Minecraft players are very creative with what they build. Even after many years, you can find new ways to hide your boxes.
There are a lot of ways to hide your boxes in Minecraft. Now the painting trick is becoming popular on social media. However, it is worth thinking it through and maybe diversifying it a bit so that it does not necessarily reveal it easily.
It’s all about dropping the item that activates the pistons properly. The weakest point of the mechanism is its legibility.

The method is not incredibly sophisticated, but it may surprise you. It doesn’t require a lot of resources and the mechanism can be built in 30 seconds.
The only problem is that it’s fairly easy to spot a secret here. To make it more “believable” you would have to add other blocks as well, maybe more paintings.
At this point, it’s pretty obvious that the painting is a secret since the whole wall is just bookshelves. The room itself doesn’t help here, but the whole thing has potential.
