# Myrlin Forge
> Myrlin Forge, formerly Myrlin Studio, is an AI generator for blocky 3D models and painted textures. Its native workflow delivers editable Hytale .blockymodel and PNG source files that creators can refine in Blockbench with the Hytale plugin. A finished model can also be downloaded for Minecraft Java as a resource pack, mod resources or server plugin files.

Updated 28 October 2026.

Myrlin Forge was called Myrlin Studio until October 2026 and lives at https://forge.myrlin.io; both names mean the same product.

## Free models
Free models (https://forge.myrlin.io/archive) is Myrlin Forge's free library: 713 models made with AI in Myrlin Forge on 28 October 2026, almost all of them Hytale .blockymodel files with their PNG textures, plus a few Minecraft Java models. Anyone can browse them; downloading needs a free Myrlin account. They are free for personal and commercial use in your own Hytale or Minecraft projects; do not resell or redistribute the files as-is.

## Short answers
- Is Myrlin Forge an AI Minecraft model generator? Yes. Describe a model or upload a picture and it builds a blocky 3D model with a painted texture, downloadable for Minecraft Java as a resource pack (Java 26.3, 26.2 and 1.21.11), mod resources or server plugin files. It does not make Bedrock add-ons. See https://forge.myrlin.io/minecraft.
- Is it a Hytale model generator? Yes. Its native output is an editable Hytale .blockymodel with its PNG texture, which opens in Blockbench with the Hytale Models plugin. See https://forge.myrlin.io/hytale.
- Does it work with Blockbench? Yes. The model and texture open in Blockbench for editing. See https://forge.myrlin.io/blockbench.
- Can it start from a picture? Yes. See https://forge.myrlin.io/image-to-minecraft-model.
- Can I sell what I make? Every model you build is yours to use in your own games, servers, mods and videos, in paid client work, and to sell as part of what you make. Free library downloads can go into your own projects but may not be resold as standalone assets. See https://forge.myrlin.io/pricing.
- What does it cost? New accounts start with free credits; each build shows its credit price before it starts and failed builds are refunded. Plans and credit packs are on https://forge.myrlin.io/pricing.

Builds have saved pages and history. Reported stages and saved previews show progress; previews appear when the build supplies them. Builds take several minutes, with additional time for queues or review. The waiting animation is abstract, not the user's generated model.

Download the model and its texture together. Inspect .blockymodel source in Blockbench with the Hytale plugin. Public gallery model pages list a General download (ZIP with the .blockymodel, PNG texture, saved clips and inventory images), a Hytale download (one ZIP for the Hytale Mods folder), a Minecraft Java download (resource pack, mod resources or server plugin files) and a More formats export of the static model as GLB, glTF, OBJ, FBX, STL or PLY. Downloads are free with a Myrlin account. Game definitions, bindings and game testing are separate from model-source delivery. Some legacy results also offer VOX, .bbmodel or Bedrock geometry according to the saved source.

## Hytale model guides
A .blockymodel is the Hytale model format: JSON text holding a tree of named nodes, each a cube, a flat quad or an empty group, with the pixel offsets of every face on a separate PNG texture. Blockbench reads and writes it with the Hytale Models plugin. These guides explain the format and its rules from Hytale's own posts and docs, checked against Hytale 0.7.2 on 17 October 2026.

## AI connection (MCP)
Myrlin Forge has an MCP server at https://api.myrlin.io/mcp. It lets an AI app such as Claude, ChatGPT or Codex use a signed-in person's models (My models): find models, download Hytale and Minecraft packages, and start new builds that are quoted first and charged only after the person agrees. Free accounts can start up to 3 builds a day through the AI connection; builds use credits.

- [Add a Myrlin Forge model to a Hytale or Minecraft project](https://forge.myrlin.io/docs/mcp/integrate)
- [The same guides as plain markdown for agents](https://forge.myrlin.io/docs/mcp.md)

Use current pricing and the selected action's quote before confirming a build. Do not infer a fixed asset price or a free completed asset from a signup balance.
