Custom Interiors

Preview Photo

• Using whatever arts and crafts image editor you like (I recommend paint.net or Gimp), create a photo for your desktop in a SQUARE format.

• Save this image in the .png image format, and with the name of your desktop.

If my desktop was called “war”, I’d save it as “war.png”.

• Reuse this desktop name later, as it will also be the ID for your desktop.

Converting Your Beautiful Build To NBT

Use a Structure Block to save your interior.

First save your interior, and note down your namespace (before the colon) and desktop name (after the colon) The .nbt will be saved to .minecraft/saves/(WorldName)/generated/(namespace)/structures.

Create a Datapack

• Follow the tutorial on the Minecraft Wiki on datapacks on how to set one up, use the namespace from earlier

• Place the .nbt file from earlier in

data/(namespace)/structures/interiors/(desktop_name).nbt

• Create a new .json file in the path

data/(namespace)/desktop/(desktop_name).json

• Inside this new .json file, paste

"id": "namespace:desktop_name"

• replacing the namespace and the desktop_name with your own from earlier

• Now put this datapack into Minecraft.

Create A Resource Pack

Follow this guide

• Place your .png preview in the path

assets/(namespace)/textures/desktop/(desktop_name).png

• If you want people to be able to see your preview, they will need this resource pack.
