ArtisticCraft
by Ruby
ArtisticCraft brings more paintings and a set of music discs into Forge worlds, with sheets and a recorder that turn music into discs.
What it does
The mod adds more than 160 paintings that can be obtained the same way as vanilla paintings, so they are not limited to creative mode. It also adds 110 new music discs, many built from covers and songs whose authors gave permission for use, along with a few free music tracks from named composers. Each disc has a matching sheet, and a recorder block transfers a music sheet onto an empty disc.
Crafting uses specific sheets, and a random sheet can be crafted to produce one of the mod's sheets at random. Right-clicking a grass block breaks it instantly and can drop Amethyst Blocks or Budding Amethyst, which the author describes as a way to make amethyst easier to farm. The mod is published for Forge only, for 1.18.2 and 1.19.2, with 0.90 for 1.19.2 as the latest file. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under AFL-3.0 and is not open source.
