# MapartCraft

> MapartCraft is a free, open-source Minecraft map art generator that runs in your web browser. It converts any image into map art for Minecraft: Java Edition and exports it either as an NBT schematic to build block by block in survival (with Litematica, Schematica or a structure block) or as map.dat files that can be imported straight into a world.
