Core values of this mod:

  1. Encourage players to create own pixel artworks and use it in their creations;
  2. Do not change vanilla gameplay in any way and try to be as much close to vanilla Minecraft feel as possible;
  3. Drawing should be fun and simple;
  4. Let power users to be power users as much as it doesn't overcomplicate UI;
  5. Server administrators should be able to easily moderate player artworks and decide what is appropriate on their server;
  6. Simultaneous canvas edit is super hard to implement properly, but I will because it's fun.

Planned features:

  1. Special admin table to check all pictures;
  2. Line tool;
  3. Setting to use higher resolution of canvases for higher-resolution texture packs, up to 64px on one block.
