Adding custom paintings to Bibliocraft in Minecraft involves a few steps. Firstly, you need to ensure that the painting press feature is available in your Bibliocraft version. Then, you can either use a custom resource pack or add the images directly to the BiblioCraft jar file. For the former, you open the example resource pack in the BiblioCraft jar, copy it, and navigate to the custompaintings folder. For this method, you then add your desired images in PNG format to the folder and save the pack. For the latter method, you open the BiblioCraft mod file, navigate to ASSETS --> BIBLIOCRAFT --> TEXTURES, and click ADD to include your custom paintings folder. In both cases, you need to ensure the resource pack is loaded in Minecraft. Once done, you can select your custom paintings from the painting press.

What You'll Learn
Custom paintings must be in .png format
Custom paintings in BiblioCraft must be in ..png format. This is because PNG files contain high-resolution images and better colour depth, resulting in good-quality printouts. They are also useful when you want transparent backgrounds or shadow effects in your images.
To add custom paintings to BiblioCraft, you need to first create a folder labelled "custompaintings" and save your .png images there. Then, open your Bibliocraft mod file and click on ASSETS --> BIBLIOCRAFT --> TEXTURES. Click "ADD" and navigate to the "custompaintings" folder to add your images.
Alternatively, you can add custom paintings via a custom resource pack. Open the BiblioCraft jar file and locate the .zip file inside, which is an example resource pack. Follow the basic instructions to create your own resource pack and ensure that you have the correct folder structure.
Once you have added your custom paintings, make sure that this version of BiblioCraft is installed on the server and all client computers. You will then be able to add your custom paintings when using the painting press.

Open the bibliocraft jar file to access the 'custompaintings' folder
To add custom paintings to BiblioCraft, you must first open the BiblioCraft jar file. Typically, .jar files are not opened; instead, they are copied into the mods folder. However, in this case, you will need to open the file to access the custompaintings folder.
To open the BiblioCraft jar file, you can use an archive program such as WinRAR (for PC) or iPack (for Mac). Once you have opened the file, navigate to the following folders: assets --> BIBLIOCRAFT --> TEXTURES. Here, you will find the custompaintings folder.
It is important to note that the image files you plan to use for your custom paintings must be in PNG format. Once you have added your PNG images to the custompaintings folder, you can save and close the file.
After closing the file, you will need to rename it to resourcepack.zip. Finally, copy the resource pack to your MinecraftEdu world folder. The clients connecting to the server will automatically download the new images, and your custom paintings will be ready to use in the game.

Add custom paintings via a resource pack
Custom paintings can be added to Bibliocraft via a resource pack. This can be done by opening the Bibliocraft jar with WinRAR or 7zip and navigating to the custompaintings folder. Any images added to this folder must be in +.png format.
If you are already using a custom resource pack, open it and drag the Bibliocraft folder from the example file to the assets folder of your current resource pack, then add your images. The image files must be in +.png format. Save and close the zip file, then rename it to "resourcepack.zip". Copy the resource pack to your MinecraftEdu world folder. The clients connecting to the server will automatically download the new images, although it may take a few minutes for the paintings to load.
You can also place sub-folders inside the custom paintings folder, and as long as the paintings are .png, the painting press will find them. For the paintings to show up in the painting press GUI, the resource pack must be loaded in Minecraft like a standard resource pack.
You can edit the pack.mcmeta in a text editor to change the name of your custom pack. Change the pack.png image to the image that will show up in-game on the resource packs page.

Install the mod on the client and server
To install mods on your Minecraft server, you must first install a server software (mod loader) capable of running mods. The most popular mod loader is Forge, but alternatives include Fabric, Quilt, and Neoforge. Be sure to install the same loader and version used on the server; otherwise, you may encounter errors.
Once you've installed your chosen mod loader, download the mod files in .jar format from a trusted source. You can find mods on the CurseForge Minecraft Mods page. After downloading the mods, navigate to the "mods" folder in your "Files" tab and upload your mods by dragging them to the site.
If you're using Forge, open the Minecraft launcher and select your Forge profile. If you're using Fabric, open the Minecraft launcher and select the Fabric profile.
To add mods to your client, open your local 'mods' folder and add all the mods you want. You can find your local 'mods' folder by going to your Minecraft installation folder. The default folder can be found by pressing the Windows button, typing "run," and pressing Enter. Then, type "%appdata%\.minecraft" and press Enter.
After installing the mods on your client and server, make sure that they are running the same version. If they are not, your server may crash. Once you've confirmed that the versions match, restart your server and try loading up the mod(s) again.

- Navigate to the folder called "assets" and then to the subfolder "bibliocraft".

- Add your desired custom paintings to this folder. Ensure that the images are in *.png format and are appropriately named in lowercase letters.
- Save and close the zip file, then rename it to "resourcepack.zip".
- Copy the resource pack to your Minecraft world folder.
- Launch the game and enable the resource pack.
Second Method
- Open your custom resource pack.
- Drag the Bibliocraft folder from the example file to the assets folder of your current resource pack.
- Add your desired custom paintings to this folder. Ensure that the images are in *.png format.
- Save and close the zip file, then rename it to "resourcepack.zip".

Once you have completed either of these methods, you can use the Painting Press in Bibliocraft to apply your custom paintings to a canvas. Right-click the block with the canvas to add it automatically, or open the GUI and use the tabs to select your custom painting. You can then apply the painting by clicking the button in the GUI or by right-clicking the top/front of the lid.
