Build scannable QR codes from Minecraft blocksLearn more

Link to a website, Discord, or server — a block QR code that a phone reads directly from the game screen. Schema, list of blocks, and data pack that sets the code with one command.

What to encode

The shorter, the less code: a short link is about 30 blocks per side plus a border, and a text paragraph is around a hundred.

Blocks

The greater the light contrast, the more reliably the phone reads it. Concrete is a solid color without pattern.

What you'll need

How to use the result

  1. Place the datapack in the world

    Place the archive in world/datapacks, then /reload.

  2. Stand in the bottom-left corner

    The code will face east (+X) and upward — facing south: read it while standing south of the wall.

  3. Place and check

    /place template juxmc:qr_code ~ ~ ~, then point your phone camera at the screen — the link will open.

What to know about QR codes in Minecraft

  • Module — one block. The code is read by a camera from the monitor screen: QR 25 × 25 blocks on the spawn wall — a phone takes it in one glance.
  • Correction — damage resistance. L restores 7% of the code, H restores 30%: with H you can place a small logo in the center, but the code will become larger.
  • A frame is needed. Around the code, light modules: four modules in light; phones usually read it with two, without border — only on a light background.
  • Data pack for 26.3. Template .nbt Recorded as this version writes it. On older versions, build according to the schema and block list — they are version-independent.

To create block lettering, use Block text image — pixel art.

Frequently asked questions

How to make a QR code in Minecraft?

Enter a link — the page will generate a QR code from blocks: a blueprint, a list of blocks, and a datapack that places the code using the /place command.

Can a phone read a QR code from blocks?

Yes, if dark blocks are noticeably darker than light ones and there's a light frame around them: aim the camera at the screen, the code module — one block.

What size should the QR code be?

Depends on text length and error correction: a short link is about 30 blocks per side including the frame.
