What materials will the player need?

Creating paintings in Minecraft requires minimal resources. You'll need just two basic materials that are easily obtainable in the game world.

Wool can be obtained by shearing sheep - any color will work perfectly.

Sticks are crafted from wooden planks, which you get by punching trees.

How to craft a painting

Open your crafting interface and arrange the materials with wool in the center surrounded by sticks.

The result will be a randomly generated artwork ready to decorate your builds.

Hanging your artwork

Simply right-click on a solid wall while holding the painting to place it. The game will automatically select a random design.

For specific placements:

1. Mark your desired area with solid blocks
2. Place the painting in the bottom-left corner
3. It will expand to fill the space

Painting brightness varies based on orientation - north/south facing appear brighter.

Creating custom paintings

Vanilla Minecraft doesn't support custom paintings without modifying game files or using resource packs.

• Can function as light sources when placed over torches
