10 Minecraft Mural Ideas to Fix Your Boring Walls (2025)

You know that feeling.

You just finished your mega-base. The exterior looks amazing. You walk inside, ready to admire your work, and you're greeted by...

A giant, flat, grey wall of Stone Bricks.

It’s depressing. It looks like a prison. And putting a single painting of a skull on it doesn’t help.

I’ve been there. I used to try to break it up with pillars or leaves, but sometimes you just need art. Actual art.

Thanks to modern Image to Block Generators, you can now cover those ugly walls with essentially anything. Here are 10 ideas I’ve used to turn boring bases into galleries.

1. The "Fake Window"

This is my favorite trick for underground bases. Find a high-res photo of a beautiful landscape—maybe a Swiss mountain range or a cyberpunk city skyline. Convert it into a large map art (say, 3x2 maps). Place it on the wall and frame it with Trapdoors or Glass. Result: Suddenly your cave looks like a penthouse suite.

2. The Classic Album Cover

Got a music room? Don't just put Jukeboxes down. Create a 1x1 map art of your favorite real-life album covers. Dark Side of the Moon looks surprisingly good in Minecraft blocks. Pro Tip: Use Glow Item Frames to make them pop in the dark.

3. The "Server Map" (Dynmap Style)

If you run a server, take a screenshot of your world map (or use a tool to generate one). Convert it into a huge floor mural in your spawn chunks. Players love walking over a miniature version of the world they play in. It gives a real sense of scale.

4. Anime Portraits

Let’s be honest, half of you clicked this because you want to build anime characters. I’m not judging. Large vertical murals (pixel art style) of characters work great on the sides of skyscrapers or tall towers. Just make sure to turn Dithering OFF in our generator to keep the colors flat and cartoon-like.

5. The "Wanted" Poster

Running an SMP (Survival Multiplayer) server? Take a screenshot of your friend's skin face. Add some "WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE" text in Photoshop. Convert it to blocks and paste it around their base. It’s the ultimate prank.

6. Retro Game Screens

Minecraft is blocky. Mario is blocky. It’s a match made in heaven. Recreating the title screen of Super Mario Bros or The Legend of Zelda on a large wall hits that nostalgia button hard.

7. Company Logos

Building a modern city? You need ads. Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Apple... putting these logos on your buildings makes the city feel "lived in" and realistic. (Just don't get sued, okay?)

8. The "Mirror"

This one trips people up. Take a screenshot of the room you are standing in, but flipped horizontally. Build it as map art and place it on a wall. From a specific angle, it looks like a mirror reflection. It’s a great optical illusion.

9. QR Codes

Yes, they work. You can generate a functioning QR code that links to your Discord server or YouTube channel. Just make sure it's high contrast (Black Wool vs White Concrete).

10. Your Own Face (Narcissist Edition)

Why build a statue when you can have a photo-realistic portrait of yourself staring down at your visitors? It establishes dominance. I have a 128x128 portrait of my skin in my main hall. My friends hate it. I love it.

How to actually build these?

Don’t guess the blocks.

1. Go to our Image Converter.
2. Upload your image.
3. Dowload the Schematic (for Litematica) or just get the command if you are lazy.

Go fix those walls. They are embarrassing.
