Paintings in Minecraft offer players the opportunity to spice up their homes and add some creativity to the game. They're a great decoration and are relatively simple to craft. They are considered decorative entities and can be put up on walls made of almost any block as well as being put on signs. Here's how to craft them and the complete list of each painting in Minecraft.
How to craft and list of Minecraft paintings
Currently, paintings do not spawn naturally anywhere in the world. The only way to obtain them is to craft them, but fortunately, the recipe is simple. Eight sticks and one wool of any color will produce a painting.
When placed, a painting will automatically check for the most space it can take up and then it chooses a random painting of that size. The player can add blocks around the painting to ensure it is a certain size.
Many of Minecraft's paintings are based on paintings by Zetterstrand, who also turned them into pixelated versions. Here are all of the possible paintings and their descriptions.
