WithoutAWallpaper
Minecraft builders know that the smallest details can turn a simple room into a masterpiece. The WithoutAWallpaper add-on brings a long-awaited decorative feature to the game: fully craftable, color-customizable wallpapers. Instead of relying on banners or map art to cover walls, you can now craft genuine wallpaper blocks, tint them with dyes, and even add your own custom patterns. This mod is a game-changer for interior design enthusiasts who want to break free from the limitations of vanilla blocks.
What Makes WithoutAWallpaper Stand Out
At its core, WithoutAWallpaper introduces a Pasting Table, a new crafting station where you combine paper and up to three dyes to produce wallpaper blocks. The add-on ships with two distinct wallpaper designs, each available in a wide spectrum of colors. You can mix and match hues to match any build palette, from cozy cottage interiors to sleek modern bases. The real magic, however, lies in the deep customization system that lets you inject your own artwork into the game.
Whether you are designing a medieval tavern, a futuristic laboratory, or a whimsical treehouse, the ability to apply custom wallpaper patterns transforms bland surfaces into storytelling elements. The mod’s lightweight nature means it integrates smoothly into both vanilla-style and heavily modded worlds without causing performance issues.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loaders
WithoutAWallpaper is built for modern Minecraft and is compatible with version 1.20.1 and 1.19.4. It runs on both the Fabric and Forge mod loaders, giving you flexibility regardless of your preferred modding platform. Always check the mod’s official page for the latest version support, as updates frequently add compatibility with newer game releases.
How to Install WithoutAWallpaper
Installing the add-on is straightforward. First, ensure you have the correct mod loader installed—Fabric with Fabric API or Forge. Then, download WithoutAWallpaper from a trusted source like CurseForge or Modrinth. Place the downloaded .jar file into your mods folder. If you are using the foxygame.net launcher, the process is even simpler: the launcher’s built-in add-on catalog lets you find WithoutAWallpaper and install it with a single click, automatically resolving dependencies and version compatibility. After installation, launch the game and you are ready to start crafting.
Crafting Your First Wallpaper
To begin, craft a Pasting Table using the recipe provided in the mod. Place it down and right-click to open its interface. You will see slots for paper and up to three dye slots. Insert one piece of paper and choose your dyes—the order of dyes determines the color layers on the wallpaper. For example, placing red dye in the first slot and white dye in the second creates a two-tone wallpaper with a red base and white accents. The resulting wallpaper block can be placed on any solid surface, and you can break it with your hand or any tool to retrieve it.
Using the Built-in Designs
The add-on includes two default wallpaper patterns, each with a unique texture. You can apply any combination of the 16 vanilla dye colors to these patterns, giving you hundreds of possible color variations. Experiment with monochrome schemes, complementary colors, or bold contrasts to find the perfect look for your build. The pasting table previews the result before you commit, so you can tweak the dye arrangement until you are satisfied.
Adding Your Own Custom Wallpaper Designs
One of the most exciting features of WithoutAWallpaper is the ability to add completely custom designs. This opens the door to personal artwork, server logos, or themed patterns that no other player will have. The process involves editing the mod’s configuration file and providing your own texture assets.
Enabling Custom Designs
First, locate the withoutawallpaper-server config file in your Minecraft config folder. Open it and set enableCustomDesigns to true. Then, add your design names to the customDesigns list. Each entry follows a specific format: the design name, followed by color groups in square brackets. For example, test[all;blue,green] creates a design called “test” with two color layers—the first layer accepts any dye color, and the second layer accepts only blue or green dyes. You can define up to three color layers per design, and each layer can list specific colors or use “all” to allow any dye.
Preparing Custom Textures
Your custom textures must be placed in the correct folder structure. Create a directory at <game folder>/config/withoutawallpaper/CustomWallpaperResources/ or inside a resource pack. Inside, navigate to assets/withoutawallpaper/textures/block/wallpaper/ and create a folder named exactly as your design. In that folder, place a design.png file—this is the icon shown in the pasting table GUI. Then, for each color layer, create a subfolder: color0, color1, and optionally color2. Inside each color folder, add a .png file for every allowed color, named after the dye (e.g., lime.png, black.png). The mod will layer these textures on top of each other to form the final wallpaper block. For a two-color design with lime as the first color and black as the second, you would have color0/lime.png and color1/black.png.

Planned Features and Community Input
The developer has plans to expand the collection with more built-in wallpaper designs, giving you even more variety out of the box. Community feedback is actively encouraged—if you have ideas for new patterns, improved textures, or additional functionality, you can share them on the mod’s Discord server. Some custom designs submitted by players may even be integrated into future official releases, making this a truly collaborative project.
Tips for Stunning Wallpaper Builds
- Use wallpaper blocks as accent walls behind fireplaces, beds, or crafting stations to create focal points.
- Combine different dye layers to mimic gradients or striped patterns.
- In survival mode, set up a dye farm with flowers, squid ink, and cactus green to mass-produce colored wallpapers.
- For custom designs, keep textures simple and tileable to avoid visible seams on large walls.
- Pair wallpapers with modded furniture or framed blocks for a complete interior design overhaul.
