Catppuccin Palette
by miyucomics
Catppuccin Palette recolors the whole game view using the Catppuccin Mocha color scheme, applied through HALD CLUT lookup images in a resource pack.
What it does
Catppuccin Palette is a client-side mod for Fabric and Quilt that swaps the colors of the rendered screen in real time. The frame is sampled through a HALD CLUT level 14 image, a 2744x2744 lookup table, and each pixel is remapped to the palette. The default palette is Catppuccin Mocha, delivered as a resource pack, and the lookup texture at minecraft:textures/effect/lut.png is the part that gets replaced.
Players can supply their own palette by generating a HALD CLUT image, for example with lutgen-rs, and placing it in a resource pack. Changing the image takes effect after the resource packs are reloaded with F3 + T, so no restart is needed. A mod UI config file controls the settings. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the project uses Catppuccin palette assets under that license, with the Catppuccin trademark held by the Catppuccin Org.
Files are published for Fabric and Quilt across six release versions, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file on both loaders. Source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project page.
