Fast Paintings: Painting Rendering and Custom Models

What Fast Paintings Changes

Fast Paintings is a small, single-purpose mod that targets one thing: how paintings are rendered in the world. Instead of treating each painting as a fully rendered entity, it optimizes the rendering path so that paintings cost less to draw. This matters most in builds where many paintings hang on walls at once, since the vanilla approach can add up quickly.

The mod also enables custom painting models. This means paintings are no longer locked to the flat vanilla rendering style, and resource packs or model definitions can supply their own painting models instead.

The Painting

The only block or item involved is the Painting. Its behavior in-world is unchanged: you still place it on a wall and it still occupies the same space. What changes is behind the scenes, in rendering and in which model is used. No new items, recipes, or crafting steps are added, so existing paintings in a world keep working as before.
