GlymeraPaintings - 100 Framed Wall Paintings

50 motifs, each as a large 3x3 and a small 2x2 wall painting. Monsters, places, animals and heroes in a painterly Hytale style, sharp at twice the vanilla painting resolution. Own creative tab, optional survival recipes that hand out a random picture.

What is GlymeraPaintings?

Vanilla Hytale ships a handful of wall paintings. This pack adds 100 more: 50 motifs, every one of them available as a 3x3 painting for big halls and as a 2x2 for smaller rooms. All paintings use the vanilla painting mechanics - hang them on any solid wall, the frame turns towards you, the whole picture is clickable and drops back as the same item when you take it down.

Nothing is replaced or reskinned. The pack is purely additive.

The Collection

• 20 creatures - Grove Shaman, Bramble Raptor, Dune Colossus, Cave Ghoul, Cavern Spider, Void Watcher, Bone Titan, Void Maw, Crystal Stalker, Moss Golem and more
• 10 places - The Old Tavern, Lakeside Cottage, Desert Farmstead, Sand Fortress, Swamp Hut, Portal Shrine, Watchtower Ruin, Village Forge, River Mill, Jungle Portal

• 10 heroes - Forest Ranger, Amethyst Knight, Ember Knight, Aurora Warden, Blossom Samurai, Dune Raider, Swamp Explorer, Void Mage, Moonlit Assassin, Grove Warden

Every painting has its own inventory icon; the large and small versions are told apart by the icon size and the name suffix "(3x3)" / "(2x2)".

Creative Mode

A dedicated Paintings tab in the creative inventory with the sub-tabs Large (3x3) and Small (2x2). No scrolling through the deco list.

Survival: Mystery Paintings

Two recipes at the Furniture Bench (Misc tab). Both give you a random picture - you never know which motif you get until it is crafted.

The "Mystery Painting" placeholder is swapped for the real painting the moment the craft finishes. Every motif has the same chance.

Server Owners: Configuration

mods/de.glymera_GlymeraPaintings/config.json is written on the first start:

{
  "recipesEnabled": true,
  "leatherItemId": "Ingredient_Leather_Light",
  "essenceItemId": "Ingredient_Life_Essence_Concentrated",
  "smallLeather": 20,  "smallEssence": 2,
  "largeLeather": 30,  "largeEssence": 3,
  "benchId": "Furniture_Bench",  "benchCategory": "Furniture_Misc",
  "craftSeconds": 3.0
}

• recipesEnabled: false removes both recipes from every bench at the next server start. The paintings themselves stay available in creative mode.
• Ingredients, amounts, bench and craft time can be changed freely. Changes apply after a restart.

Installation

Drop GlymeraPaintings-<version>.jar into your server's mods/ folder and restart. Works in singleplayer worlds as well. The recipes live in a small generated folder mods/GlymeraPaintingsRecipes/ next to the jar - the plugin manages it, you can ignore it.

Technical Notes

• Pure asset pack for the paintings (blocks, models, textures, icons, language file); a tiny Java part handles the random swap and the recipe switch.
• Each motif shares one 192x192 texture between its 3x3 and 2x2 version - 100 paintings cost the client atlas the same as 50.
• Vanilla painting hitboxes are used for 2x2; 3x3 brings its own. The engine's filler blocks make the whole picture interactable.
• Removing the plugin turns placed paintings into unknown blocks; take them down first if you want to keep the items.
