Spacing and layout
Spacing values are in font pixels and scale with the size slider. Alignment applies when the text has more than one line.
Preview
The checkerboard marks transparent areas and is not part of the download.
Copy as text
Section codes go straight into chat, signs, books and a server MOTD. The JSON form is what /tellraw, /title and sign commands take.

SVG is vector, so it scales to a banner or a poster without going soft. It covers the flat layers: colour, shadow and outline.
Mark
A logo is usually a name and a thing. Pick an item, block or mob, or type any id.
Backdrop
Check the text against a wall before you trust it. Whatever is showing here is baked into the download.

Where the text goes
Each one matches how the game draws text in that place, down to the background opacity.

Click a colour to use it as the base colour, or type its code straight into your text with § or & (for example &6Gold &lBold) to colour single words.
The one in the game is usually called Mojangles, and it is not a font file at all. Minecraft draws its interface text from bitmap sheets, grids of glyphs stored as textures, which is why you cannot select it in another program and why every "Minecraft font" you find elsewhere is somebody's redraw of it.
Two redraws come up constantly and are worth telling apart. Minecraftia by Andrew Tyler imitates the in-game text. Minecrafter by MadPixel imitates the chunky title-screen wordmark, which is not a font in the game either: the logo is a single piece of artwork covering the nine letters of MINECRAFT, so there is no J or Z to borrow from it.
This generator renders from the sheets themselves rather than from a redraw, so the shapes and the spacing are the game's. You can also download it as a TTF or see every letter on its own.
Minecraft draws its interface text from bitmap sheets rather than a font file, so there is nothing to install straight from the game. These files are built by tracing those sheets, one outline per pixel, which makes the letterforms the game's own rather than a lookalike redraw. Four faces, 2,412 characters each, covering Latin, accented Latin, Cyrillic and Greek.
Download all four faces (ZIP, 349 KB)Install the TTF files; the WOFF2 versions are for use on a website. Sizes land exactly on the pixel grid at multiples of 8pt, so 16pt and 32pt stay sharp where 15pt will not. If your software smooths the edges, switch it to nearest neighbour and the glyphs go crisp again.
Minecraft's font is a bitmap drawn on a texture sheet, not a normal font file, so you cannot just type it in another program. This generator renders your text from the real game font sheet, matches the in-game letter spacing and drop shadow, and exports a transparent PNG you can drop onto thumbnails, signs and banners.
Type your text, choose one of the 16 Minecraft colours or any custom colour, set the scale, and the preview updates instantly. The drop shadow toggle adds the same one-pixel offset shadow the game draws, and the transparent background option keeps the export clean for compositing.
Everything runs in your browser, so your text never leaves your computer and there is no watermark on the download.

A lot of Minecraft font tools fake the spacing by treating every letter as the same width, which makes words look stretched. This one measures each glyph directly from the font texture, trimming the blank pixels on the right and adding a single pixel of spacing, which is exactly how the game's default font provider works. The result is that narrow letters sit close and wide letters get room, matching a real sign or chat line.
The default sheet covers the standard ASCII characters: letters, numbers and common punctuation. Line breaks are supported, so you can lay out multi-line signs and book pages and export them as one image.
Minecraft's interface uses a custom bitmap font drawn on a texture sheet rather than a normal installable font file. The classic look comes from the default ASCII sheet, an 8 by 8 pixel grid of glyphs. This generator renders text directly from that real sheet, so the letters are exactly the shapes you see in game, not a lookalike font.
Yes. Type your text, pick a colour and scale, and use Download PNG. With the transparent background option on, the image has no background, so it drops cleanly onto a thumbnail, banner or overlay. Turn it off to bake in a background colour at any opacity; black at 50% is what the game draws behind chat.
Toggle Drop shadow on. The generator draws the same shadow the game uses: a copy of the text offset down and to the right by one pixel, coloured at a quarter of the main colour's brightness. That is what gives in-game text its slight 3D depth, and it scales with your chosen size.
Minecraft has 16 built-in text colours, each with a formatting code from 0 to f used after the section sign in chat, signs, books and server MOTDs. They range from black (0) through the dark and bright variants up to white (f), including gold (6), aqua (b), red (c) and yellow (e). The generator lists all 16 as swatches so you can match the exact in-game colour, and you can also pick any custom colour.
Yes, free, in four faces. Minecraft has no font file of its own because it draws text from bitmap sheets, so these are built by tracing those sheets, one outline per pixel. The letterforms are the game's own rather than a lookalike. Install the TTF files, or use the WOFF2 versions on a website. Sizes land exactly on the pixel grid at multiples of 8pt.
All 2,412 characters of Minecraft's default font, which is three texture sheets rather than one. That covers plain ASCII, accented Latin for German, French, Spanish, Polish and the rest, plus Cyrillic and Greek. A line grows taller only when it actually contains a tall glyph, so plain English text keeps the game's eight pixel line box.
Because the generator measures each letter's width straight from the font texture, the same way the game does for the default font: it trims the blank space on the right of each glyph and adds one pixel of spacing. A narrow letter like i takes less room than a wide one like m, so words line up just as they do on a sign or in chat.
Common uses are YouTube and video thumbnails, server logos and MOTD art, map and resource pack promo images, Discord banners, and printable signs. Because the export is a transparent PNG at the scale you choose, it composites neatly over screenshots and backgrounds without a visible box.
