Field notes
Block Render uses separate URL paths for block renders and item sprites, with query parameters controlling dimensions, orientation, biome colour, background, and cropping. Its catalogue pages expose the underlying 16×16 textures and dominant colours, while JSON endpoints list identifiers and categories. The site pins its stated asset source to Minecraft Java Edition 26.2 and describes deterministic output, strong ETags, and memory caching for repeated requests.
