Custom Paintings Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the painting GUI?
Place a painting block down on a wall, and the custom GUI will automatically open. You can then select your desired painting from the list before confirming placement.
Can I change a painting without breaking it?
Yes—right-click on an already-placed painting to reopen the GUI and select a different one without having to break and replace the block.
What paintings are available in this mod?
The mod includes all vanilla Minecraft paintings plus any additional custom paintings added by the mod. You can browse the full list by opening the GUI when placing or editing a painting.
Do I need to craft paintings differently with this mod?
No—paintings are crafted the same way as vanilla Minecraft. The mod only changes how you select which painting appears when you place it.
Can I use this mod with other painting mods?
Compatibility depends on how other mods handle paintings; check the mod's documentation or community forums for known conflicts, as some mods may override the same mechanics.
What happens if I place a painting in survival mode?
The GUI opens just like in creative mode, allowing you to choose your painting before it's placed on the wall.
Can I search or filter paintings in the GUI?
This depends on the mod version—check the GUI interface when placing a painting to see if search or sorting options are available.
Does this mod affect painting physics or placement rules?
No—paintings still follow vanilla rules for placement (must be on a solid wall) and size. The mod only changes the selection process.
Will this mod slow down my game?
The mod is lightweight and should have minimal performance impact, as it only adds a GUI interface without changing how paintings render or function.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, but all players on the server should have the mod installed for everyone to see the custom GUI and use the selection feature consistently.
