Immersive Paintings

by Luke100000

Players who want custom artwork on their walls can drag and drop an image, take a screenshot or paste a URL, and the Immersive Paintings mod turns it into a Minecraft-style painting.

What it does

Immersive Paintings adds a selection screen for paintings, including those made by other players and those shipped in optional datapacks. A creation menu pixelates an image and applies post-effects and dithering so it blends with the vanilla look, and a frame menu offers several styles and materials. Glowing paint and a graffiti variant for images with transparency are included, and the crafting recipe for the paint is given in the mod's documentation.

Image data is streamed lazily and cached at several levels of detail, which keeps the performance cost low. On a server, stored and transferred images can grow large, so the config file offers per-user limits and bandwidth throttling. Joy of Painting content works with canvases placed on a painting. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge with Fabric API and Fzzy Config as required dependencies. Mod Menu is optional. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 26.2.
