Choosing Specific Paintings Using the Easel

In vanilla Minecraft, hanging a painting normally cycles through random designs until you happen to get the one you want. The Easel block eliminates this guesswork by giving you direct access to a visual selection menu.

Opening the Painting Selection Menu

1. Place an Easel block down in your build.

2. Hold any standard painting item in your main hand.

3. Right-click the Easel with the painting. A graphical interface will open on your screen.

4. Browse through the available painting variants displayed in the menu, which includes both vanilla options and modded designs.

5. Click on the exact painting you want to set it onto the Easel.

Retrieving Your Selected Painting

If you want to take your artwork down or move it to another wall in your base, you do not need to break the block.

1. Clear your main hand so it is empty.

2. Hold your sneak key (default Shift).

3. Right-click the Easel while sneaking and holding nothing. The chosen painting will detach and return directly to your inventory.
