About this Mod

Distinct Paintings

Motivated for motives!

A simple mod that splits the random painting item into distinct variants by using NBT tags.

Technical details

A new painting item is introduced which iterates over all motives specified in EntityPainting.EnumArt and registers a sub-item for each variant. This way, any mod that is modifying this enumeration is supported, JSON Paintings for instance.

But wait, JSON Paintings already does that and there are painting selection GUIs in other mods as well!!

That is indeed true, but with registering paintings as distinct items (hence the name), you can specify the individual paintings as loot or other methods that require/support NBT.

This mod was commissioned for Minecraft 1.12.2.
