Now, lets be 100% honest.
We have all seen pixel art which has not been finished due to lazyness or confusion of blocks, or afk-ness.
But now we don't have to see as many. Because Minecraft Structure Planner is here! and easy to use.

IMO- This software is extremely easy to use while following the tutorial on the website, it is basically like MS Paint and Gimp, combined, but instead of assuming colors are relatively close to minecraft blocks, you can use actual Minecraft blocks like Obsidian, Cobble, and all of the Wool colors and ores. to determine which best fits to any size of Pixel art, completely customizable by you. anything from 256x256 Pixel art, to 64x64, or even Full size .jpg or .png images. You can also Import and Export files onto minecraft, and see a 3D rendering while on the program.
I recommend saving the program to the desktop of your computer. :D
Oh yeaz- you can also design houses and other builds...
If you are having trouble saving a file. put ".xps" at the end of the name.

My review - 9/10

I got it, but I cannot see anything apart from white on my viewing screen...?

did you read the tutorial on the website?

Well I read the FAQ, (skimmed through it TBH) and it seemed to be about stuff not related, or out of dated? I don't know... Possibly I have not got the other Java installed, I may sort that tonight. Anyway, nice find (If I can find out how to work it :P )

While this does seem like a handy tool, i don't think i will be getting much use out of it since i can memorize most of the structure layouts. It would be great for spheres.
The interface is pretty nice though.
-
Wait a second... This is a beta tool... Does it have a classic mode?
-
Claw, you can make it a classic tool if you limit yourself to only using blocks that are in classic, which might be a little more difficult. Right now im working on a GTR logo and im using netherack, and some other beta blocks.

But would it have the classic wools? They are not in beta.
-
its just beta wools, so the ones from classic are Black, D.Gray, L.Gray, White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Lime green, blue, Cyan, purple, magenta, pink

This is cool but not really worth me downloading lol. I can just create my own shapes and styles ingame with no hassle. Well I cant speek for everyone, but this may or may not be helpful. I always thought people who could build stuff with no programs were cool :D (Crafters ofc).

lol i understand. im not cool in ur opinion Dx. lol, i saw a YT vid of it and thought i would share it w/ people.
