Paintings are the most basic form of wall decoration. A painting can be made with eight sticks and one wool block of any color. Once made, it will randomly pick from a collection of pixelated paintings in the game.

When a painting is placed, it detects the number of empty blocks on a wall and chooses the size of the painting. After the size is determined, it chooses one of the paintings from the game's database that fits the size.
