# Drawing Board

Drawing Board is a mod for creating and sharing pixel art in-game. Draw on custom drawing paper, display finished artwork above your character, store it in an art album, or place it on any side of a block, including the top and bottom.

## Crafting

- **Drawing Paper:** place two paper items horizontally in a crafting grid.
- **Art Album:** place one paper in the center and leather in all eight surrounding slots.

## Drawing Paper

1. Hold drawing paper in your main hand.
2. Press **Shift + Right-click** to open the editor.
3. Draw with the pencil, fill tool, or eraser.
4. Use the color palette to select, add, reorder, or remove colors.
5. Click **Save**. The first save asks for a name and turns the paper into a finished artwork.

Finished artwork keeps its name and can stack with identical artwork up to 16 items.

## Displaying And Placing Artwork

- Hold finished artwork and **left-click** to display it.
  - In first person, it appears in the lower-right HUD with an entrance and exit animation.
  - In third person, it appears above the player's head.
- **Right-click a block face** to place the artwork on that surface.
- Artwork can be placed on the north, south, east, west, top, or bottom face of a block.
- A placed artwork can be broken and collected again.
- **Shift + Right-click** finished artwork in the world to edit it. Editing cancels its active display.
