Minecraft 1.21 News | Fifteen New Paintings by Kristoffer Zetterstrand

Did you catch my latest episode of Hermitcraft? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSh8q0b4m4g

Bringing back the original painting artist is a huge W… now we can hope C418 will return some day (not saying the new music is bad, in fact I love it, but C418 is extremely talented at capturing the atmosphere of Minecraft.)

I've always loved how Minecraft paintings can be so out of pocket. Like, one is very vague and evokes feelings of sadness and longing and then there's an owl and lemons. Really captures how the game can be played in so many different ways.

Dayum!!! Not just 3 new music discs but FIFTEEN new paintings?! Mojang is is really popping off with 1.21

Did you know zetterstrand has a series on his instagram where he reveals the physical paintings behind the original paintings he made for Minecraft

2:30 his process is relly interesting, first he takes photos of out of bounds places in video games, then he paints them with a few additions and then he digitalizes and pixelizes it.

The fact that you can actually make a decent art gallery in Minecraft now. This was a W for collectors

As someone with a love for paleontology, with ground sloths as one of my favourite animals, that Passage painting was just the perfect addition, since that is clearly not a dinosaur. The original painting is on Zetterstrand’s website and it just proves that even more.

No way! 3-block-wide paintings! You'd be surprised how often I run into the issue of not having 3-block-wide paintings lol

Having zettestrand do the paintings just makes sense. It's like having JAPPA doing textures, it fits their vision. The 5 previously new paintings, though are good, stands out a little

4:30 I don't think that's a portal, I think it's an archway

The painting with the 'scary lurking face' looks like a Skyrim word wall to me. Considering there's also Counter Strike in the original painting set, that's my best guess. Delighted to get the OG artist back again, the style and surreal visuals always made the original set feel so distinct.

8:06 - I love the Slowy Snopes biome

That is super cool they got him to do some more paintings! I'm glad the game does not forget its roots

Finally! 3 wide paintings! I've been wanting those for years. Seems like a no-brainer.

So glad they brought the original artist back! I’ve always found his works fascinating!

Excited for the new paintings they look so good!!!

The new paintings are amazing but they enhance an older issue: they way the players have to select the painting they want. Even if they don’t add the elemental paintings to survival, we end up with 46 paintings. Yes, I know you can use temporary blocks to help you get the correct painting but we should receive a more appropriate way to select them. Without temporary blocks, the player has a 2,17% chance to get the painting they want each time they place it on the wall. I really hope they upgrade the loom, or create a new working station to help solve this issue

The paintings look darker because thats how they usally look Notch jusy didn't like how dark the ORIGINAL paintings were so he brightened them So basically. This is how they'd look if they were added today

Oh I guessed the music box wouldn't be in game and just part of the album, cool to have a music box song in game to use for ambience
