TheMinecraftTricky Trials update added a lot ofnew things to the game, including 20 new paintings, each one with its own unique vibe. These all vary in sizes, going all the way from 1x1 to 4x4, meaning you’ve got a lot of options, depending on the wall space you’re looking to cover.
Every single one of these paintings is great; there’s not a bad one in the bunch. That being said, since each of them truly does have their own distinct vibe, each person’s taste is going to be a little different, and they’re going to prefer some paintings over others.
20Prairie Ride
1x2 (Sarah Boeving)
For fans of horses or the Old West, Prairie Ride is going to be a perfect fit. It’s a 1x2 painting, so it’s not going to take up much space, requiring just a bit of verticality.
If you’ve built a little house on the prairie, this painting is going to find a home on your walls. Or maybe you could hang it in the stables and inspire your horses.
19Baroque
2x2 (Sarah Boeving)
A nice, simple painting of a cake, a pot, and a yellow flower. It’s one of those paintings that you just stop and look at for a minute, studying the detail in each of the objects included.
This is a 2x2 painting, still keeping it in the pretty small department. Hang that thing up in a hallway and watch people stop to take a look at it along the way.
18Humble
A recreation of a truly classic painting, Humble features two villagers posing together for a painting with their home in the background.
At 2x2, this is a portrait that should fit just about anywhere but could look nice next to a window right in one of the main living spaces.
17Meditative
1x1 (Sarah Boeving)
The smallest painting of the bunch at 1x1, Meditative is truly meditative: just a calm, serene look at a red flower against a blue sky backdrop.
For a small painting, this can pack a real punch in a room. Something about its size and simplicity can add a really nice touch to an otherwise busy room.
16Unpacked
4x4 (Sarah Boeving)
A landscape painting of the world of Minecraft in the world of Minecraft, Unpacked is a 4x4 rendition of a hill, water, and some trees.
One of the bigger paintings in the game, Unpacked can really fill up a wall with a lot of color. Bonus points if youuse it as a secret entranceand have the landscape the view from the painting.
15Sunflowers
3x3 (Kristoffer Zetterstrand)
One of the larger-medium paintings in the game, Sunflowers features its namesake. The sunflower is a lot of people’s favorite flower, meaning this is likely going to be apretty popular decoration.
The lighting in this painting is particularly striking; it can’t be easy to render shadows that effectively in pixel art this low-res, but it’s done magnificently here.
14Cavebird
Featuring a bird and a cliff, Cavebird is a 3x3 painting, keeping it in that slightly-larger space. It’s framed by a darkened circle around the edges, really pushing your eye to what’s in the center.
What’s most impressive about this painting is the clouds in the background. They are spectacularly rendered, particularly the sunlight rolling off the uneven roundness of the clouds.
13Bouquet
Who doesn’t love a nice bouquet of flowers? This is a 3x3 painting of a bouquet sitting in front of a painting.
This is one of the more complex paintings in the game, with basically two separate shots and color palettes in one painting.
12Cotán
Cotán is another 3x3 painting, this time featuring a golden apple and a glistening melon, both placed in a windowsill.
The gold and red of the apple and melon in this painting really pop because of the neutral colors otherwise, and together with the lighting, it makes for a beautiful painting.
11Fern
This is a painting of a fern in serious trouble. Fern depicts a fern on a table with a fire beginning to burn right next to it.
Fern is a 3x3 painting, making it big enough that it can’t fit into tight spaces but small enough that it likely isn’t going to take up the entire wall.
