This Minecraft datapack adds some new paintings by using the Painting variants feature added in 1. 21. It doesn't replace any existing painting, it adds extra ones to the already existing.

> This is an update of my Custom Paintings resource pack for Minecraft versions 1. 14 to 1. 20. You can find it (https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/custom-paintings). This project only works for 1. 21+ versions of Minecraft.

## Installation The new painting variants features requires both a resource pack and a datapack.

> Important: This datapack also requires a resourcepack > You can find the companion resource pack (https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/new-custom-paintings).

Copy the resource pack in your Minecraft installation `resourcepacks` folder and the datapack in your world `datapacks` folder. You have to add the resource pack to the selected packs.

For more information see (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Data_pack#Usage) and (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Resource_pack#Behavior) in the Minecraft wiki.

Note: This datapack will mark your world as using experimental settings.

## Usage The paintings are available as any other Minecraft painting. Either randomly selected when placing a painting in the world or with the predetermined painting from the creative inventory.

The next image shows all the available paintings:
