How to Make a Painting in Minecraft

Minecraft Paintings existed since the third Indev phase of the Minecraft development cycle – late 2009. Like in real life, they’re a decoration that hangs on the walls and can make your house or lair prettier and give it a “homey” feel. They also vary in size and aspect ratio, making you anticipate what’ll come out when you press to use the item. Finally, some in-game Paintings are inspired by real-life art pieces from history, while others are based on video games in general or specific scenes in them. Intrigued? If so, here’s how to make a painting in Minecraft.

1. Crafting a Painting in Minecraft

The first method of making a Painting in Minecraft is through crafting:

  1. Gather the following items required to create a Painting:
    • 8x Stick
    • 1x White Wool
  2. Now, create and use a Minecraft Crafting Table.
  3. Once you see the 3×3 crafting grid, lay down the items in the following order:
    1. First row. Place a Stick in all 3 empty blocks.
    2. Second row. Place a Stick in the first and last block, and White Wool in the block in the middle (second block).
    3. Third row. Identical to the first row.
  4. If you followed the instructions closely, you’ll see a Painting icon in the previously empty block on the right-hand side.
  5. Move it to one of the empty slots in your inventory.
  6. You can place a Painting using the same control for opening the Crafting Table grid.

2. /give command for Painting in Minecraft

Don’t want to bother with crafting a Painting? Make it appear in your inventory through Minecraft cheats/commands by enabling cheats in Minecraft. Then, follow these instructions to give yourself a Painting in Minecraft:

  1. Playing Minecraft Java Edition 1.13-1.17? Enter the following command:
    /give @p painting 1
  2. Using Minecraft Java 1.8 and later or any other version of Minecraft? Type this into the chat:
    /give @p painting 1 0

Things to note about a Painting

You might find these Minecraft Painting facts useful:

  • Initially, only 19 unique Paintings existed. The number eventually rose to 26.
  • You can “attack” a Painting to make it fall to the ground. Then, loot it and place it indefinitely in hopes of getting a different picture.
  • You can also knock a Painting off the wall with projectiles such as eggs, arrows, or snowballs or explosives such as TNT.
  • The largest available Painting size is 4×4 blocks.
  • Painting expands from the bottom left corner to the upper right corner and tries to fill the space in-between.
  • A Painting that faces North/South is brighter while a Painting that faces East/West is darker.
  • You can make custom Paintings by exchanging a corresponding game file or installing a texture pack.
  • You can make a secret entrance if you dig a door-sized hole (2×1 block) and place 2 Signs on either side of the wall. A larger Painting pattern will cover the hole but let you pass through it.
  • If you place a Minecraft Chest behind a Painting, you can access its contents through it.
  • Placing a Painting over a light source makes it behave like a lamp.
  • Painting is non-flammable and protects flammable blocks it covers.
  • You can get a Painting by trading with a master-level Shepherd Villager. He usually requests 2 Emeralds for 3 Paintings.
