Turns each painting variant into its own item. When a painting is broken, it will drop the variant-locked item instead of the blank one. No new item type was added to the game, variant-locked items work the same as the ones available in the vanilla creative menu.
Empty paintings can no longer be placed, but filled ones can be found in various places.
Core functionalities are fully server-side.
Client-side is strictly optional, containing only minor cosmetic and QoL changes. Vanilla clients only need a resource pack for CITs to work.
- [Server-side] Patched is needed in order to add paintings to loot tables, without completely overwritting them.
- [Client-side] Variants-CIT is an alternative to the server-sided
item_modelcomponent. This mod is not required at all for painting CITs to work, but it is helpful when working with modded paintings: it uses a resource format that is less redundant than vanilla, and it handles missing models more gracefully.
Filled paintings can be bought from Master Shepherds and Wandering Traders. Shepherds no longer sell variantless paintings, but will now require one in their pricing.
The elemental paintings are exclusive to the Wandering Trader, and a few haphazardly chosen others are exclusive to the villagers. Modded paintings will be available to both by default.
This feature requires Patched.
Filled paintings can be found inside many naturally generated chests, suspicious soils, and while fishing. Some paintings are exclusive to certain location; for example, the Wither painting can only be found in the nether. Modded paintings will be available in most locations by default.
The loot tables are provided as a built-in datapack which can be disabled. Without the datapack, all location-exclusive paintings will instead be available via trading.
Painting items have their item_model component set based on their variant.
The corresponding item models must be placed at /assets/<namespace>/models/item/painting/<variant>.json, based on the painting variant's ID.
Being fully server-side, this logic will assign a unique model to every single painting variant with no regards to available textures. Modded painting will appear as missing models unless you provide additional models for them, even if it's simply to give them a fallback texture.
The client-sided CIT logic used in older verison of this mod has been relegated to Variants-CIT.
- Adds a new loot function
invarpaint:lock_variant_randomly. - Placement of variant-locked paintings in tight spaces is more forgiving. (Vanilla would require targeting one specific block.)
- Shows a warning when trying to place a painting in a space that is too small.
- Fixes MC-257133, whereby failing to place a painting causes an inventory desync, causing the client to believes it has consummed the item.
- Creative players can pick a painting's variant by holding Ctrl.
- The paintings in the creative inventory now have their
item_modelcomponent set. - Slightly reworked the tooltip for painting items.
