Paintings Won't Place

Ensure you're right-clicking on a solid block face. Paintings require:

  • A full block (not stairs, slabs, or transparent blocks)
  • At least one empty space on the other side of that block
  • Enough wall space for the painting's size

Paintings Look Wrong or Stretched

This is normal—Jurassic paintings vary in dimensions, just like vanilla paintings. Some are tall, some are wide. If the artwork doesn't fit your space, break it and try placing another.

Paintings Disappear

Paintings are fragile. They break if:

  • The block they're attached to is destroyed
  • A piston pushes the block
  • Water or lava flows over them

Always build stable walls and avoid placing paintings near moving mechanisms. If you want to relocate a painting, break it carefully and place a new one elsewhere.
