Paintings ++

What it does

Paintings++ is a mod that allows you to add more paintings to the game ! Customizable with up to 4 templates,with a range from 70 to over 300 new paintings !

Has a great compatibility with the Painting Selection GUI ! Select the paintings you want to place down with a cool interface !

Note on PSG : it was discontinued and I packed my own updated version of it in my Paintings++ Mod !

Downloads and Art Files

You can download the mod here
If you do not feel like drawing your own art files, you can choose some made by other users here

ADDING PAINTINGS

1.14.4

PNG Image Files

Make a ResourcePack with the following file structure :

• assets/paintings/textures/painting

All of your painting images go into the painting folder !
(note that there's two painting folder : one with and one without s. its very important !)

One image is One Painting. keep the image sizes in multiples from 16 !

the JSON file to register your paintings

make a json file with the following structure:

{
	"paintings" : [{
			"name" : "lagune", 
			"x" : 16, 
			"y" : 32
		}, {
			"name" : "flora_lightningstorm_2", 
			"square" : 64
		}]
}

You can use a JSON Parser to check if your file doesn't contain any errors.

• Every Entry is One Painting
• "name" is the name of your image file . In the example, we have a picture called lagune.png in our ResourcePack
• you can either use "x" and "y" to define the shape of the Painting.
• or you can use "square" to define a square shape for square paintings

Installing your ResourcePack

Put your ResourcePack in the resourcepack folder in your minecraft installation directory.
If you have already started the game once with the mod installed, there should now be a folder called paintings in your minecraft installation directory. it already contains one JSON called paintings.json and contains the data for the base paintings provided with the mod.
If you so desire to not use the paintings provided with the mod, you may delete that file.
Paste in your own json that you can call anything you'd like.
(some fun example are : "mycustompaintings.json" , "moreofthis.json", "nameSurnamePaintings.json", ...)

You can now restart the game and play.
if all is done well, and you had no typo's between your image files and json register file, then you should be golden.

If you happen to have missing texture issues, make sure to check your JSON file and image file names for any discrepancies !!
