Dennis Painting On Java Mod
by 3geE
Players who want the Good Boy painting in Java Edition can add this mod, which places it on walls the same way as any vanilla painting.
What it does
The painting is added as a single piece of decoration that behaves like vanilla paintings: it is placed on a wall, sized to fit, and can be removed again. The content is delivered as a datapack paired with a resource pack, so a server can supply it without any client-side code. Players choose whether to use the resource pack, and the datapack must be installed for the painting to appear.
Because the mod works in singleplayer and multiplayer, a server owner who wants the painting for every visitor installs the datapack on the server and points players to the resource pack. Two installation routes are described by the author: a datapack and resource pack together, or the packaged mod form. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, the latest of them 1.1 for 26.3, released 2025-08-20.
The mod is built for Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.2 and later. Its builds cover 1.21.2 – 26.3 across 15 release versions, including 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2 alongside the 1.21 line. Because the painting exists only as added content, nothing else in the game is changed.

How it compares
Dennis Painting Backport covers 1.21 – 1.21.6 with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt files, is server required with client optional, and is released under All rights reserved. Custom Paintings is a client and server mod with an MIT License and covers 1.19 – 26.3, so it reaches further in versions and is open source. Nemo's Paintings is also open source under the MIT License, but runs on client and server and skips Quilt.
