Joy of Painting

This mod has been updated by us for SMPOnline and may not have official versions available elsewhere on 1.21.4. Please be careful where you download mods from - beware of Malware!

Note that Claim tuners may become available later in the season to allow more precise access of Easels and Canvases, specifically to allow Claims where players can place/remove Canvases and paint on them, but can't affect the Easels or place Easels/blocks themselves. Think of a public art studio or something.

Joy of Painting is a cool mod that lets you paint on Canvases of various sizes, all within the game itself. It's easy to burn a few hours just painting with this mod, so be warned. It's also extremely cheap to craft the items for this mod, so... expect folks to start hunting for palettes right away.

Crafting


Palette

The Palette is essential for painting because it holds your color options. You can put all 16 dyes into a Palette to get easy access to their colors, as well as 12 custom colors you can create by mixing colors together.

Canvas

Canvases are what you paint on. There are 4 size of canvas: Normal, Long, Tall, and Large. Long and Tall canvases are double the size of the normal canvas, whereas the Large is 4x the size of the normal canvas.

Easel

In order to paint, you'll need an Easel to put your paintings on. These are extremely cheap and can be placed anywhere.

Usage


Placing Easels

You can place an Easel anywhere you can place an Armor Stand - they're technically the same thing as far as the server is concerned. They even appear as Armor Stands for players without the Joy of Painting mod, albeit with different functionality than normal. To remove an Easel, just punch it. You may need to punch it again if your first punch removed a Canvas from it.

Painting

As long as you can Build in a claim, you can paint on any Easels there.
