Drawler
by miniking1000
Drawler lets players paint pictures in the world using maps made with the DFArt's ArtMap plugin, and it is a Fabric decoration mod for Minecraft 1.21.4.
What it does
Drawler is built around artmap plugin support. Players can draw art that is produced through the DFArt's ArtMap plugin, so the mod's function depends on that plugin and on the art it creates. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.
Two libraries must be installed alongside Drawler: Cloth Config API and Fabric API. Drawler is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.20 – 1.21.4 across 12 release versions. The latest Fabric file, 1.11.1+1.21.2-1.21.4, was published on 2025-03-27 for 1.21.4. The mod's source code and issue tracker are public, and its license is a custom one that is not open source.
The author describes Drawler as a first mod, with a README that covers its license, what the mod does and how to use it. Starting with the release that added the Cloth Config dependency, the mod requires Cloth Config API. The mod was first published on 2024-04-13 and last updated on 2025-03-27.

Use cases
Painting with ArtMap
A player who already uses DFArt's ArtMap plugin can draw art in game with Drawler installed on the client.
Who it’s for: Players who already use DFArt's ArtMap plugin and want to draw art in their own singleplayer or client-side game. Drawler requires the ArtMap plugin to do its work, so players without it gain little from the mod.

What the author says
First of all, this mod is very situational, and I can guarantee you, that if you don't know, what this mod is, you will NEVER use it. If you still want to know what this is, or you know, but still reading it, please learn about license first. This is a private mod for Russian minecraft server DreamFox. I created it…
