Paintings

MinecraftOnline's custom Resource Pack includes several sets of custom paintings packs. These can be used to decorate player builds with a more Freedonian touch than the vanilla paintings of Minecraft.

To use these custom painting packs, simply rename one (or several) painting items to the relevant title in an anvil and then place until you get the desired painting.

Creating A Pack

Anyone is welcome to make painting packs, but they must be at the proper resolution to work properly. To create a pack, it is recommended players start with an existing texture file and then resize screenshots or manually paint on top of it. For aspiring artists, be aware that the rather low resolution of these paintings can make creating identifiable pictures rather difficult. Some tips include searching for unique silhouettes when taking source pictures, and finding objects relevant in scale to the painting size.
Each pack is generally themed around a specific topic as well. Although variety packs may be accepted, so far we have tried to keep them unified.
Once finished, send the file to a developer who can implement it into the resource pack at their convenience.
