How to use generated Minecraft rank tags?

Copy or save your generated tag as a PNG image. For Java Edition, place the image in your resource pack's textures folder, reference it in the font JSON file, and use the unicode character in-game. Keep the exported image within 256x256 pixels for Java, whose unicode font glyph textures max out at that size; the resolution readout shown below the preview displays the exact output dimensions, so lower the render resolution or shorten the text if either dimension exceeds 256. For Bedrock Edition, place it in the font folder glyph file and use unicode based on image position. Tags can be used as LuckPerms prefixes with assigned unicodes.

What font does the pixel art tag generator use?

The tool offers 5 hand-crafted pixel font families: Mono (5x5) for best readability, Mono Square (5x5) for a blockier look with square corners, Medium (4x5) for a balance of size and clarity, Compact (3x5) for longer text or tight spaces, and Minecraft (5x7), a taller game-accurate recreation of the classic Minecraft typeface. A Bold toggle gives each family a heavier weight (thickened vertical strokes) for extra impact. These bitmap fonts are perfect for pixel art projects and retro interfaces. All five families support the same character set: Latin (A–Z), Cyrillic (with Ukrainian/Belarusian/Serbian/Bulgarian extensions), Greek (Α–Ω + monotonic accents), Japanese Katakana (ア–ン), and full Western European, Nordic, Slavic Latin, and Baltic diacritics, plus punctuation (¿ ¡ „ " " « » – — …), currency (€ £ ¥ ₽ ₴ ₪), and symbols (© ® ™ ° № ❤ ✅).

What features does the Minecraft tag generator have?

Features include: 5 font families (Mono 5x5, Mono Square 5x5, Medium 4x5, Compact 3x5, Minecraft 5x7) each with an optional bold weight, multi-line text support (press Enter for a new line) with center, left, or right alignment and adjustable letter spacing, multiple gradient colors with per-color transparency and draggable gradient stops, hard colors mode for sharp transitions, text and background shadows in 5 directions with custom colors and transparency, text and background outlines with adjustable thickness (per-side asymmetric mode for both, plus per-side colors with optional corner blending for the background outline), background emboss (bevel) with symmetric or per-side (asymmetric) thickness so a side can be turned off for a top/bottom-only bevel, auto-derived highlight and shadow colors or fully custom per-side colors with optional corner blending, and an inset-behind-outline option that stacks the bevel just inside the outline for a double-outline look, symmetric and asymmetric padding, symmetric and asymmetric rounded corners (per-corner radii), standalone icon islands that carve the background with transparent gaps, compact icon padding mode, custom icon uploads with before/after/above/below positioning, per-icon shadow and outline that auto-sync with text effects, render order, transparency, and pixel-by-pixel nudging, an adjustable render resolution (1× to 32×) for smoother gradients and larger, higher-resolution output with a toggle for whether effects and icons scale with the resolution or stay at a fixed fine pixel size, a live resolution readout below the preview showing the exact exported pixel dimensions (useful for staying within Minecraft Java's 256x256 unicode glyph texture limit), and export options including copy to clipboard and PNG download.

Usage & Information

How to Use Generated Tags

Using Your Pixel Art Tags:

Copy or save your generated tag as a PNG image
Java: Place image in resource pack's textures folder, reference in font JSON file, use unicode in-game. Keep the image within 256×256 px — Java Edition's unicode font glyph textures max out at that size, so watch the resolution readout under the preview and lower the render resolution (or shorten the text) if the width or height goes over 256
Bedrock: Place in font folder glyph file, use unicode based on image position
Use unicode converter tool for character codes
Can be used in LuckPerms roles (Java plugin) with assigned unicodes

Best Practices:

Keep text short for better readability at small sizes
Use high contrast between text and background colors
Test your tags in-game at different GUI scales
Consider using shadows for better text visibility on complex backgrounds

Font Information

About the Pixel Fonts:

This tool offers 5 pixel font families (each with a bold weight). Mono, Mono Square, Medium and Compact are original pixel fonts, each glyph was designed manually at pixel level. Due to the simple geometric nature of pixel letterforms, these basic letter patterns are not subject to copyright protection. The fifth, Minecraft (5x7), is a taller, game-accurate recreation of the Minecraft typeface (see the legal note below).

Available Font Types:

Mono (5x5): Standard monospace font, best readability
Mono Square (5x5): Bolder, blockier variant of Mono with square corners instead of rounded ones
Medium (4x5): Slightly narrower, good balance of size and clarity
Compact (3x5): Smallest option, ideal for longer text or tight spaces
Minecraft (5x7): Taller, game-accurate recreation of the classic Minecraft font, with proportional letter widths and authentic spacing
Bold toggle: Switch any family to a heavier weight with thickened vertical strokes for extra impact

Language Support:

Latin (A–Z): Full English alphabet, numbers, and common symbols
Cyrillic (А–Я): Russian alphabet plus extensions for Ukrainian (Є І Ї Ґ), Belarusian (Ў), Serbian (Ђ Ј Љ Њ Ћ Џ), and Bulgarian
Greek (Α–Ω): Full 24-letter Greek alphabet plus modern monotonic accented capitals (Ά Έ Ή Ί Ό Ύ Ώ Ϊ Ϋ)
Japanese Katakana (ア–ン): Full 46-character katakana set
Western European: French (À Â Ç É È Ê Ë Î Ï Ô Ù Û Ÿ Œ Æ), Spanish/Portuguese/Italian (Á Í Ó Ú Ý Ñ Ã Õ Ò Ì ¿ ¡), German (Ü, ß→SS), Dutch (IJ), Catalan

Technical Details:

Style: Bitmap pixel fonts (Mono, Medium and Compact are monospaced; the Minecraft family uses proportional letter widths)
Usage: Programmatically generated images only
Compatibility: Perfect for pixel art projects and retro interfaces

Legal Note: The Mono, Mono Square, Medium and Compact fonts are original hand-crafted designs. Due to the simple geometric nature of pixel letterforms, these patterns are not subject to copyright protection. The Minecraft (5x7) family is a fan-made pixel recreation of the Minecraft typeface, "Minecraft" is a trademark of Mojang Studios / Microsoft, and this tool is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by them. We use all of these patterns solely for generating images and do not distribute font files.

Advanced Features

Text Features:

5 Font Families: Mono (5x5), Mono Square (5x5), Medium (4x5), Compact (3x5), and Minecraft (5x7) pixel fonts, each with an optional bold weight
Multi-line Text: Press Enter in the text field to add a new line. Each line renders independently with 1px spacing between lines, and the background expands to fit.
Text Alignment: Align text center (default), left, or right. Alignment is applied per line, so multi-line tags can be flush-left, flush-right, or centered.
Letter Spacing: Adjust the gap between characters — 0 means letters touch, 1 is the default single-pixel gap, and negative values let glyphs overlap.
Gradient Colors: Add multiple colors with per-color transparency and draggable gradient stop positions for precise control
Hard Colors Mode: Sharp color transitions instead of smooth gradient interpolation
Direction Control: Horizontal, vertical, 45° diagonal, -45° diagonal, and radial (center out) gradients
Text Shadow: 5 shadow positions (right, below, below-right, above, left) with custom color and transparency
Text Outline: Adjustable outline thickness (0-5 pixels) with custom color and transparency, plus per-side asymmetric thickness (top/right/bottom/left) for banner-style effects
Character Support: Latin (A–Z), Cyrillic (А–Я + Ukrainian/Belarusian/Serbian/Bulgarian extensions), Greek (Α–Ω + monotonic accents), Japanese Katakana (ア–ン), full Western European (French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Dutch, Catalan), Nordic (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Icelandic), Slavic Latin (Czech, Slovak, Polish, Slovenian, Croatian, Hungarian, Romanian), Baltic (Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian), punctuation (¿ ¡ „ " " « » – — …), currency (€ £ ¥ ₽ ₴ ₪), and symbols (© ® ™ ° №)

Background Options:

Gradient Backgrounds: Multiple colors with per-color transparency, draggable gradient stops, and hard color mode
Background Shadow: 5 shadow positions with custom color and transparency, plus a "match background" mode for color-matched darker shadows
Padding Control: Symmetric (horizontal/vertical) or asymmetric (top/right/bottom/left) padding, 0-10 pixels per side
Rounded Corners: Pixel-perfect rounded corners (0-10 pixels), with optional per-corner asymmetric mode (top-left/top-right/bottom-left/bottom-right) for unique tag shapes
Background Outline: Adjustable outline thickness with custom color and transparency, plus optional per-side asymmetric thickness (top/right/bottom/left). In asymmetric mode, a "Color per side" option exposes individual color and transparency pickers for each edge (top, right, bottom, left), with a corner color transition option that blends adjacent side colors at the corners instead of meeting in a sharp miter.
Background Emboss: A bevel effect applied to the background edge, giving a raised or inset look. Auto mode derives highlight (top/left) and shadow (bottom/right) colors directly from the background, so it always fits. Enabling Custom colors exposes per-side color pickers (top, right, bottom, left) with individual transparency sliders, and a corner color transition option that blends adjacent side colors at corners instead of cutting sharply. An Asymmetric toggle gives each side its own thickness (0 = that side off), so you can make a top/bottom-only bevel; at rounded corners the active side wraps the curve cleanly with its own color. An "Inset behind outline" option shifts the bevel inward by the background outline's thickness so it sits just inside the outline ring instead of overlapping it — combine asymmetric thickness, per-side colors, an outline, and inset to build a double-outline / framed look where the inner ring rounds concentrically with the outer one.

Icon Features:

Upload Custom Icons: Drag and drop or click to upload pixel art icons in any resolution, multiple files at once
Flexible Positioning: Place icons before, after, above, or below text
Pixel-Perfect Nudging: Arrow buttons to adjust icon position pixel-by-pixel with a reset button
Icon Shadows: Per-icon shadow toggle, fully independent of text shadow. When the text shadow is enabled, the icon checkbox auto-ticks so the icon inherits the same direction/color/opacity. You can uncheck any icon to opt out, or enable an icon's shadow even when text shadow is off (uses the saved direction).
Icon Outline: Per-icon outline toggle that mirrors the shadow behavior - auto-ticks when text outline turns on, can be enabled/disabled per-icon at any time, and inherits text outline thickness, color, and opacity.
Standalone Icon Islands: Optional toggle that carves the background into separate islands (icon island + main island) with transparent gaps between them, controlled by the Icon Spacing value. Each island is treated as a standalone shape - its own rounded corners, its own outline, all four perimeter sides drawn.
Compact Icon Padding: Optional toggle (paired with Standalone Icon Islands) that uses 1px padding around the icon island instead of inheriting the bigger background padding - gives icons a tight "badge" look while the main island keeps its breathing room.
Render Order: Toggle icons to render in front of or behind text for layering control
Icon Transparency: Per-icon transparency slider (0-100%)
Icon Spacing: Adjust space between icons and text (-10 to 10 pixels, supports negative values for overlapping effects)
Layer Management: Reorder icons to control stacking order

Preview & Export:

Live Preview: Real-time canvas preview with pinnable mode that stays visible while scrolling
Render Resolution: Render and export at 1×, 2×, 4×, 8×, 16×, or 32× for smoother gradients, crisper rounded corners, and larger, more detailed output. The on-screen preview keeps its size; the multiplier raises the exported image's resolution.
Scale Effects with Resolution: On by default — at higher resolution the whole design (text, icons, border, padding, emboss, corners, outlines, shadows) scales up together. Turn it off to keep the effects and icons at a fixed fine pixel size, so raising the resolution buys finer detail (hairline borders, tighter spacing) instead of a bigger copy of the same design.
Resolution Readout: The exact pixel size of the exported image (width × height px) is shown right below the preview and updates live as you edit text, padding, effects, or the render multiplier — so you always know the true output dimensions before copying or saving. Handy for staying inside Minecraft Java's 256×256 px unicode glyph texture limit — if either dimension climbs above 256, drop the render resolution or shorten the text before adding the tag as a Java unicode glyph (Bedrock and general image use aren't bound by this).
