by DuckDuckDraw

The Painting Update Mojang Forgot adds new paintings to Minecraft, with a hidden USB stick to find in the Mojang Offices.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source26.1.2 – 26.2

What it does

The mod adds 16 paintings and then 23 more to the vanilla set. Their subjects include Steve, Alex, Ender Man, Key Golem, Soup Cans and a Nice Forest scene, and images of the paintings are shown in a gallery. The author notes that more paintings are planned for a later release.

A forgotten USB stick is hidden somewhere in the Mojang Offices, and finding it is part of the mod's content. The paintings are placed like any other painting, so they work in survival worlds, creative builds and multiplayer servers alike.

Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, targeting 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 26.2 as the latest version. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is released under the MIT License and is open source; the source code is public.

  3. Hidden USB stick

    A forgotten USB stick is placed somewhere in the Mojang Offices for players to find.
