Color Blocks

by hiimjustin000

Color Blocks, a Fabric decoration mod, adds solid-colored blocks that can be recolored from an in-game menu for building and design work.

What it does

Solid color blocks are the core of the mod. Each block represents a 24-bit color, and a customization menu inside the block lets a builder change its main color, its frame and the speed of its animation. Color presets cover 139 CSS colors and 16 Minecraft colors, so a build can match a palette without typing values by hand.

Color animations can run with a speed the builder sets, which makes it possible to build shifting color patterns. Fabric API must be installed beside Color Blocks, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The 1.0.0 file for 1.21.1 was published on 2024-09-21, and the code is released under the MIT License as open source.
