Earns its place in the superhive library as a free, non-destructive way to voxelize Blender meshes, with block color pulled from existing materials or textures.
Free Blocks Generator is a Blender addon from Blender Procedural that turns any object into Minecraft-style blocks. It gives you custom control over block size and resolution, and it samples color directly from an object's materials or textures. The workflow stays non-destructive through modifiers, so the original mesh remains intact while you experiment.
Using it follows a short sequence: select your object, adjust the voxel resolution and block size, then hit Apply to transform the mesh into blocks. It works with characters, props, terrain and more, and suits stylized renders, voxel art, or Minecraft-styled mashups.
The addon supports Blender 4.0 through 4.5, with Cycles listed as the render engine used. It is released under the GPL license and is listed here as free. For current licensing and download details, check the developer's page.
Free Blocks Generator is best for blender artists making stylized renders, voxel art, or Minecraft-styled mashups from characters, props, or terrain.
Free Blocks Generator is completely free to download and use.
Free Blocks Generator supports Blender versions 4.0 through 4.5, so it fits current releases across that range. Cycles is listed as the render engine used for this addon. If you are running a Blender version inside the 4.0 to 4.5 span, the addon is intended to work with it. For the most current compatibility and any details beyond that range, check the developer's page before downloading.
Free Blocks Generator follows a short sequence. First you select your object, then you adjust the voxel resolution and block size to your liking, and finally you hit Apply to transform the mesh into blocks. The process runs as a non-destructive workflow using modifiers, so you can change settings without permanently altering the source object. It works across characters, props, terrain and more, giving you the same blocky result on a range of mesh types.
Free Blocks Generator keeps a non-destructive workflow using modifiers, which means the block effect is applied without baking over your original mesh. You can adjust the voxel resolution and block size as you go, and the source object stays intact underneath. This suits iterative work where you want to test different block sizes on characters, props, or terrain. Color sampling pulls from the object's existing materials or textures, so the blocks reflect the source appearance.
Free Blocks Generator is listed here as free and released under the GPL license. Beyond the download itself, the developer offers an option to support their work directly. Because licensing and terms can change over time, check the developer's page for the current details before you download. The addon comes from Blender Procedural, and the free listing covers the core tool for converting objects into Minecraft-style blocks with custom size and resolution control.
