model with only a "parent" field need elements?

In Minecraft Java, child models that only specify "parent": "block/cube_all" inherit geometry from vanilla assets. This viewer renders explicit elements[] arrays or resolves common built-in parents.
