Bi-Stage Pipeline Overview
BLOCK decomposes the complex problem of character-to-skin generation into two manageable stages. Stage-1 leverages a large multimodal model (MLLM) to synthesize a coherent Minecraft-style 3D preview from arbitrary character concepts. Stage-2 then uses a fine-tuned diffusion model to translate this preview into a pixel-perfect 64x64 UV skin atlas.
This design ensures robust semantic understanding, style consistency, and strict adherence to Minecraft's UV structure, overcoming the brittleness of single-stage approaches.
Progressive Fine-Tuning with EvolveLoRA
To improve training stability and efficiency, BLOCK introduces EvolveLoRA, a progressive adapter initialization curriculum. This method fine-tunes the FLUX.2 model in three phases: (i) text-to-image pre-adaptation, (ii) image-to-image adaptation from front/back renders, and (iii) the final preview-to-atlas adaptation.
Each subsequent phase initializes its LoRA weights from the adapter obtained in the previous phase, accelerating convergence and effectively evolving task difficulty.
Current Limitations & Future Directions
While BLOCK offers significant advancements, areas for future work include addressing cases where the MLLM (Stage-1) doesn't compress visual details aggressively enough, leading to aliasing in the final 64x64 skin. Future work will investigate fine-tuning Stage-2 models to learn detail compression.
Long-term goals include direct view-to-skin generation without an explicit Stage-1, improving data coverage for rare accessories, and potentially replacing the proprietary MLLM with a fine-tuned open model to enhance accessibility.

Your Path to Automated Skin Generation
A structured approach ensures seamless integration and maximum impact with BLOCK's capabilities.
Phase 1: MLLM Character-to-Preview
Leverage Gemini Nano Banana Pro for consistent dual-panel preview generation, ensuring precise interpretation of character concepts into Minecraft-style visuals.
Phase 2: Preview-to-Atlas Decoding
Fine-tune FLUX.2 using EvolveLoRA for high-fidelity UV atlas generation, translating the visual preview into a valid, pixel-perfect 64x64 Minecraft skin structure.
Phase 3: Deterministic Output Validation
Implement deterministic decoding and validation to ensure 64x64 RGBA skin validity, correct part placement, and clean boundaries, ready for immediate use in Minecraft.
