About this tool
Real template, real font, 1579×1560 export
Captions are drawn in black 50px Minecraft text beside each block, wrapping at 785 pixels and stepping 70 pixels per line — the same layout the Crafty API and the Discord bot render. The download is the full-size 1579×1560 PNG.

Frequently asked questions
The format, the wrapping and the blocks
What is the observer meme? +
A two-panel Minecraft take on the Drake format: the top panel is an observer block turning away from the caption you reject, and the bottom is a dropper facing the one you approve of. It reads the same way — top is the bad idea, bottom is the good one.
How long can the captions be? +
Each panel gets 770 pixels of width at 50px, and the renderer wraps to a new line every 70 pixels — so long captions keep going down the panel rather than off the image. Roughly six lines fit beside each block before the text runs into the panel below.
Does the text wrap on whole words? +
No — it breaks at the exact character where the line runs out of room, which is what the server-side renderer does. If a word splits awkwardly, add a space or shorten the caption.
What is the difference between an observer and a dropper? +
An observer emits a one-tick redstone pulse when the block it faces changes; a dropper spits its inventory out one item at a time when powered. They look alike from the front, which is exactly why the meme works — and why so many redstone builds break.
