Description from the author on Modrinth

[](twitter.com/sketch_macaw)

So since so many like our decoration mods, I decided to give paintings a shot. It is a completely new direction where we are heading, so expect a lot of updates for this mod.

The art was made by Peachy. This 1.0.5 version adds 56 paintings, with a vanila fitting style. If you have any suggestions for some painting we could make, let us know!

This mod is compatible with CyclePaintings from Serillum!

Suggest your ideas on our Macaw's discord.
