The player can add blocks around the painting to ensure it is the size wanted. It then chooses a random painting of that size. When placed, a painting checks for the largest amount of space it has. There are several different sizes of paintings (see below). A small gap is visible between the painting and attachment surface.
Paintings can be placed on the sides of solid blocks, signs, banners, or sculk veins. Master-level shepherd villagers sell 3 paintings for 2 emeralds. To remove a painting from a wall, the player can attack it, break one of its supporting blocks, cover one square of it with a block, hit it with an arrow, egg, ender pearl, snowball, or fire charge, or subject it to an explosion. Once placed, it displays a random painting.
The color of the wool used does not influence the picture chosen when the painting is placed. Paintings can be crafted with any color of wool.
