🪄Introduction

What is Painting Table ?

Painting Table introduces a survival and multiplayer-friendly way to craft custom player heads, with any kind of textures. Players heads are appreciated to mimic custom small blocks, like small logs, small stones, food, animals, chests, pile of books, bags, etc.

How to craft and use a painting table?

Painting tables can be crafted using:

• 2 brushes
• 2 Planks of any wood (oak, dark oak, spruce, bamboo, cherry, warped, etc.)

The recipe is the following:

!recipe

After you crafted it, you can simply place down your painting table.
The block has its own UI that shows its requirements.

In order to craft custom players heads, the painting table except blue, red and yellow dyes, along with blocks of quartz that will be consumed as soon as you take the output items.

The last item to put is a book (either a writable or a written one), that won't be consumed.
In this same book, you need to paste the value of the desired player heads textures.
In this example below, I set a a cake player head texture in the writable book.

!gui

You can find many players heads textures on the minecraft-heads.com website. In the "Custom Heads" section, search for a head you like, and click on it to open its relative full page. Then, scroll to the For developers > Value field, and click the Copy button. Paste the result in your writable book in the game.

If you're using Fabric, you may also be interested in the client-side Head Browser mod created by TheVoidBlock in order to get player heads value.

Misc. information about painting tables

• Painting tables can be oriented depending on the player's facing direction. As the block uses display entities, I don't recommend to spam it so much. But you can use a few of them as decoration if you wish.
• Like for other crafting station, painting tables return input items the player set in it when it closes it.
• For technical reasons, you can't put a hopper, dropper, crafter adjenctly to a painting table, or a hopper minecart below it. These blocks will also be rotated automatically to not face it.

🔧 Update from V.2

The data pack provides a process to convert all existing racks from V.2 to V.3.
In order to do so, follow the steps written below. I would also advice you to create a backup of your world using V.2, in case another data pack / plugin / mod accidentally breaks the updating process.

1. Remove the Painting Table V.2 data pack from the /datapacks/ folder of your world, don't uninstall V.2 upstream with the uninstall function, as you should keep its database.
2. Upgrade your world to the desired version of Minecraft if needed, if it isn't already done.
3. Install Painting Table V.3 by placing it in the /datapacks/ forlder, then using /reload in game.
4. Use this following command: /function pk_pa_ta:cmd/upgrade/from_v2 and wait for the updating process to end. If it managed to do so, you should get a message "Updated all painting tables from KawaMood's Painting Table (V.2) successfully".

Note: Old painting tables items from V.2 will automatically be replaced by their V.3 equivalent when you get them in your inventory. Expert mason will also lose their relative offer once you try to interact with them. The offer may still display in the available offers the first time you do it, but it is just a display issue from the game, you can't buy it.

🧹 Uninstall

Painting Table comes with an automatic uninstallation process. Running it will:

• Remove all painting tables that have been placed in your world, in every dimensions
• Remove all scores and storage specific to the Painting Table data pack
• If there is no more KawaMood data packs installed, also remove all common scores and storages

The uninstalling process may take some seconds to complete. Be sure to wait for the message telling you that you can safely remove the data pack from your world's folder before doing it.

The command to start the uninstalling process is the following one:

/function pk_pa_ta:cmd/uninstall
