CC: Graphics
by sashafiesta
With CC: Graphics installed, CC:Tweaked computers can draw pixel graphics in the CraftOS-PC graphics mode, both on Fabric and NeoForge.
What it does
CC: Graphics adds CraftOS-PC compatible graphics modes to CC:Tweaked terminals, covering modes 0, 1 and 2 along with a matching Lua API. Mode 1 offers 4-bit color with 16 colors, and mode 2 offers 8-bit color with 256 colors. The API includes calls such as setGraphicsMode, setPixel, drawPixels, getPixels and setFrozen. Bundled CraftOS-PC programs, including gfxpaint, pngview and raycast, run in the new modes.
Installing the mod needs CC:Tweaked on Minecraft 1.21.1, and the files cover that version only. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
CraftOS-PC graphics API

Two color depths
Mode 1 uses 16 colors and mode 2 uses 256 colors, with the extended palette available to programs.
Compressed network sync
Graphics data sent to clients is compressed with LZ4 and diff encoding to reduce network traffic.
Per-computer and grayscale options

Use cases

The raycast program shows that the mode can drive a simple 3D view inside a terminal.
Who it’s for: Players who build CC:Tweaked programs that need pixel output, and server owners who want to control graphics data use on their network.
