Present since 1.0 or earlier Stack size: 64 In 1 tutorial ↓

A Painting is a framed artwork that you hang on a wall.

It is made with the Crafting Table from 8 × Stick and Black Wool (or another variant).

What it does

Eight sticks around a block of wool make one. When placed, it picks a random motif that fits the free wall space, so make room for larger ones. Paintings also hide hidden doors and storage nicely.
