Block Palettes

by Mocretion

Block Palettes lets a player define a palette of blocks, give each one a weight, and then build with a random mix from it.

FabricNeoForgeClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.21.1 – 26.1.2

What it does

A palette is a named set of blocks the player adds by hand, each with a weight that sets how often that block appears in the texture. Once a palette is defined, selecting it in the hotbar slot and closing the menu is enough to start building with it. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything. Block Palettes is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and files target 1.21.1 – 26.1.2 on Fabric and NeoForge.

Key features

  1. Custom palettes

    Blocks are added to a palette by the player, and the menu lists every palette already defined for reuse.

  2. Weighted textures

    Each block carries a weight that controls how often it occurs in the built texture, so common and rare blocks can be mixed.

  3. Hotbar selection

    Choosing a palette in a hotbar slot and closing the menu starts building with that palette.

What the author says

Each palette contains blocks added by yourself, with a weight assigned to them. The weight specifies how often a block should occur in your texturing. After defining a plaette, select a hotbar slot it should work on and select the palette itself. Close the menu, select the hotbar slot and start building.
