Dark Paintings

Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.

Project overview

This mod adds many new paintings to the game! These paintings come in a variety of sizes and art styles. Each painting was designed and illustrated by a member of our community! These paintings are seamlessly integrated with the vanilla paintings and can be placed in the world using the normal painting item. There are also items in the creative tab that can be used to place a specific design exactly where you want it! Thanks to the many talented artists who have collaborated with me on this mod, including mmg28rtt, FuryDev, Axeonlotl, Wouter, Absolem Jackdaw, Punpudle, Superkat32, and me Darkhax lol. This project is sponsored by Nodecraft. Use code DARKHAX for 30% off your first month of service!

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for Map and Information, Adventure and RPG, Cosmetic on Fabric, NeoForge, Quilt, Forge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The source record was updated on Jun 18, 2026, which is a recent freshness signal. A recent date does not guarantee support for every loader or Minecraft version, so still inspect the current file list.

What to verify before choosing a file

• Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
• Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
• Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
• Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
• Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
