Painting

Paintings in Minecraft are simple, low-resolution versions of a canvas; they currently appear in Alpha, Infdev, and Indev. Most of the twenty four (19 in indev and infdev) current canvases are by Kristoffer Zetterstrand and are shrunken to a low resolution to fit Minecraft's graphical theme. 5 more are edits or new paintings. A random image from among these is chosen each time a painting is placed. Paintings currently are not flammable, nor do they stop light or players from passing through if blocks behind them are removed after their placement. Paintings can only be placed on flat, vertical surfaces.

Canvases
There are currently 19 canvases in Indev, but there are 24 in Alpha. These are mostly based on paintings by Kristoffer Zetterstrand, who also created the Minecraft versions.

Bugs
