About this Mod
Cycle Paintings is a minimalistic mod which allows players to cycle through placed paintings by right-clicking them with another painting in their right hand. Also works with modded paintings. You can also blacklist certain motives from other mods or the vanilla game from appearing during the cycle via the config.
The mod is compatible with Fast Paintings.
You no longer have to remove and place and remove and place and remove and place a painting! :)
All available config options:

showRegisteredPaintingsDebug default false
When enabled, prints all paintings registered to the console. With this you can find which to add to the 'ignorePaintingsInCycleResourceLocationPrefix' config.
Here's an example of how it works:
You can also crouch to reverse the cycle order and go back a motive.
