Minecraft Panorama Maker

Turn any 360° scene into a custom Minecraft menu panorama. Generate the scene with AI or upload your own, and get the six panorama files packed for Java Edition or Bedrock.

Make the Minecraft files

Drop in a 2:1 equirectangular panorama, or pick one of ours to try. It is cut into panorama_0 to panorama_5 in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

No panorama yet? Try one of these:

Turn the scene so the part you want first on the title screen becomes panorama_0.

Converted on your device. The panorama never leaves your browser.

Everything a custom Minecraft panorama needs

Generate a scene or bring your own

Describe a floating sky island, a snowy village or a nether fortress and the AI generator builds a 360° panorama. Already have one? Drop it straight into the converter at the top.

The exact panorama_0–5 file names

Minecraft reads six square images named panorama_0.png to panorama_5.png. The maker names and orders them for you, so no file ends up on the wrong side of the cube.

A Java resource pack in one click

The Java download is a ready resource pack: pack.mcmeta plus the six images in assets/minecraft/textures/gui/title/background. Drop the zip into your resourcepacks folder.

A Bedrock .mcpack as well

The Bedrock download is a .mcpack with a manifest and the six images in textures/ui, the folder Bedrock Edition reads its menu panorama from.

Choose what faces front

The front view slider turns the scene before it is cut, so the castle, the sunset or your base is the first thing players see when the game opens.

Runs in your browser

Cutting the panorama into faces happens on your device. Your image is not uploaded, and the conversion step costs nothing.

How to make a custom Minecraft panorama

  1. 1. Describe or upload

    Write what the title screen should show, or upload a screenshot or photo for the AI to build a full 360° view around.

  2. 2. Generate the 360° panorama

    The generator returns a 2:1 equirectangular image you can look around in before you download it. 2K is enough for 1024 px faces.

  3. 3. Make the Minecraft files

    Drop the panorama into the converter at the top, pick a face size and the front view, and press Make Minecraft files.

  4. 4. Install the pack

    Download the Java resource pack or the Bedrock .mcpack, enable it in Minecraft, and the new background turns behind the main menu.

Install the panorama in Minecraft Java Edition

The Java resource pack holds pack.mcmeta and the six images at assets/minecraft/textures/gui/title/background/panorama_0.png through panorama_5.png. Install it like any other resource pack:

  1. Open Minecraft and go to Options → Resource Packs.
  2. Click Open Pack Folder and move the downloaded zip into that folder. You do not need to unzip it.
  3. Back in Minecraft, find the pack under Available and click its arrow to move it to Selected.
  4. Click Done. The title screen reloads with your custom panorama.

If Minecraft warns that the pack was made for a different version, you can still enable it. Since Java 1.21.6 all six panorama images must be square and the same size, which every face size here meets.

Custom panorama for Minecraft Bedrock Edition

Bedrock Edition reads its menu panorama from textures/ui/panorama_0.png to panorama_5.png. The .mcpack download puts the six images there and adds the manifest Bedrock needs to import it.

  1. Open the downloaded .mcpack file. On Windows, Android and iOS this imports it into Minecraft.
  2. In Minecraft, open Settings → Global Resources.
  3. Under My Packs, select the panorama pack and press Activate.
  4. Return to the main menu to see the new background.

Bedrock turns custom panoramas the opposite way to Java by default, so the scene scrolls to the right. Use the front view slider to choose what players see first.

Minecraft panorama files explained

A Minecraft panorama is a cube map: six square images that wrap around the camera on the title screen. This is what each file holds:

FileWhat it shows
panorama_0.pngFront — the first view when the game opens
panorama_1.pngRight of the front view
panorama_2.pngBehind the front view
panorama_3.pngLeft of the front view
panorama_4.pngSky, straight up
panorama_5.pngGround, straight down

The first four images run left to right around the horizon; panorama_4 sits above panorama_0 and panorama_5 below it. A 2:1 panorama of 2048 × 1024 or larger gives sharp 1024 px faces; the title screen shows the faces at their own size, so 2048 px faces only pay off on large monitors.

Minecraft panorama FAQ

What is a Minecraft panorama?

A Minecraft panorama is the slowly turning background on the title screen, built from six square images named panorama_0 to panorama_5 that form a cube around the camera. A resource pack can replace those six images with your own.

How do I make a custom panorama in Minecraft?

You make a custom Minecraft panorama by turning a 360° image into six cube faces with the right file names and packing them as a resource pack. Generate or upload the 360° image above, press Make Minecraft files, download the pack for your edition and enable it in Resource Packs or Global Resources.

Does the custom panorama work on Bedrock Edition?

Yes, the Bedrock download is a .mcpack that places panorama_0 to panorama_5 in textures/ui, where Bedrock Edition reads its menu panorama. Import it by opening the file, then activate it under Settings → Global Resources.

What resolution should a Minecraft panorama be?

Six square faces of 1024 px look sharp on most screens, and Java 1.21.6 and later require all six to be the same square size. Choose 2048 px for very large monitors and 512 px to keep the pack small.

Can I use a screenshot of my own world?

A single screenshot only covers part of the view, so it cannot fill all six faces on its own. Upload it to the AI generator on this page and it builds the rest of the 360° scene around it, or use the Photo to 360° Converter for the same job with more options.

Is the Minecraft panorama maker free?

Cutting a panorama into Minecraft files is free and runs entirely in your browser. Generating a new scene with AI uses credits, and new accounts get free credits that cover a first 2K panorama.
