MCprep - Blender Addon for Minecraft Renders

What is MCprep?

MCprep is a Blender addon that takes the pain out of setting up Minecraft renders and animations. If you’ve exported a Minecraft world to OBJ format and want to turn it into something impressive, MCprep handles a lot of the tedious setup work. It imports your world files, automatically applies materials, loads in mobs and items, and even includes ready-to-use animations for blocks and creatures.

Key Features

World Import and Setup

Load exported Minecraft worlds directly into Blender. MCprep works with OBJ files from jmc2obj and Mineways, the most popular Minecraft world exporters. The addon automatically organizes your imported geometry.

Material Library

Forget manually creating materials for every block type. MCprep includes a linked asset library that applies proper textures and shaders to your blocks. The library is included and continuously expanded with new block types.

Mob and Item Integration

Quickly add mobs and items to your scenes. The addon pulls from the asset library to populate your render with creatures and objects, saving hours of manual work.

Pre-built Animations

Common blocks like tall grass, torches, and flowers have default animations included. Add animated mobs like bats and blazes without setting up keyframes yourself.

Proxy Characters

Set up character proxies for animation work. Build complex Minecraft animations faster with animation-ready rigs included in the library.
