In older editions of the mod i would simply just delete the paintings in the jar file and it would work fine but as of 1.20.1 the mod just ends up not letting me place any paintings even if i just remove 1 painting from the json and texture file would it be possible to make a mod version without the paintings added please.

Dead URL?
