What it does

Art Explored is a lightweight Forge mod built with MCreator. Its new blocks are covered with artwork and can be placed as wallpapers and displays for building rooms, galleries and halls. Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, and the source code is released under the MIT License, so the mod is open source.

Key features

  1. Art-covered blocks

    Six or more new blocks have artwork on their faces, ready to place as wall decoration.

  2. Wallpaper displays

    The blocks work as wallpapers and display surfaces for galleries and interior scenes.

  3. Lightweight design

    The blocks use simple 16x16 straight textures, so the mod stays small, though pictures can look blurry up close.
