Minecraft Brush PNG

The Brush exactly as it looks in the Minecraft 26.3 inventory, as a transparent PNG. It is the render of the item itself, not a loose texture: what you see in your hand and in chests. In the creative inventory it sits in the “Tools” tab.

Sizes and quality

The Brush render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

In the full tool you can add a shadow or shine, animate it as a video or use it for a tiled background, alongside the game’s 1,700+ items.

The Minecraft brush: archaeology and armadillos

The brush is the archaeology tool. It digs out the suspicious sand and gravel found in ruins and pyramids, and collects scutes from armadillos. Used on any other block it only plays the brushing animation, harming neither the block nor the brush.

Brushing a suspicious block takes 4.8 seconds. As you go, the item slowly emerges until it drops, and the block turns into normal sand or gravel. Each block costs 1 durability. Stop halfway and the block slowly returns to its starting state, so finish in one go. And do not mine it: breaking the block destroys whatever was inside.

Armadillos cost more. Each brushing gives one armadillo scute, the material for wolf armour, but uses 16 durability. A fresh unenchanted brush manages four in Java and five in Bedrock.

Like other tools, two brushes combine at an anvil keeping both sets of enchantments, and it accepts enchantments such as Unbreaking or Mending.
