How do I play with my friends?
One of you presses Create a party and gets a 5-character code. Everyone else opens createtextures.com/party, types that code and presses Join, or opens the invite link. Up to 12 people can be in one room, and you can each be on a different device.
What are the modes?
Classic: everyone paints the same item their own way and votes. Twist: the same, but each round has a surprise theme such as Lava, Candy or Spooky. Memory: the real texture is shown for 6 seconds and you paint it from memory, and the game scores how close you got. Blind: you can see the item's outline but not your own paint.
How does the scoring work?
In Classic, Twist and Blind, every other player gives your painting 1 to 5 diamonds. Your points for the round are the average times 20, so between 20 and 100, and the round's best painting gets 25 more. In Memory nobody votes: your points are how closely your painting matches the real texture, from 0 to 100, plus 25 for the closest. A painting left untouched scores nothing.
Can I play alone?
Memory mode can be played alone, because the game does the scoring. The other three modes need at least two players, since someone has to vote.
Can I use the paintings in Minecraft?
Yes. When the game ends, the party pack holds every round's winning painting as a real texture. Download it for Java Edition (1.21.1 and newer) and put the zip in your resourcepacks folder, or download it for Bedrock Edition and open the file. The winning sword replaces the sword in your game.
Can I change how I look?
Yes. Press Change your look to open the wardrobe: pick one of 22 heads (the nine default players and thirteen mobs such as the Creeper and the Enderman) or type any Minecraft player's name to wear their head, then add a hat, glasses and something for the face. You can keep changing it in the lobby. If you are signed in with your Minecraft account, your name and head are your own and only what you wear can be changed.
Is it safe for kids?
Rooms are private: nobody can find or join one without its code, and there is no list of open rooms. There is no chat. Names are filtered, the host can remove a player, and paintings are 16 by 16 pixels.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The canvas is sized for a finger, and players on phones, tablets and computers can all be in the same room.
