A single bucket of paint can be used approximately 128 times (although side walls, floors, and ceilings may count half), slowly wearing down with each application. Each application will color one space unit of block, side wall, floor, ceiling or back wall. Starting in [[Game updates/20140402|version 1.5]], items such as [[ladder]]s, [[Wooden Bed|beds]], [[chest]]s, [[Shelf|shelves]], [[Display Cabinet|display cabinets]], [[safe]]s, [[sign]]s, [[shop]]s, [[column]]s, and [[stairs]] can be painted as well. When a bucket of paint is used up, an empty tin bucket will be returned.

Painting a ceiling, floor, or side wall surface requires accurate selection tapping, as they are typically only visible when positioned away from the center of the display. A Blockhead can paint any surface of an adjacent block, even if the bulk of the block is between the Blockhead and that surface. (In other words, a Blockhead can paint the far side of a block.)
Painting a ceiling, floor, or side wall surface, side of backwall (some people dont know this) requires accurate selection tapping, as they are typically only visible when positioned away from the center of the display. A Blockhead can paint any surface of an adjacent block, even if the bulk of the block is between the Blockhead and that surface. (In other words, a Blockhead can paint the far side of a block.)


Paint will not color the sides of a block if applied to its front or an adjacent back wall. A Blockhead using paint will not disturb a placed object such as a [[ladder]] or [[Oil Lantern|oil lantern]]. The base block of a [[portal]] placed in front of a painted back wall will adopt the painted color, and removing it will not remove the paint. Removing a front-painted block may transfer the paint to any back wall that remains. Painting ignores the presence of [[Crafting Surface|crafting surfaces]] and will apply to any back wall behind it.
Paint will not color the sides of a block if applied to its front or an adjacent back wall. A Blockhead using paint will paint placed object such as a ladder or sign instead of the back wall, Lighting like [[Oil Lantern|oil lantern]] will not be affected and so the backwall will be painted. The base block of a [[portal]] placed in front of a painted back wall will adopt the painted color, and removing it will not remove the paint. Removing a front-painted block may transfer the paint to any back wall that remains. Painting ignores the presence of [[Crafting Surface|crafting surfaces]] and will apply to any back wall behind it.


Any solid block can be painted, including [[glass]]. The basic texture (and transparency) of the painted block will tend to show through.
