The brief

Minecraft players jump between dozens of ad-heavy sites to plan a build, find a village in their seed, fix a crash or make a skin, and most of those sites get the numbers wrong. We built PickaxeKit as one fast, private place for all of it, with numbers that come from the game's own data and tools that work on a phone at the build site.

The result

Players get 66 tools, a skin gallery and weekly contests in one place, free and without an account, and every tool works on a phone while they build.

Tools, a community and contests on one site

Players start from a goal, open the tool made for it, and can share every result with a link.
