Minecraft SVG Drawing

To begin creating your Minecraft masterpiece, you'll first need an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file, which is a type of digital image composed of vectors rather than pixels. This allows for seamless scaling in size without losing quality. We'll be using the Coördinator tool to convert these SVG files into a format that can be used within Minecraft.

Using Coördinator to Import and Prepare SVG Files

1. Access the Coördinator Tool: Open your preferred web browser and navigate to the Coördinator tool at https://spotify.github.io/coordinator/.
   
   

2. Interface Overview: Familiarize yourself with the Coördinator interface which is categorized into three key areas:
   Import SVG: This is where you can upload your SVG file or utilize the example provided by Coördinator.
   Refine Dots: Here you have the ability to adjust the density of the points.
   Get Coordinates: This area will display the list of coordinates for your SVG.
   
   

3. Choosing the Example Bunny SVG:
   The Coördinator tool conveniently loads with a bunny SVG example already on the canvas, represented by a series of pink dots outlining the shape.

4. Importing Your SVG (Optional):
   To use your personal SVG file, simply click on 'SELECT FILE' in the 'Import SVG' section and choose your file.
   After uploading, your SVG will replace the example on the canvas.
   
   

5. Preparing the SVG:
   Directly paste the SVG code into the text box if you have the raw SVG data.
   You can also modify the SVG code right in the text box to tweak your image as needed.
   
   

6. Adjusting the SVG:
   The Coördinator offers features to refine the dot placement, allowing you to either simplify your SVG for a less complex Minecraft structure or add more points for a detailed build.

Selecting and Copying the Coordinates

• Once your SVG is loaded and you're satisfied with the dot distribution, it's time to grab the coordinates.

• Click inside the coordinates text-box where the series of points is displayed.

• To select all the text containing the coordinates:

  • If you're using a Mac, press Command + A to highlight all the text.

  • For PC users, press Ctrl + A to select everything.

• After selecting the text, copy it to your clipboard:

  • On a Mac, use Command + C.

  • On a PC, use Ctrl + C.

These shortcuts will ensure you can quickly and efficiently copy the coordinates for the next steps where you will inject them into your Minecraft world using Microsoft MakeCode. It's important to ensure you've copied all the points to avoid any missing parts in your Minecraft creation. ❖
