A Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that lets players upload real PNG images and place them as custom wall paintings.

Author: Dandusnehith
Platform: Minecraft Forge 1.20.1

Overview

More Paintings transforms the way players decorate their worlds.
Instead of cycling through the same vanilla paintings, this mod lets you upload any PNG image—art, screenshots, memes, logos, anything—and place it directly in‑game as a custom painting.

It’s simple, fast, and feels like a natural part of Minecraft Creative building.

Features

Dedicated Creative Tab
All custom painting tools are grouped in a new More Paintings tab.

Custom Painting Item
A special item that stores your uploaded PNG data.

In‑Game Upload GUI
Right‑click with the item to open a clean upload screen and pick a PNG from your computer.

Automatic Size Detection
The GUI shows your image’s width and height immediately.

Wall Placement
Right‑click a wall face to place your custom painting in the world.

Persistent Data
Painting data is stored via block entity NBT and saved with the world.

Built‑in Credit
The GUI includes: Mod made by Dandusnehith.
