INTRODUCTION
As a designer you are able to bring out your inner-Van Gogh with the artmap plugin.
DYES
Explore a wide range of colors for your paintings by clicking the Dyes slot (Rose Red) in the artmap GUI (/artmap).
Clicking this will show a page of items, each with its own color. There are multiple pages of colors, and you can scroll using the provided forward/back arrows.
While sitting at the easel and canvas, you can view the colors in your inventory. You can choose and scroll through them using the same arrows as mentioned above.
TOOLS
View your tools in the artmap GUI by clicking the Book and Quill. A menu will open with several tools, including Bucket, Coal, Feather, and Compass. You can use these tools when you sit down at the easel to paint.
Left click while holding the compass to flip your art horizontally.
CRAFTING
Before you can start making art, you need to do the following:
There are five categories in the GUI, listed as the following:
RECIPES
This category is crucial for making artmaps, as it contains all the necessary recipes. There are four possible recipes listed: Easel, Canvas, Paint Bucket, and Paint Brush. The easel and canvas recipes are the most important ones.
To view a recipe, click on the category, and a crafting table menu will open with the recipe outline you can follow.
PAINTING
Once you've crafted both your canvas and easel, you're ready to paint!
To paint, select a colour and left-click or right-click while holding the colour. Left-clicking places singular pixels, while holding down the right-click button allows you to drag and make lines. You can also place singular pixels by right-clicking once without holding down the button.
If you want to take a break from painting, press the shift key to exit the easel. Your art will be saved, and it will remain on the easel for you to return to at a later time.
SAVING ARTWORK
After creating your masterpiece, you can save it in two ways:
DISPLAY YOUR ART
To display your art, place an item frame, and right-click it while holding your art. It will be displayed like a picture!
To make copies of your art, use blank maps and place them along with the original art in the crafting square. The number of blank maps used determines the number of copies you'll receive.
Keep in mind that only the owner of the art can make copies. You can't copy another person's artworks.
Be careful about your inventory while making art. If you pick up anything while sitting at the easel, standing up will destroy that item, and you won't be able to get it back.
To view other people's art, use the command /artmap and click on artworks. A menu with player heads will appear, and clicking on any of those heads will allow you to view the artworks of other players!

Paint Bucket
The paint bucket is a filler tool. To fill large areas of a painting, left-click to fill an area of the canvas with the dye in your offhand. To undo your last fill, right-click while still holding the bucket.Coal
The coal tool lets you adjust the brightness of pixels, giving you more shades of colors. You can usually darken a color once or twice. Hold the coal and right-click on a color to make it darker than the original color.Feather
The feather does the opposite of what the coal’s function is. Instead of making a color darker, it will make a color lighter.Compass
The compass allows you to flip your art vertically/horizontally.| Original | After Left Click |
