It’s surprising paintings have never received an update in all these years. I wish the devs would implement a pop up menu whenever you place a picture. It can’t be that hard, surely?

Both ideas are appealing, #2 sounds easier and more fun. Of course, one can’t control what kind of imagery is displayed…

sounds great, but like Paul said, no one can control the content, so…..it just takes one….. “images off the internet” – sounds like it could be trouble, just saying – so yeah go for it, but don’t be surprised when …

they havent done this paul because people want them llamas 😛

btw u can already do this with maps on a claimed area, if someone is good at pixel art, they can use chunk boarders and make a 2D picture and save it onto a map, and then display it. as long as the original plot of land doesnt get destroyed/changed, the map will be a custom picture forever 🙂

ps. as many maps can be created, but if people wanted to control the picture, they can build up to build height or sth to keep people from getting in and using maps themselves 🙂

Easier way to control content that is viewed; We get one of our server youtubers to make a simple video on how to edit the texture pack images for paintings, heck I could probably even do it. You show players how to do it, they can put up whatever they want because it will be client side viewed only. Only issue is if people are posting unpleasant things in screenshots on the forums, which can be monitored without too much trouble.

Should we charge them to make the map, or even get to the creative world? Also, why don’t we have the feature that each map structure has to be checked through by staff? If you’ve built it, it wouldn’t be much time in comparison to wait. Also, it would obviously stop unwanted maps getting into the world, and discourage those who would use it badly, knowing they would never be able to use it, and be given a ban or punishment immediately.

Also, it seems almost a waste to have a creative world exclusively for these ‘paintings’. What other purposes could it have? Build contests?

And I have so many ideas for paintings… If this comes through, I may not ever appear on the survival XD.

I’ve used this before, what you are suggesting is overly insane for a very simple solution, simple solution, use the same resource pack, or create a resource pack for the server to use, there are a few threads about this already.

Godsy creates a creative plot world where people can build “paintings” that can be rendered on a map.

This alone, by itself is insane:

1. We don’t have the resources to add another creative server (we already have one for builders) on this main server, I would need to Setup a second server on our bungee, which then has these issues:
   1. Cross server paintings; Would need a way to sync between servers? Just for paintings?!
   2. Inventory across worlds, I assume you need to make a selection of the initial plot to create the painting, and then bring that to the overworld?
      1. This means, you want to share Inventory between Overworld and a creative world.. No you cannot have creative and bring items into the survival, Sure its possible to limit what you can, this is getting insane…
      2. Duple glitches; When you start having certain things sync between servers, new issues occur, mostly dupe glitching.

The Idea itself is a great one, the implementation is terrible. There is no easy technical method to do this, the time spent on implementing something insane like this, could be used to implement one of the millions of projects that would change and add gameplay to the server, if there was a quick simple solution (Adding a new resource pack) that solves the issue entirely, I know it makes sense to have paintings show for everyone no matter on TP, but this is a crazy solution at present.

I do plan on having a creative anyway, in general. We have a lot of big projects to complete first before I even get to this though.

I make all of my skins, I imagine blocks would be no different
