Instead of Hexcalibur
Hexcalibur alternatives
Hexcalibur is a browser-based pixel-art editor for voxel-game block textures. Its 3D preview shows a texture on a rotating cube and an L-stack, while pack workflows keep textures, references and a shared palette together. It also combines animation tools, tilemap editing and export presets for Minecraft, Tiled and several game engines. The free plan includes one pack and up to eight assets; paid plans add unlimited packs and assets, multi-shape preview, cloud sync and all engine export presets.

A different editor may suit you better if you need phone support, broader sprite-art workflows or a free option without Hexcalibur’s pack limits. Hexcalibur requires an Axidus account, is designed for desktop use and does not support phones; its free plan saves art in the browser, while cloud sync is paid. Compare each alternative’s animation, tile and export tools with the voxel-focused workflow you need, and consider whether its platform and storage approach fit. Pricing also matters: Hexcalibur starts at $5 per month, with annual and lifetime plans available.
