In the second row, place a double crochet in the first square, 1 strand in the second square and a double crochet in the third square. Place 3 dc in the 3rd row. This is the recipe for Minecraft paint.

Now that you’ve added each item to the grid as described above, you’ll notice a painting appear in the box on the right.

That is! You now have a painting. Minecraft paintings are decorative art objects, up to a block size of 4×4, that can be hung on the wall. There are 26 paintings (different images and sizes) in the game. When a player places a painting on a wall, the game finds the largest amount of space it has and displays a random painting of that size.
