-## Quick Start
+## Contents
 
-1. Clone this repo
-2. Edit `gradle.properties` - change `mod_id`, `mod_name`, `mod_description`, `mod_authors`
-3. Edit `settings.gradle` - change `rootProject.name`
-4. Rename `src/main/resources/assets/decocraft/mypack.json` to your pack name
-5. Update `decocraft.json` to point to your renamed file
-6. Add your content (see below)
-7. `./gradlew build` - jar goes to `build/libs/`
+- 5 painting series with variants (48 total)
+- Painting 1: 10 variants (A-J)
+- Painting 2: 11 variants (A-K)
+- Painting 3: 11 variants (A-K)
+- Painting 4: 11 variants (A-K)
+- Painting 5: 5 variants (A-E)
 
-The output jar contains both `fabric.mod.json` and `META-INF/neoforge.mods.toml`,
-so it loads on either mod loader without separate builds.
+Each series shares a BBModel shape with different textures per variant.
+Variants cycle with the decobrush tool.
 
-## Adding Content
+## File Structure
 
-For each block you add, you need:
-
-| File | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| `mypack.json` | Entry in the `models` array defining the block |
-| `blockstates/{id}.json` | 4 facing variants pointing to block model |
-| `models/block/{id}.json` | Block model referencing bbmodel + texture |
-| `models/item/{id}.json` | Item model referencing item texture |
-| `models/bbmodel/{model}.bbmodel` | BlockBench model file |
-| `textures/block/{id}.png` | Block texture |
-| `textures/item/{id}.png` | Item/inventory texture |
-| `lang/en_us.json` | Display name: `"block.decocraft.{id}": "Name"` |
-
-All assets go under `assets/decocraft/` (the main decocraft namespace).
-

-- `"script"` - tool_modelswitch, on_use, triggers, particles, etc.
-
-### Model Switching (cycle variants with decobrush)
-
-```json
-"script": {
-  "tool_modelswitch": {
-    "link": "next_variant_id"
-  }
-}
+assets/decocraft/
+    decocraft.json          - manifest
+    groups.json             - paintings creative tab
+    paintings.json          - all 48 painting definitions
+    models/bbmodel/         - 5 BBModel files (one per series)
+    textures/block/         - 48 block textures
+    textures/item/          - 48 item textures
+    lang/en_us.json         - display names
 ```
 
-Chain the last variant back to the first to create a cycle.
+Blockstates, block models, item models, item definitions, and loot tables
+are all generated dynamically at runtime by the main Decocraft mod.
 
-## Creative Tab
+## Building
 
-Your `tabs` value becomes a creative tab. Add the tab name to `lang/en_us.json`:
-```json
-"itemGroup.decocraft.your_tab_name": "Decocraft - Your Tab"
 ```
+./gradlew build
+```
+
+Output jar goes to `build/libs/`.
 
 ## Version Compatibility
 
-Version ranges are open-ended (`>=`), so the pack works with any Decocraft 3.0.7+
-on Minecraft 26.1+. Bump `decocraft_version` in `gradle.properties` if you use
-features from a newer decocraft release.
+Works with Decocraft 4.0+ on Minecraft 26.1+.
