Minecraft Block Gradient Generator

Choose two or three colours and get the blocks that fade between them, from 3 to 16 steps. Use it for wall gradients, roof fades, terrain transitions or a block palette for your next build.

  • 2–3 colour stops
  • 3–16 steps
  • 70 blocks to choose from

Colours are CartoVoxel's own averages of each block face, not Minecraft textures, so check the result in game: textured blocks such as wood and ores look busier than their average colour.

How to use it

From two colours to a block palette

  1. 01

    Pick the colours

    Start from a preset or choose your own start and end colour. Add a middle colour for three-part fades such as sunset skies or dirt to grass to stone.

  2. 02

    Set the length

    Choose how many blocks the gradient should span. Short gradients suit roofs and trims; longer ones work for walls, towers and terrain.

  3. 03

    Limit the blocks

    Untick block groups you do not want or cannot get in survival. Each block can appear once for a clean palette, or repeat for a smoother fade.

FAQ

Minecraft gradient questions

How does the generator choose blocks?

It blends your colours in the CIELAB colour space, which matches how people see differences, and picks the closest block for every step. The match label shows how close each block is to the colour it aimed for.

Why don't the blocks look exactly like in game?

The tool uses a single average colour per block instead of Minecraft's textures. Smooth blocks such as concrete match closely; patterned blocks such as planks, ores and bricks look busier in game.

What makes a good Minecraft gradient?

Keep neighbouring blocks close in brightness, mix textures sparingly and use more steps for long walls. Terracotta and concrete give the most even fades; wool adds softer pastel tones.

Can I use the gradient for pixel art or map art?

Yes. The same block colours drive the pixel art generator, and the map art generator uses Minecraft's map colours, so you can plan a palette here and build it there.

Does it work for Bedrock?

Yes, the blocks listed exist in both editions. The copied IDs use Java names; most match current Bedrock versions, but check any command in game.
