How to Install Your Painting

You'll get two files — a resource pack (texture) and a data pack (painting registration). Both must be installed.

Step 1 — Resource Pack (texture)

Place name_resourcepack.zip in your resourcepacks folder, then enable it in Options → Resource Packs.

Press Win + R, paste and hit Enter:

%APPDATA%\.minecraft\resourcepacks

Drop the .zip in there (don't unzip it).

In Finder, press ⌘ Shift G and paste:

~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/resourcepacks

Drop the .zip in there (don't unzip it).

~/.minecraft/resourcepacks

Copy the .zip in (don't unzip it).

Step 2 — Data Pack (registers the painting, Java 1.21+)

Place name_datapack.zip in your world's datapacks folder.

Press Win + R, paste and hit Enter:

%APPDATA%\.minecraft\saves

Open your world's folder → datapacks (create the folder if it doesn't exist) → drop name_datapack.zip in (don't unzip it).

In Finder, press ⌘ Shift G and paste:

~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves

Open your world's folder → datapacks → drop name_datapack.zip in (don't unzip it).

~/.minecraft/saves/<your world>/datapacks/

Copy name_datapack.zip in (don't unzip it).

Enable the resource pack in Options → Resource Packs, then click Done.
Open your world (the one that has the data pack).
Run /reload in chat if the data pack isn't loading. Cheats must be on.
Get your painting item — run this in chat (cheats on):
/function custom:give
This runs the give function included in your ZIP. Updates automatically after you generate.
Place it: Right-click a wall with the painting item — keep clicking until your custom painting appears.

⚠️ The data pack is only needed in Java 1.21+. On older versions (1.20.4 and below) the resource pack alone adds the texture — just make sure your painting name matches one of the vanilla painting IDs (e.g. kebab, aztec, etc).
