What Materials Do You Need?
Crafting paintings requires just two easily obtainable materials:
Wool: Shear a sheep! Any color will work.
Sticks: Punch any tree to get wooden planks, then craft sticks from them in your crafting inventory.
Now that we have our ingredients, let's create!
How to Make a Painting
Open your crafting window. Arrange the wool in the center square, surrounded by the sticks, as shown below.
Congratulations! You've crafted your very own Minecraft painting, ready to brighten your walls.
How to Hang a Painting
Hanging your artwork is simple. Just hold the painting and right-click on a wall.
The image is random, adding an element of surprise! To precisely position a larger painting, mark the area with blocks, place the painting in the bottom-left corner, and watch it expand.
Note: North/South facing paintings are brighter than East/West facing ones.
Can You Create Custom Paintings?
Not without modifying game files. Custom paintings are possible only through resource packs.
