Paint appears in a [[Blockhead]]'s [[inventory]] as a [[Tin Bucket|bucket]] overflowing with a liquid of its color. Different colors of paint are treated as different items in inventory and cannot be stacked with each other. Same paint colour with different order cannot be stacked together eg. orange from red + yellow cannot stack with the same orange from yellow + red.

The same paint color made using a different pigment order cannot be stacked together (eg. orange from red + yellow cannot stack with the same orange from yellow + red).


There is currently a total of 148 possible combination of different colored paints.

A [[Mixing Bench|mixing bench]] is used to create paint from a tin bucket, five [[oil]], and one to three units of [[pigment]]. The color of paint produced depends on the combination of dyes used, selected within the mixing bench menus. The level of the mixing bench is equal to the maximum number of dyes allowed for that mixing bench.

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, 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 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.

Placing most blocks in front of a painted back wall will remove the paint there which will not return if the block is removed. This applies to placing [[ice]] and using water bucket on a block as well. Painted side walls, floors, ceilings, and solid blocks are unaffected by this.

Removing a back wall by removing the generating block above it will remove any paint on it. A painted block that is removed and placed elsewhere will no longer be painted.
