Paintings in Minecraft are simple, low-resolution versions of a canvas; they currently only appear in Indev. All the nineteen current canvases are by Kristoffer Zetterstrand and are shrunken to a low resolution to fit Minecraft's graphical theme; 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; these are mostly based on paintings by Kristoffer Zetterstrand, who also created the Minecraft versions.
