Block 3D Scanner — with Export to Minecraft Java Edition is a free app that allows you to scan the real world into 3D block models looking like as if they were from a block crafting game. You basically convert the real world into a block world!

Block 3D Scanner allows you to experiment with several texture resolutions and block sizes to achieve either more game-like look or a real-world look of the 3D model.

What is more, you can even export your 3D models to Minecraft and .OBJ! The export to Minecraft (Java Edition + Forge install required) is enabled by our special free mod that is also available with the free version of the app together with a detailed tutorial.

How to scan — tips:
- move the device slowly to avoid motion blur
- avoid scanning surfaces without texture (like empty walls) or reflective surfaces
- the best results can be obtained when scanning indoors — for example try to scan your room!
- test scanning in different environments with diverse settings to gain experience and improve results

This is an early version of the app, we will be grateful for any feedback and suggestions on future improvements and features. Currently the app is only available on devices that support ARCore and Depth API.
