Paintings++
A mod which allows you to add paintings to your game and have a nifty selection GUI to select the exact painting you want to put on your wall.
Quick answer
Which Paintings++ release matches Fabric?
Paintings++ 17.1.0 targets 1.21.11 with Fabric. Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
Where it goes
Is Paintings++ required on the client, server, or both?
Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.
What else does Paintings++ 17.1.0 need?
17.1.0 on Fabric. Every mod below is checked against that same setup.
Install Fabric API, Transparent, Cloth Config API first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.
