Any colour of wool can be used.

Usage

Hanging

A painting is hung on the side of a block. The game picks a picture at random from those that fit there:

  • every block behind the picture is solid;
  • the space in front of it is clear;
  • it overlaps no other painting.

If no picture fits, nothing is hung and the painting is not used up.

Pictures

Sizes are width by height, in blocks. The names are the ones the game saves; nothing in the game shows them.

Behaviour

A hung painting drops as an item when:

  • it takes any damage, from a punch or a fishing bobber to an explosion;
  • anything moves it, such as a piston;
  • a block behind it stops being solid, or a block is placed in front of it.

The last is checked about every 5 seconds.
