Leon’s Secret Paintings Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get the secret paintings to spawn?
The secret elemental paintings spawn the same way vanilla paintings do—use a painting item on a wall. Since all four paintings are 2×2 in size, you'll need a 2×2 empty wall space for them to place successfully. If a painting doesn't appear, make sure you have enough wall space and try clicking a different spot on the wall.
Can I get all four elemental paintings or are they rare?
All four paintings (water, fire, earth, and air) can be obtained in a single world. They spawn with the same frequency as other paintings, so you may need to place multiple painting items to cycle through and find each one.
What's the best way to display all four paintings together?
Since each painting is 2×2 in size, you can arrange them in a 4×4 grid on a wall to display all four elemental paintings side by side. This creates a cohesive display that showcases the vibrant color palette of all the designs.
Do the secret paintings work on any block or only certain ones?
The secret paintings place on walls the same way vanilla paintings do—on the side of solid blocks. Any block that normally supports paintings will work, whether it's wood, stone, or other building materials.
Why aren't the paintings showing up when I place them?
Make sure you're clicking on a wall with at least 2×2 empty space (paintings need room to fully render). If the space is too small or blocked by other objects, the painting won't appear—try a different wall or clear the area.
Can I break and move the paintings after placing them?
Yes, you can break the paintings with any tool or your hand, and they'll drop as an item that you can place elsewhere. This lets you rearrange your display or relocate them to different rooms.
Do these paintings have any special properties or effects?
No, the secret elemental paintings are purely decorative. They don't emit light, produce sounds, or interact with redstone—they're just visual additions to your builds.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod only adds four new painting textures and doesn't add entities, mobs, or complex mechanics, so it has minimal impact on performance. You shouldn't notice any lag from having these paintings in your world.
Do the paintings match the vanilla painting textures?
The secret paintings use a vibrant color palette and minimal design style that's distinctly different from most vanilla paintings, giving them a unique look that stands out in your builds.
Can I use this mod with other painting mods?
Yes, this mod should work alongside other painting mods without conflicts since it only adds four new painting variants. Just make sure you're using compatible mod versions for your Minecraft installation.
