Privacy
MineTexture has no accounts and no ads. We collect anonymous, aggregated usage statistics (such as the number of packs created) to display on our public Stats page. Your actual packs and data stay in your browser unless you export them or share them in a room.
Last updated 24 September 2026.
What’s stored on your device
- Your packs are saved in this browser’s storage (IndexedDB) as you work. Delete a pack from the Packs screen, or clear the site’s data in your browser, to remove it.
- Minecraft assets you download (the client jar, asset index, sounds and language files) are cached with the browser’s Cache Storage so they don’t download again.
- Preferences such as toolset, palettes, panel sizes, shortcuts and the name you use in rooms are kept in local storage. The small editor on the home page keeps your drawing there too.
None of this leaves your device on its own, except for anonymous usage telemetry.
Anonymous Statistics
To power our Global Stats page, MineTexture sends anonymous, untraceable pings when significant actions occur (such as creating a pack or generating an animation). These pings contain absolutely no identifying information, project data, or IP addresses, and are used solely to aggregate community milestones.
What your browser downloads, and from where
MineTexture doesn’t bundle or host Minecraft files. When you pick a version, your browser requests them directly:
- Mojang (
piston-meta.mojang.com,piston-data.mojang.com,resources.download.minecraft.net): the version list, the client jar and the asset index. - GitHub (
raw.githubusercontent.com, the public misode/mcmeta repository): sound files and language files, because Mojang’s sound server doesn’t reliably allow browser downloads. The home page also loads a few block textures from here for its demos.
Like any web request, these services see your IP address and browser details. Their own privacy policies apply.
Rooms
When you create or join a room, your browser connects to other people in the room directly (WebRTC). To find each other, browsers announce the room through public Nostr relays. What goes through the relays is connection information, encrypted with the room code. The pack itself, your edits, your cursor position and the name you enter travel directly between the browsers in the room, encrypted.
Anyone with the room code can join and edit. Only share it with people you trust, and leave the room when you’re done.
Direct connections may use Google’s public STUN server to work out a route between browsers. STUN sees IP addresses, not pack data.
Files you open or record
Images, packs, project files and audio you open are read in your browser. Microphone recording starts only when you press Record, and the recording is used only in the sound editor.
Minecraft
MineTexture is not an official Minecraft product and is not approved by or associated with Mojang or Microsoft. Minecraft is a trademark of Mojang AB. Use of Minecraft assets is subject to the Minecraft EULA.
