Golf Your Favorite Minecraft Tool

Question

In Minecraft, the default item textures are all reasonably simple 16×16 pixel images, which makes them seem ideal for golfing.

Below are simplified textures of the five "core" diamond tools in Minecraft: pickaxe, shovel, axe, sword, and hoe.

The images shown are enlarged to show their detail. Click on an image to view its correctly sized 16×16 pixel version.

To make golfing easier, I've modified each of them from the originals to only use the five same 24-bit RGB colors:

• R=75 G=82 B=73 for the background.
• R=51 G=235 B=203 for the diamond tool heads.
• R=14 G=63 B=54 for the diamond outlines.
• R=137 G=103 B=39 for the wooden handle core.
• R=40 G=30 B=11 for the wooden handle outlines.

Choose your favorite tool out of the five and write a program that outputs its simplified 16×16 pixel texture in any common lossless truecolor image format (such as bpm, png, ppm, etc.).

So, for example, if you chose the axe, you would write a program that outputs this image:

No input should be taken and a web connection should not be required. The image can be output as a file with the name of your choice, or the raw image file data can be output to stdout, or you can simply display the image.

You only need to choose one of the five images. The program that outputs any one of the five images in the fewest number of bytes is the winner.

You may write programs for more than one of the images, but only the one with the minimum number of bytes counts towards your score. If there's a tie, the highest voted post wins.

I've chosen the shovel.

'P3NGSGN255N]o67T"vîþáy$<OW¥ÓNZ"256b9b~99T]2/e~W%"LRI?6jêÌ'
f-":i3/f=F,_W%:)+{)/(\:~}%{G/({)S*S+oNo}%1>\:~+}G*

Test it here.

This program prints a PPM file to STDOUT.

I used this script to help with encoding the image. (This is mostly for myself if I need to reuse it later.)

The basic idea is to unroll the image along antidiagonals and then use run-length encoding. With this technique, the shovel contains the fewest runs. For reference the number of runs per image (in the order given in the challenge) is:

{60, 26, 38, 43, 37}

I'll add more explanation when I'm done golfing this.

Answer 2

JavaScript ES6, 353 bytes

document.write(`<p style="width:1px;height:1px;box-shadow:${'931a31b31841940a40b40c41951a51b50c50d51e53f52b61c60d60e62f63c73d70e70f71b83c82d83e81a93b92c939a3aa2ba38b39b2ab37c38c29c36d37d28d35e36e27e34f35f26f34g35g3'.replace(/.../g,e=>(p=parseInt)(e[0],17)+`px ${p(e[1],17)}px 0 #${['33EBCB','0E3F36','896727','281E0B'][e[2]]},`)}9px 9px 0 8px #4B5249"`)

This heavily abuses CSS3 box-shadows to create a pixelized version of the image, in this case the Minecraft hoe. The Stack Snippet below uses ES5 for easy testing and is somewhat ungolfed (You'll have to zoom in to see it well).

  return parseInt(e[0],17)+'px '+parseInt(e[1],17)+'px 0 #'+['33EBCB','0E3F36','896727','281E0B'][e[2]]+','
})
document.write('<p style="width:1px;height:1px;box-shadow:'+s+'9px 9px 0 8px #4B5249"')

Answer 3

Since this is a minecraft problem, I will do a command block solution: 50 characters

summon ItemFrame ~1 ~0 ~0 {Item:{id:diamond_axe}}

creates an item frame showing an axe.

Of course someone had to answer the question with Minecraft. Place answer inside of a datapack, and run with /function <packname>:<filename>. The shovel is drawn relative to you in the +X and +Z direction. Colors are wrong but I'll count that as a language limitation ;)

But the shovel is actually made out of wood and diamonds!!!!

I chose to make the sword

from PIL import Image as IG, ImageColor as IC
s=IG.new('RGB',(16,16))
w='#6b6727'
b='#4b5249'
d='#33ebcb'
a='#0e3f36'
n='#281e0b'
t=b*13+a*3+b*12+a+d*2+a+b*11+a+d*3+a+b*10+a+d*3+a+b+b*9+a+d*3+a+b*2+b*8+a+d*3+a+b*3+b*2+a*2+b*3+a+d*3+a+b*4+b*2+a+d+a+b+a+d*3+a+b*5+b*3+a+d+a+d*3+a+b*6+b*3+a+d+a+d*2+a+b*7+b*4+a+d+a*2+b*8+b*3+n+w+a+d*2+a+b*7+b*2+n+w+n+b+a*2+d+a+b*6+a*2+w+n+b*4+a*2+b*6+a+d+a+b*13+a*3+b*13
s.putdata([IC.getrgb(t[i:i+7]) for i in range(0,len(t),7)])
s.save('s.png','PNG')

here is the output:

I created a string for each color, and combined them to get a string of hexadecimal numbers. Then I used the python image library to convert that string into an image.
