Potato Paintings DATAPACK
Potato Paintings DATAPACK adds a set of potato-themed paintings to the world through a data pack, released as a 2024 April Fools update.
What it does
The data pack registers new painting variants, among them Tasty Shapes at 2x2, Self-portrait at 2x3, Potato at 4x2, Spotlight at 3x3, Hot Potato at 4x4, a potato painting at 8x4 and Treachery Potatoes at 8x8. Each one has its own in-game description, and the artwork comes from the companion pack.
The pack needs Potato Paintings RESOURCE PACK to display its textures correctly, so that resource pack must be installed alongside it. Only the server must run the data pack, while players may skip it and join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric on 1.21 only, with the latest file dated 2024-06-25, and snapshot builds are published as well. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
