Minecraft: Education Edition – How to add custom images or photos

Minecraft: Education Edition – How to add custom images or photos

How to add custom images and photos to Minecraft: Education Edition

One of the first activities teachers often ask of students in Minecraft: Education Edition, is to open a new world and create a house.

It’s not long before students have created a wide variety of dwellings with all sorts of swimming pools and farm animals around the place – but here’s how you can put your own image onto the wall of the house – well, on anything.

Importing a custom image or photo into Minecraft: Education Edition can seem technical at first – but after you have done it a couple of times you’ll see how easy it is.

As a teacher you can easily create worlds containing numerous custom images for students to explore – recreate art galleries; graffiti examples; billboards; fancy world signage; guides – anything.

Here are the steps to follow to import images and photos into a Minecraft: Education Edition world

1 – Download free – Image Map 3

Image Map 3 is a free app to turn your custom image into inventory items for placing in your Minecraft world.
Download the ZIP file, extract and run Image Map 3.exe and you will see the app open like the image below:

Minecraft custom image map import

2 – Drag and Drop your Minecraft: Education Edition world folder onto Image map 3 so it learns your Minecraft worlds location

On a PC your worlds folder will be located here: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Minecraft Education Edition\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds

On a Mac your worlds folder will be located here: HD > Users > [USERNAME] > Library > Application support > Minecraftpe > Games > com.mojang

To identify the world before you drag and drop it – navigate using Finder or File Explorer to your Minecraft world folder following the paths above for PC or Mac (you will need to enable viewing Hidden Files), open the folder and then open the file – levelname.txt to confirm the world you want to place the custom image into.  If you have lots of worlds just open the world you want to use, then in File Explorer sort by date last modified – the most recently opened world will be at the top of the list.

After identifying the correct world drag and drop the folder to Image Map 3 – this wont move it, it is only learning the location of your world so it can copy the image files into your Inventory in Minecraft.

3 – Drag the custom image or photo you want in your world to the Image Map 3 window

Browse your PC to the location of the custom image or photo and drag it onto the Image Map 3 window. Modify the Width and height settings to your preferred scale. The preview window shows how many blocks will be used in your world. In my Stormtrooper image I went with 2 by 5 to make it bigger and in proportion. Click Confirm

Image map 3 will now create individual inventory items which you can place to rebuild your custom image in Minecraft: Education Edition

import maps custom minecraft image map 3

4 – Check the box – Add new maps to inventory then click Send All to World.

That’s it.

Just open your Minecraft: Education Edition world and the Image map items will now be in your inventory. They will need to be placed on an Item Frame to be viewed (add these to your Inventory as well) so just place some blocks, add enough Item Frames required to display your image then place the individual map images onto the item frames in the right order!

Skin pack Creator for Minecraft

Game players love creating and customizing their character skins – their appearance. This guide shows you how you can customize your appearance in Minecraft: Education Edition.

If you want to do this on your iPad see the guide HERE

If you want to make a skin with Slim features use the app HERE

Minecraft Education Edition requires you to create a MCPACK file which contains all the files required for your custom Minecraft skin. The PNG image file and a couple of JSON files.  Matt’s work means you only need to have the PNG image and his online tool will create the JSON files and package those with your image into the MCPACK file required by Minecraft.

So now only a couple of steps are needed – lets get into it.

Step 1 – Create your Custom Minecraft Education Edition Skin

  • go to The Skindex – create, edit and download the PNG file required for your new custom Minecraft skin
  • (you can go to any site that has PNG files of skins, also see https://mcpedl.com/)

Step 2 – Create the MCPACK File

  • Complete the Form with the Name of your Skin, Name of your Skinpack and a Version number for your Skinpack (can be any number)
  • Browse to your custom skin PNG file and select
  • If you want to add more Skins to your skinpack click the Add another Skin button.
  • Save the generated MCPACK file containing everything for Minecraft Education Edition to your computer
  • double click the file which will trigger opening Minecraft Education Edition and the import of your new custom skin will happen automatically or open Minecraft Education Edition and choose to Import the MCPACK file.

After your MCPACK Skinpack file is imported it appears in the Skins section of Minecraft Education Edition for you to select

Updated: November 24 2020

NEW UPDATED POST – Click this link to my latest guide – there is now an even simpler method making use of a new Skin Pack Creator tool  – the tool will create the mcpack file for you).

In Minecraft you are able to click the Hangar on the Home page and choose a different “Skin” for your character. Your Skin – is what you look like in Minecraft.  When you click the Hangar you will see a number of Skin Packs available from which you can select a new Skin for your Character.

Check Out – YouTube Hacks for Students and Teachers 2021

But it’s not easy to import new Skins into Minecraft: Education Edition to select from. A Skin Pack requires three JSON files to exist along with the PNG image files of the Skins. There are free online Minecraft Skin makers available like – Minecraft Skins – where you can create and download the PNG image.  But I cant find anything to easily generate the JSON files needed. For this example I’m not going to work with the Slim character skins.

This guide takes you through the process of creating a Skin Pack and importing it into Minecraft: Education Edition.

 

Step One – get template files and images

Gather Resources to Create your Skin Pack

You’ll need the following to create your own Skin Pack for Minecraft: Education Edition

  • A short name for your skinpack
  • two PNG image files for the actual skin textures you want to use – check out Minecraftskins.net
  • Two unique Version 4 UUID numbers – generate these from UUIDgenerator.net
  • Three files to edit:
    • manifest.json
    • en_US.lang (or en_UK.lang depending on the Language you have set to use in Minecraft: Education Edition)
    • skins.json

Download an Example and a Template set of these files to customise for yourself from here

Below I will show you how to edit the Template files and use the Example files as my intended skin pack. So I will end up with a Skin Pack titled – Smythe Example Skin Pack, which contains two skins called HanSolo and Stormtrooper.

Step Two – Edit Files

Edit:   skins.json

Open from the template pack – skins.json
Replace all the following text variables (including the brackets) with your names

  • SkinA name = change to your first skin name
  • skina.png = change to your first skin filename
  • SkinB name = change to your second skin name
  • skinb.png = change to your second skin filename
  • Template = change to your Skin Pack name
Minecraft skins in Mincraft Education edition

Edit:   en_us.lang

Open from the template pack – en_us.lang (assuming that’s the Minecraft Language setting you’re using)
Replace all the following variables (including the brackets) with your names

  • Template = change to the name of your skin pack
  • SkinA name = change to your first skin name
  • SkinB name = change to your second skin name

Edit:   manifest.json

Open from the template pack – manifest.json
Replace all the following variables (including the brackets) with your names
Visit uuidgenerator.net to generate two unique UUID number for this file

  • Template = change to the name of your skin pack
  • first UUID  = generate UUID 1 from uuidgenerator.net using version 4 UUID
  • second UUID  = generate UUID 2 from uuidgenerator.net using version 4 UUID

Step3 – Create .mcpack file and install in Minecraft: Education Edition

Now that you have all your files ready, you need to create a compressed file to import into Minecraft: Education Edition

  1. Select all the Files in the template folder
  2. Right click and choose – Send to compressed (zipped) folder
Minecraft skins in Minecraft Education edition

Change the compressed file type from zip to mcpack

  1. In File Explorers View tab,
  2. make sure File Name Extensions is selected,
  3. change the zip text to mcpack
  4. click YES on the warning popup to accept the change

To install your Skin Pack into Minecraft: Education Edition:

  1. Open Minecraft: Education Edition
  2. Browse in File Explorer to your skin pack mcpack file and double click it. This will start the import into Minecraft:EE

Additional Notes

If you want to add more Skins to your Pack:

  • en_us.lang – add additional lines
  • skins.json – copy and paste the code section for SkinA and edit accordingly with skin name and file name
