Accurate miniature textures for all paintings, fixing the generic canvas item. Easily identify every artwork from your creative inventory. Those icons are clear, descriptive, and vanilla friendly!

Description

📋 ABOUT 📋

This pack replaces the generic painting items in the creative menu with accurate miniature previews of every painting in the game. Built around the native painting item system introduced in Minecraft 1.19.4, it brings complete visual clarity to your inventory.

To help you identify its proportions too, each miniature icon is scaled according to the actual size of the painting.

These icons are carefully crafted adaptations designed to make every painting easily recognizable at a glance. They are not simple downscales!

🧱 FEATURES 🧱

Every painting item directly displays its corresponding artwork, including hidden paintings!
Item icons are visually scaled based on the actual dimensions of the painting (1x1, 2x2, 4x3, etc.).
Complete 2.0 Overhaul: Rebuilt entirely from scratch to capture the true essence of each painting with even higher accuracy.

Different vanilla painting sizes

🧩 COMPATIBILITIES 🧩

From version 1.21.5 onwards, OptiFine is no longer required (completely vanilla-friendly!). For older versions (from 1.19.4 up to 1.21.4), OptiFine or a CIT-supporting mod is necessary for the custom item textures to work. I strongly recommend Variants-CIT, as this pack was expressly built to be compatible with it.

Note: This pack requires Minecraft 1.19.4 or higher, as it relies on the native painting item mechanics introduced in that version.
