Elemental Paintings
by Pendonym
Elemental Paintings adds a set of unused paintings that were originally made for the Pocket Edition and a promotional map shown at MINECON 2012 and 2013.
What it does
The mod places paintings in the game that were cut from the release build, so players can hang them in their own builds. Gameplay is left as it is, and the mod only adds the paintings. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Builds exist for Forge only, covering 1.16.5 – 1.17.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.17.1 as the latest file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Promotional map artwork
Paintings from a map shown at MINECON 2012 and 2013 are included for building.
No gameplay changes
