About this Mod
Pixel Painter Decals is an add-on for Pixel Painter that lets you stamp custom PNG images directly into the world as Pixel Painter paint. Drop decal images into the decals folder, pick one from an in-game menu, preview it as a ghost image, then place it across blocks like a sticker.
Once stamped, decals become normal Pixel Painter paint data. They are saved, synced, and handled by Pixel Painter’s existing paint system instead of remaining separate image objects.
