Gameplay

• Right-click Custom Painting item to open upload UI.
• Select a PNG, optionally name it, and save to the item.
• Place uploaded painting onto a valid wall face.
• Painting keeps uploaded data when broken and dropped back as item.
• Custom hover name is applied based on uploaded image name.

Validation and Safety

• PNG file size hard limit: 1 MB.
• Upload rejected if:
• No valid player/item context
• Width/height is invalid
• PNG byte payload is empty or exceeds max size
• Placement rejected if:
• Item has no uploaded PNG data
• Target is not a horizontal wall face
• Target position cannot be replaced
• Wall support is invalid

Rendering

• Custom block uses block-entity renderer (ENTITYBLOCK_ANIMATED render shape).
• Uploaded PNG is decoded into a dynamic texture at runtime.
• Texture caching added to avoid redundant re-registration.
• Rendered quad scales to image aspect ratio within painting frame bounds.

Data Storage

• Painting data stored in NBT:
• ImageBytes
• ImageWidth
• ImageHeight
• ImageName
• Data persisted in both item stack NBT and placed block entity NBT.
• Update packet/tag support included for client sync after placement or load.

Build and Packaging

• Successful Gradle build and reobfuscation completed.
• Primary output JAR:
• build/libs/morepaintings-1.0.0.jar
• Desktop working copy produced:
• C:\Users\dandu_jhluw4e\Desktop\MorePaintings-working.jar
• Dev client run verified with Forge handshake and mod list including:
• minecraft
• forge
• morepaintings

Notes

• Project requires Java 17-compatible toolchain for reliable ForgeGradle behavior.
• Included helper script ensures local builds run with bundled Java 17.
