We love a nice piece of pixel art here at Creative Bloq, and what better place to find it than in Minecraft? Everyone's favourite blocky sandbox game turns 15 this year, and it's marking the occasion with the addition of 15 new pixel paintings.

Available for you to use to  decorate your home or castle soon, the pieces might look a little familiar. That's because they're from the same artist who created most of the existing art in the game. Fans think they look just as good.
