🎨ArtMap Guide

ArtMap lets you create pixel art paintings in Wintercrest using a 32x32 canvas on an easel.

🖌️ Basic Tools & Drawing

Dyes

• Found at /artmap.
• Infinite use - you can use them forever unless you lose them.
• Each dye provides 4 variations: Base colour, Shade, Tint, Darker Shade.

Drawing methods

• Left-click with dye: place a single pixel.
• Right-click with dye: draw continuously until released.

Eyedropper

• Right-click: select a colour from the canvas.
• Left-click: paint with the selected colour (no dye required).

🔄 Canvas Rotation & Placement

Rotate while working

• Compass + Left-click: rotate horizontally.
• Compass + Right-click: rotate vertically.

Stacking canvases

• Place easels on blocks, then remove the blocks to leave them floating.
• This lets you build large artworks by stacking canvases side by side or vertically.

🪣 Filling & Erasing

Fill tool

• Hold dye in off-hand and bucket in main hand.
• Left-click an area to fill with the chosen colour.

Erasure

• There's no true eraser, but you can "erase" by repainting with the background colour (white).

🔒 Saving & Protection

Artwork protection

• Canvases are automatically protected so others cannot copy your work.
• You can also use /maplock for extra security.

Saving

• Use /artmap save to save a piece.
• Saves can be overwritten with a save kit.

Duplicating

• If it's your own artwork, you can duplicate it using empty maps + artmap in a crafting or cartography table.
