Voxelmatica

Bring full-motion, 120 FPS animated displays and pixel-perfect map art into Minecraft.

Voxelmatica is a high-performance rendering engine and building tool designed for technical creators. It takes external media (GIFs, PNGs) and translates them into perfectly color-matched Minecraft blocks in real-time.

Core Features

• Zero-Lag Rendering: Animations and previews run on GPU-accelerated VBOs (Vertex Buffer Objects) client-side. This allows for incredibly smooth, high-framerate playback and massive displays without tanking your game’s FPS or server TPS.
• True Color Science: Forget basic RGB matching. Voxelmatica uses advanced CIEDE2000 math and Floyd-Steinberg dithering to find the absolute closest block color to your source image.
• Smart GIF Processing: Fully supports complex GIF disposal methods. The engine calculates frame-by-frame deltas so only the pixels that actually change are updated in the render loop, keeping memory usage lean.
• Live In-Game Preview: See exactly how your animation or static art will look as a 3D hologram before you commit to building it.

How to Use

1. Place your .gif or .png files into the generated .minecraft/PixelGifs or .minecraft/PixelImages folders.
2. Press O in-game to open the menu and select your image or GIF.
3. Tweak the dithering, color match modes, and target dimensions to your liking.
4. Generate!
