Pixelbolt

Pixelbolt playground

Pixelbolt turns JSON recipes into pixel art, animations and effects. Pick an example, edit its recipe and watch the pixels change, then download a PNG, GIF or atlas, or copy a link that reopens it. Open a recipe or a playground PNG (or drop it on the page) to pick up where it left off.

For the CLI, MCP server and Studio, get Pixelbolt on GitHub. Step-by-step effect guides: fire, explosions, smoke, water, slime and magic.
