Paintings++

Welcome to Paintings++ ! 
6.0.0.0 is out and in beta version for 1.14.4 ! 

1.14.4 allows us finally to use individual images as paintings ! Off course Paintings++ directly jumped on the opportunity to make the addition of paintings possible and as simple as possible to the big public !

What does Paintings++ Exactly do ?

Add All the Paintings you'd like !

Paintings++ was made long ago in legacy of the then discontinued MorePaintings mod. 
The main goal for Paintings++ has always been the addition of as much Paintings to the game as we could !  
1.14.4 allows for just that.

Select a Painting of Your Choice with the Click of Your Mouse !

Somewhere near 1.6.4 , Davidee (David Goldman) and I started working together to make both my Paintings++ and his Painting Selection Gui compatible. Davidee quit the modding scene later that year and
let me his mod. It is with a tear in my eye that I have to admit that 1.14.4 needed a complete rewrite of his code, and the legacy code that had been up and around till 1.12.2 had to go. Thank you for the
inspiration and good times Davidee ! You will always be a very important part in the history of Paintings++ !! 
Painting Selection Gui has now been officially and fully integrated into Paintings++ and all code has been written by me. 

So apart from adding lots of Paintings to your game, you can Select Them With a Simple Click of a Button ! 

Adding Paintings to your game

For info on how to add paintings before 1.14, check out the code repository. there's a ReadMe on art templates

for 1.14.4 :

_You will need _

a)  ResourcePack with all your art images !
b) a JSON to place in a new folder generated by the mod

Step one : Start up the game at least once to generate a folder called 'paintings' with a base json inside. 

Making your ResourcePack

Step 2 : Read up on how to make a ResourcePack

• Your resourcepack's folder structure will look like this :
     * assets/paintings/textures/painting

in the painting folder you will put all of your individual png files.
/!\ make sure your images are multiples of 16 in size.

Do not forget your pack.mcmeta !!
For extra fancy effect, also do not forget your pack.png !!

Making your JSON painting register

make a json file with the following structure: 

{ "paintings" : [{ "name" : "texture_name_here", "x" : 16, "y" : 32 }, { "name" : "texture_name_here_for_other_painting", "square" : 64 }] } You can use a JSON Parser to check if your file doesn't contain any errors.  

• Every Entry is One Painting
• "name" is the name of your image file . In the example, we have a picture called lagune.png in our ResourcePack
• you can either use "x" and "y" to define the shape of the Painting.
• or you can use "square" to define a square shape for square paintings

To Finish Up :

• Dump your ResourcePack in the resourcepack folder
• Dump your json in the paintings folder (the one next to the resourcepack folder, in your minecraft installation directory)

Start the game again ,and heave ho, if you did everything correct, your paintings are there !!
