Paintings

Paintings are decorations that were added in Update 0.5.0. They are not a block and do not occupy the space of a block, so water, torches, etc. can coexist in the spaces where paintings are placed.

Crafting

 * 8 Sticks + 1 Wool => 1 Painting

Note: Paintings can be crafted with any type of wool. The color of wool used does not have an influence of the picture chosen when the painting is placed.
