BeaconPalette
by BaoZ1
BeaconPalette lets players tint beacon beams, using a stained glass plate fed into a container block that changes the beam's color.
What it does
Colorful beacon beams are the focus here: towering blocks gain a colored beam, and a container block changes that color. The new glass plate item, placed into the stainer block, sets which glass plate color is applied, and the mod tries to match the color a player asks for as closely as possible.
BeaconPalette is a Fabric mod for 1.21.5 only, published under the MIT License and open source. It runs on the client and server, so both need it. The source code is public.
Key features
Colored beacon beams
Beacon beams can show colors beyond the vanilla beam mix, for a more varied look on tall structures.
Glass plate stainer
A stainer block takes a glass plate as input and uses it to set the color applied to the beam.
Container block control
A container block changes the beam color, and the stainer tries to reach the color a player wants as closely as possible.

How it compares
LootBeamsFabric is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.18.2, so it does not match the 1.21.5 files. Tinted Beacons is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.18.1 – 1.19.4. BeamPass is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and covers 1.19 – 1.21.5; a player can install it on one side alone, and neither side needs it.
