How to use it

Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first painting, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total square blocks. Try Pointer against Kebab to see 16 small paintings equal one large canvas.

Values are area in square blocks from Mojang Java game data as documented in the Painting canvases table. Each entry note states the block dimensions so area stays verifiable. This table keeps the 26 classic canvases. Newer 2024 and 2025 additions stay out to keep the classic set clean. Unused elemental variants stay out because they need commands.
