fzPaint
by fryto
fzPaint lets players paint block faces with custom colors and create 16x16 pixel art on them, using a Paint Brush tool.
What it does
Players use the Paint Brush tool to apply custom colors to blocks, and the painting interface is built to be simple to learn. Each block face can carry a 16x16 pixel design, so builders can make detailed signs, murals and decorative surfaces. The color picker offers a wide selection of shades rather than a fixed palette.
Paintings persist across game sessions, so artwork stays on the blocks after a world is closed and reopened. The mod is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 only, and it needs Fabric API to run. Both the server and every player need fzPaint, because the environment is client and server. The code is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is not open source.
fzPaint was first published on 2025-10-28 and last updated on 2025-11-02, when version 1.1.1 for 1.21.1 became the latest Fabric file.
