	~~People have~~ used ~~the map~~ to create pixel art. The default map has an image size of 128×128 and reads each block as a specific color. By placing blocks in a specific arrangement, it is possible to create pixel art images. Constructing the image covers a square area 8 chunks on a side, and requires 16,384 blocks (256 stacks worth) not counting any support blocks.		Maps can be used to create pixel art. The default map has an image size of 128×128 and reads each block as a specific color. By placing blocks in a specific arrangement, it is possible to create pixel art images. Constructing the image covers a square area 8 chunks on a side, and requires 16,384 blocks (256 stacks worth) not counting any support blocks.

	Two methods exist for creating map pixel art: flat and staircase. The flat method involves laying the pixel image across a flat surface, effectively creating a floor. The flat method is the easier of the two methods, but offers a smaller palette of only 61 colors. The staircase method offers 183 colors, but is much more complicated to use. In the staircase method, blocks are placed at different elevations to obtain specific color variations. A block's color is darker if placed at a lower elevation than the block north of it, or brighter if placed at a higher elevation than the block north of it. (This is a case of the mapping convention of [[Wikipedia:Top-left lighting\|top lighting]].)		Two methods exist for creating map pixel art: flat and staircase.
