Minecraft Sword Perler Bead Pattern Settings

A simple diagonal sword is a strong beginner project because it has a clear outline and only a few color groups.

Use this page as a settings recipe for creating a sword-style bead pattern from your own reference image. Upload the image, apply the settings, then export the grid and bead counts.

Grid

32-48 columns depending on how large you want the finished piece.

Colors

8-12 colors usually covers blade, handle, outline, and highlights.

Dithering

Off. Clean pixel edges matter more than smooth gradients.

Build notes

Diagonal tools can become fragile if the blade is too thin. If the generated pattern has isolated beads along the edge, increase the width or strengthen the outline before exporting.

  • Use a dark outline for readability.
  • Merge low-count highlight colors when possible.
  • Print the material list before buying beads.
