Painting and Pixel Art in Mine Painter

Mine Painter allows for the creation of custom paintings through the use of Canvases and Paintbrushes.

The Canvas

A Canvas is a 16x16 grid that can be placed on the side of any block. Once placed, it acts as a drawing surface. Canvases can be picked up and moved, and they will retain the artwork drawn on them.

Painting Tools

• Paintbrush: The primary tool for drawing. It must be used in conjunction with a Palette.
• Palette: This item holds the colors. By right-clicking with a Palette, a GUI opens where players can mix dyes to create custom colors.
• Mixing Colors: The Palette uses the standard RGB (Red, Green, Blue) or RYB color mixing logic based on the dyes provided (Rose Red, Cactus Green, Lapis Lazuli, etc.).

Painting Process

1. Place a Canvas on a wall.
2. Hold a Palette in your off-hand (or have it in your inventory) and a Paintbrush in your main hand.
3. Right-click the canvas to apply the selected color to a pixel.
4. Shift + Right-click to pick a color already present on the canvas (Eyedropper tool).
