What Materials Do You Need?
To craft a painting in Minecraft, you'll need just two simple ingredients: wool and sticks.
Get wool by shearing sheep—any color will work!
For sticks, simply punch any tree. You'll get wooden planks, which can be easily crafted into sticks.
Now that we have our materials, let's create our masterpiece!
How to Make a Painting
Open your crafting table and arrange the wool in the center square, surrounded by sticks, as shown below.
Congratulations! You've crafted your very own Minecraft painting.
How to Hang a Painting
Hanging your painting is simple: just right-click on a wall while holding the painting. The image is randomly selected, adding an element of surprise!
To hang a larger painting, place a solid block at each corner of the desired area, placing the painting in the bottom left corner. It will automatically expand to fill the space.
Note: Paintings facing north and south are brighter than those facing east and west.
Can You Create Custom Paintings?
Unfortunately, creating completely custom paintings isn't possible without modifying the game files. You can, however, use resource packs to change the available painting designs.
