Custom painting

[dirt_block]

I would like to make a custom painting in Minecraft, and from what I've seen others do, the best way to do this is to replace one of the existing painting images with your own. However, I'm wondering if it's possible to add a new painting instead of replacing one? I'd like to do this so it's easier to customize.

 

I've already made a new type of painting, with a new size, and I have an image of the same size I would like to use. The painting shows up in the game, but without the image. I have the image in assets/screen/textures/picture ("screen" being my namespace and "picture" being the name of the image). I'm not entirely sure how to link up my new painting type with my image. I've experimented with a .json file, but I'm pretty new to this kind of thing and I don't really know what to put in it, or even if it's what I need to do to get this to work.

 

Not really sure if this will help, but here is what I did to make the new painting type:

public static final RegistryObject<PaintingType> PICTURE = PAINTING_TYPES.register("picture", () -> new PaintingType(320, 176));

 

Is this the best way to do what I'm trying to do? And if so, do you know what to do or any resources that might help?

I believe it's assets/<modid>/textures/painting/<path>. It creates an atlas from the painting folder so any image not in their will not be added to the uploader.

Just as a warning, try to avoid making large pictures. This is also an 22x11 image and should be bound to a power of two (e.g. 32x16). My suggestion is usually to have a lower quality version of the image and then supporting a higher resolution version in a resource pack which will be scaled and mapped to the vertices correctly.

Yes, that worked! Thank you for the help!

Could you possibly tell me how does it work? i have the same trouble as you

 

did you replace one of the existing painting? or by 

public static final RegistryObject<PaintingType> PICTURE = PAINTING_TYPES.register("picture", () -> new PaintingType(320, 176));

if you do that, how to create a json file to reflect the image?
