⚠️ Important Disclaimer 🤖

🎨 Tintara was developed entirely using artificial intelligence (AI). I strongly recommend thoroughly testing the mod before using it, as it may contain bugs, unexpected behavior, or compatibility issues.

🛠️ I created this mod solely because I needed this functionality for a private Minecraft server. I decided to publish it as well, since there was nothing to lose by sharing it with others who might find it useful.

🔄 If updates, bug fixes, or improvements are needed, I will do my best to provide them.

Tintara is a decorative mod featuring a painting system inspired by the classic OpenBlocks. Craft placeable paint buckets, fill them with dyes, and use a paintbrush to collect and apply paint. Explore a wide variety of colors and bring your Minecraft builds to life!


🎨 How to Use Tintara

Tintara offers two ways to obtain paint buckets:

🪣 Method 1: Craft Colored Paint Buckets

Craft a paint bucket using the color you want in a crafting table.

💡 Tip: I recommend using JEI (Just Enough Items) to find the available recipes and colors.

🎨 Method 2: Fill an Empty Paint Bucket

  1. Craft an empty paint bucket.

  2. Place it on the ground.

  3. Right-click the bucket with the dye of your choice to fill it with the corresponding paint color.

💡 Tip: Search for @Tintara in JEI to find the mod's items and recipes.

🖌️ How to Collect Paint

  1. Place a filled paint bucket on the ground.

  2. Right-click the bucket with your paintbrush.

  3. That's it! Your brush is ready to use.

🌈 Choose your colors, grab your brush, and bring your Minecraft builds to life!
