Remote Paintings
by Ari24-cb24
Remote Paintings lets a player replace the paintings in the game with images loaded from the web, without building a resource pack.
What it does
The mod reads a JSON configuration that maps painting variants to image URLs. Raw Hastebin links work as sources, so a configuration can be shared by copying one link. Once loaded, the remote images show in place of the vanilla paintings in the world.
Commands handle the configuration: a player can load a config from a URL, reload the one already loaded, or upload the current overrides to Hastebin, which returns a URL that saves them. Remote Paintings is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything. It requires oωo (owo-lib). The mod is for Fabric and is published only for 1.21.4, with version 1.0.0 dated 2025-05-22, under the MIT License, and its source code is public.
Key features
Remote image overrides
Vanilla paintings are replaced with images fetched from URLs, so custom artwork appears in the game itself.
JSON configuration
Overrides are stored in a JSON file that can point each painting at a different image.
Hastebin load and save
Configurations can be loaded from a raw Hastebin URL and the current overrides can be uploaded to Hastebin.
Config commands
The remotepaintings loadConfig, reloadConfig and saveConfig commands load, reload and save the overrides.
Painting renderer injection
The mod hooks into the painting renderer and draws the remote image over the painting rather than the original texture, a simpler route than editing the sprite atlas.
