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
  • 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 Font:

This tool uses a 5x5 pixel font pattern commonly known as "Retro 5x5" or "Monofont 5x5", which has been widely used since the early 2000s in various forms. Due to its simple geometric nature and numerous independent implementations over the years, this basic letter pattern represents common typographic knowledge rather than copyrightable expression.

Technical Details:

  • Grid Size: 5x5 pixels per character
  • Style: Monospace bitmap font
  • Usage: Programmatically generated images only
  • Compatibility: Perfect for pixel art projects and retro interfaces

Legal Note: The basic geometric patterns used for letter shapes in a 5x5 grid represent fundamental typographic forms that are not subject to copyright protection. We use these patterns solely for generating images and do not distribute font files.
