Hi there, hoping to raise 4J's attention with this...
There has been a bit of a debate around the place whether paintings are infact glitched or not, so I have uploaded a video proving that they are. Maybe not in newly created worlds, but in my old world there is definately a glitch.
Here is an explanation of whats happening in the video below:
( Side Note: This is a map that I have been working on since minecraft xbox 360 first came out, this map was started in the very week that minecraft launched on xbox. It used to have plenty of paintings on it (not sure how many), but all paintings and item frames have now been deleted, there are no paintings in this world right now.)
There seems to be an area within my city that is glitched for paintings.... I'm not sure exactly how big this area is, but it covers at least a 200x200 block area, maybe bigger.
What happens is I can place paintings freely outside of this area, but as soon as I try to place a painting inside this area, I cannot place one again at all, even if I go back outside of the area to where I could previously place one, I no longer can.
There are currently ZERO paintings or item frames in this world, absolutely none, yet in a large region of my city it will not let me place them, then once I leave that area, I can no longer place them anywhere in the world.
Here is the video showing it (apologies for the poor quality, it was filmed with a mobile phone as I have no access to a capture card):
You can see the glitch unfold:
1) I can place paintings freely.
2) I move to the gliched area of my city and can no longer place them.
3) I return to where I could previously place the paintings before trying the glitched area, and I can no longer place the paintings there either.
I really hope 4J can manage to fix this... This city has been worked on since the release of Minecraft and is huge, not having the paintings is a real let down, they were important for decorating :(.
To all the people who doubted that the game is glitched as far as paintings go, theres your proof.

Do signs count as part of the painting/item frame total?
No, signs do not count towards the 200 painting/item frame limit. Only paintings and item frames count towards that particular limit. OverlookeDEnT tested signs in the same world as one where he had hit the painting/item frame limit and finally gave up after having placed 1001 signs in addition to 200 paintings/item frames.
This is now sounding suspiciously like a chunk related error in this specific world. Neither OverlookeDEnt nor I could cause it to happen in newly created worlds that we tested in. I will test it again in a very old world I have kicking around later tonight.
I'll test it in an older world today. That's just weird...
Have you tried breaking the block first.. where you wish to place a painting/frame.
Kind of to "update it"
I had this same problem in my tu2 world.... when you play your world in offline mode it fixes the problem. Since they patch it you also lose some of your paintings if you where over the limit.
I know this off topic but I have to say those are some nice buildings and I loooove that ship!
Has anyone bothered checking whether this limit is specific to an area of chunks or whether the 200 limit applies to the entire world. On the PC, some of the limits are specific to chunks or a small area of chunks. So there are in part 2 separate limits. Like a local limit and an overall world limit.

That is going to be part of what I check out in an older world tonight. When I ran my tests the other night, all my paintings/item frames were within three adjacent chunks of each other.

Yep ive tried breaking blocks first and replacing them before placing the painting, still doesnt work

Thanks for the reply, I thought the same as you that there may be chunk specific limits, but there are no paintings in the world at all anymore, and even if that area was over the limit, it still wouldnt let me place a painting back in the original area once the glitch kicked in.

I havent tried it in offline mode yet, I will tonight
And thanks! Thats only a very small portion of the city, but im glad you liked it

I ran some tests last night (late due to a family emergency). Anyway, the 200 limit definitely applies to the entire world, not just an area of chunks. However, I could not get any sort of repeat of the OPs issue in my oldest and most developed world. I did think of one thing that might be possible... Zoe's world is far more developed than anything I have; and it seems to me that awhile ago many people were having problems with chunk errors and crashes in worlds with massive builds in singular areas. I'm suspicious that, rather than the age of the world, the issue may be related to chunk errors in massively developed worlds.
PS: I was playing offline, so it may also be this.
Thanks to everyone who is replying here & sending me PM's about this problem, I really appreciate it and hopefully 4J can fix it, because no paintings does make it a bit difficult to decorate, the 200 limit is bad enough when you are trying to create a realistic city but not being able to place any at all in most of my city is even more annoying, especially in places like my McDonalds, where i had pictures creating a realistic menu etc... but anyway.
I did some more testing on my world, I tried the same thing in offline mode and the same problem still occurs in offline mode, so unfortunately thats not an option.
I also did a bit more looking around my world and it turns out the area I can't place paintings in is actually a lot bigger than I though, about 80% of my map from my guess .
For the few people who PM'd me asking if I could show a bit more of the city, thanks for the nice messages and I uploaded a slightly longer video for you showing some more of it, and another example of the painting glitch as well... Someone also wanted to see what the stadium looked like inside so I showed that as well.
Keep in mind I have no capture card, but I did the best I could with my mobile phone.
Hopefully 4J can sort out a fix for this! Fingers crossed!
Thanks again everyone, that's why I love this forum, the community is awesome when people have problems
Heres the video showing the glitch again and a little more of the world (a lot of it I cant show as I cant record for long on my phone without filling its memory).

Can you tell us if you have used the duplicating glitch in your world.
Yes a long time ago, but I dont see how it would be causing this at all, because I havent dup'd since creative mode came out and this was never a problem until the latest title update 10.

If I counted correctly which I likely didn't because hard to see which are which I only counted about 200 paintings... with the 200 limit we don't mean block space taken up but actual count of paintings/frames..

I have a couple more ideas of what could be causing the glitch which I will be testing out tomorrow, ill report back
Nope, none work in the affected areas
Yes a long time ago, but I dont see how it would be causing this at all, because I havent dup'd since creative mode came out and this was never a problem until the latest title update 10.
