Vintage Animal Paintings Pack
by 5055r
Vintage Animal Paintings Pack brings 25 nineteenth-century zoological wall charts into Minecraft as new paintings, alongside the game's originals.
What it does
The pack adds 25 animal paintings modeled on 1890s zoological wall charts. Each piece is a detailed illustration printed in warm paper tones, in the style of classroom educational charts. The paintings sit next to Minecraft's original paintings in the same selection, so players can place them on any wall like the vanilla art.
The collection suits builds that aim at a vintage interior: libraries, studies, classrooms, zoology rooms, woodland lodges and natural-history museums. Eagles, bears, monkeys, butterflies and other animals make up the subjects. Bookshelves, wooden furniture and warm lighting pair well with the charts and reinforce their 19th-century character.
The pack is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 26 release versions, 1.12.2 – 26.3, and the code is not open source; the files are under All rights reserved. Credits go to the original nineteenth-century illustrations by Charles-Olivier de Penne, published by Hachette et Cie. in Paris.
