Fast Paintings — Guide

Getting Started

Install the Moonlight library (required dependency) alongside Fast Paintings.
Obtain a painting item exactly like in vanilla — craft it with 8 sticks around 1 wool, or grab it from the Creative inventory.
Hold the painting in your main hand and right-click a wall block to place a single painting tile flush against it.
Keep placing tiles next to each other to grow the picture, or break a tile with your hand or any tool to pick it back up.

Features

Block-based paintings

Paintings become thin blocks that snap flat against any wall surface, with none of the random sizing or loose placement of vanilla painting entities.

One-by-one placement

Place a single painting tile at a time, exactly on the block you are pointing at — perfect for lining up art on a wall.

Seamless combining

Place painting tiles directly next to each other and they automatically merge into a single larger painting, letting you build 2x2, 4x2, or any custom-size artwork.

All vanilla variants

Every classic Minecraft painting motif is available, keeping the familiar art while upgrading how it is placed.

Easy to place and remove

Since paintings are blocks, they break and drop like any other block and can be picked back up, so redecorating is quick and safe.

Customizable models

The painting block model can be customized through resource packs for players who want a different frame or look.

Placing & Combining Paintings

Single tile: aim at a wall and right-click with a painting in hand. One 1x1 painting block appears flush against that wall face, showing a random supported motif.

Larger art: place additional painting tiles on the same wall directly adjacent to an existing one. Neighbouring tiles link up and render as a single, larger painting spanning all of them — so a 2-wide by 2-tall square of tiles becomes one 2x2 painting.

Facing: each painting faces away from the wall it is attached to, so it always shows its art toward the open side of the room.

Removing: break any tile of a combined painting to take just that piece back; the rest of the artwork stays in place.
