Moai Statue Paintings
by dacoolpatato
Moai Statue Paintings adds five painting sizes themed on the Moai statues of Easter Island, ranging from Normal to Gigantic.
What it does
The mod adds a set of paintings that show the Moai statues of Easter Island. Five sizes are included: Normal, Medium, Big, Huge and Gigantic. The largest painting is 16x16 blocks, a high-resolution piece meant to work as a centerpiece in a room or hall. Smaller sizes suit tight spaces, so a build can use the same theme in a small cabin or a large gallery.
Because the paintings come in several sizes, they fit temples, modern art galleries and home interiors alike, and they give a build a distinct character compared with the default paintings. The mod is a small, focused addition that leaves core gameplay untouched. It requires NeoForge, is published for 1.21.1 only, and runs on the client and the server, so both need it. The code is released under the MIT License, but the mod is not open source.
