Why Shapeshift

Built for people who care where the blocks land.

Most shape tools give you a pretty preview and a count. Shapeshift gives you the curve, the slab, the layer plan and the file — without leaving the browser.

37 shapes, zero filler

Spheres, ovals, domes, hearts, knots, spires and more. Every shape is parametric — dial in the size instead of hunting for a fixed blueprint.

Half-slab curves

Curves are sampled twice per block and become bottom or top slabs where they cut through. The silhouette gets smoother; the export keeps the exact slab state.

Real Minecraft textures

Flip on the latest Minecraft 26.3 block textures and preview your palette before you place a block. Textures load at runtime; flat colours remain the offline fallback.

A viewer that thinks in layers

Build mode, ghosted future layers, section cuts, an aligned top view and a layer timeline. Stop eyeballing the y-axis.

Blueprints for humans

2D layer plans with slab halves, previous-layer ghosts, symmetry checks, quadrant counts and row and column totals. Build it right the first time.

Exports that paste

Litematica, Sponge, vanilla structure blocks, block lists and layer PNGs. Slabs are written with the right block state, not approximated.

Blueprint mode

The 3D view sells the dream.
The layer plan builds it.

Step through every Y-level with ghosted context, slab-aware cells, symmetry badges and quadrant counts. Row and column totals tell you how many blocks belong where, before you place the first one.

  • Top-down layer by layer, with the previous layer ghosted
  • Bottom and top slabs drawn as half-cells
  • X/Z symmetry checks and a build-once, mirror-often quadrant count
  • Hover any cell for its exact world coordinates

Slabs + textures

Curves that actually curve.
Blocks that look like blocks.

Half-slab detail doubles the vertical resolution of every curved shape. Turn on Minecraft textures and the same model reads like something already built — stone, quartz, obsidian, glass and all.

  • Slabs wherever a curve cuts a block in half
  • Materials pair with their matching slab block automatically
  • Real 26.3 textures in the 3D viewer and the 2D blueprint
  • No texture files bundled; flat colours if the mirror is unreachable

The shape library

37 shapes. None of them are a dirt cube.

Start with a form, then make it yours. Every card opens the studio with that shape ready to edit.

Exports

Screenshots are nice. Schematics are better.

Take the shape into your world with the format your toolchain already speaks.

.litematic

Litematica

Slab-safe, 1.20.1 block states, packed long arrays. The default for big builds.

.schem

Sponge schematic

WorldEdit, FAWE and Amulet. The most widely supported modern schematic format.

.nbt

Structure block

Vanilla structure file. Load it into a structure block and drop it in-world.

.csv

Block list

A shopping list with full blocks, half slabs and full-block equivalents counted separately.

.csv

Coordinates

Every block's world coordinates for commands, spreadsheets or a custom builder.

.png

Layer blueprint

Print the current layer with counts, coordinates and a legend for the workshop wall.

How it works

From “what if” to WorldEdit in three steps.

  1. 01

    Shape it

    Pick a form and dial in the dimensions. Slab detail is one switch; materials are a click.

  2. 02

    Slice it

    Walk the layer plan, ghost the layer below and copy exact coordinates as you go.

  3. 03

    Ship it

    Download a litematic, a schematic, a structure file or a blueprint — and go place blocks.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Shapeshift free?+

Yes. Shapeshift runs entirely in your browser with no account, download or paywall.

What is half-slab detail?+

Curves are sampled twice per block vertically. When a curve cuts through a block, Shapeshift places a bottom or top slab instead of a full block, halving the stair-stepping. Exports keep the exact slab block state.

Can I export to Litematica or WorldEdit?+

Yes. Shapeshift exports Litematica .litematic files, Sponge v2 .schem files for WorldEdit and FAWE, vanilla structure block .nbt files, block lists and layer PNGs.

Are the latest Minecraft textures included?+

No texture files are bundled. The texture toggle loads Minecraft 26.3 block textures at runtime from a public asset mirror. If the mirror is unavailable, Shapeshift falls back to flat colours.

Which Minecraft version does Shapeshift target?+

Exports target Minecraft 1.20.1, data version 3465, for wide toolchain compatibility. The texture preview uses the latest Java release, Minecraft 26.3. Litematica, Sponge and structure-block exports include the appropriate slab properties.

Does it work on mobile?+

Yes. The viewer supports touch orbit and pinch zoom, and the controls collapse into drawers. It is still happiest on a tablet or desktop.
