And, voila, that’s how you make a painting. Just click and drag the painting from the box to your inventory and place it on a wall as you would place any other block.

Paintings can be placed on the sides of solid blocks, or signs. The other blocks holding the painting can be almost anything. The type of painting that you will hang is completely random and you’ll get a different picture each time. There are 26 unique paintings in the game.

When placed, a painting checks for the largest amount of space it has. It then chooses a random painting of that size. You can add blocks around the painting to ensure it is the size wanted.

Players and mobs are able to walk through paintings, as long as the blocks supporting the painting allow it. This allows a unique mechanism in which players use paintings to conceal secret rooms within their builds.

Making a secret passage using a painting is quite simple. All you’ll need is two signs, the painting, and a wall where your passage will be.

First, make either a 1×2 or 2×2 sized hole in the wall where you want the passage to be. Then, place signs on the sides of the blocks. Next, just place a painting on the signs. It might take a couple of attempts to get a painting that completely covers the opening, but eventually, you’ll get it.
