Blocks & Decoration A grand design-like item for paint

[Char Natorn]

This item will function like grand design, but for paint instead, and paints it in a square instead of a line. It will allow you to choose the paint color or coating you want with right click, and whether you want to paint blocks, walls, or scrape it off.

Painting could use some convenience improvements, but the devs have on more than one occasion mentioned that giving other items the grand design-like features is apparently quite a pain(t). The only reason the shellphone got added is that they abandoned that idea and made it cycle location when right clicking it instead. So, while I don't dislike the idea, I don't think we can expect it to get added officially. At least not in this game.

Do you know if there's any reason why they couldn't add painting tools that affect a square bigger than 1x1? I never heard a comment on this but seeing how there's only been a single tool (the Shovel) added that works like that I'm guessing it isn't easy to add either.

Could be that it's hard to program, could be that it's just something they haven't thought of or considered important. I haven't seen them say anything about it, but I don't touch social media and haven't read every dev post here either, so it's entirely possible that they've made a statement on it somewhere. Quick (probably not new) idea based on what you said: painting instruments can cycle between 1x1, 3x3 and 5x5 with a right click, since right-click-to-change items are apparently easier to add. Either add it to current paint tools or make an extra fancy luminite painting set with the new function.
