How to Use Custom Paintings Mod to Choose Exact Artwork

In vanilla Minecraft, placing a painting gives you a random design, forcing you to break and re-place it repeatedly until the right image appears. With Custom Paintings Mod installed, you still use the standard vanilla painting item, and the selection happens automatically when you place it.

Crafting a Painting

You do not need any special modded items to access the painting selector. Open a crafting table, place any block of wool in the center slot, and surround it with eight sticks to craft a standard vanilla painting.

Selecting Your Painting on the Wall

1. Hold the painting in your main hand or off-hand and walk up to a solid wall.

2. Right-click (or press your placement key) on the block face where you want the artwork to hang.

3.

4. Browse the available options shown inside the custom GUI and select the specific painting you require.

Once selected, your chosen artwork is placed directly onto the wall without needing to cycle through unwanted designs. If you change your mind later, simply punch the painting to drop the item and right-click the wall again to bring back the selection screen.
