Can you change the size of the painting?
Each painting has a specific size and orientation that helps adjust to the size of your wall, but every design only has one size, so you may not have a large or small version of your preferred painting.
Can you overwrite paintings?
Minecraft paintings are also considered entities, meaning if you put too much in one place, it could cause some amount of lag. Furthermore, because they are categorized as entities, paintings can simultaneously exist in the same space with other blocks with a collision box that does not intersect with its hitbox.
How to make a secret door with a painting?
These Minecraft paintings can be used to create a secret entrance. All you have to do is make a two-block entrance and place a sign on the entranceway, and then you can place a painting on top of the entrance. Any player or mob that can fit that entrance can phase through the painting and into your secret room.
How to craft paintings in Minecraft
Crafting one painting is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is place eight Sticks and one block of Wool on the crafting table; you need to put one Wool at the center and eight Sticks around it, yielding a painting.
