Color Spectrum
by beertjeMP
Color Spectrum adds 24 colored block sets, each painted one solid color, for builders who want a wider palette than vanilla dyes provide.
What it does
The mod's core content is a set of 24 new blocks, each in one solid color. Builders can use them for decoration, patterns and color-coded structures. A Neon version of the blocks is also included, giving brighter shades alongside the standard ones.
Color Spectrum is published for Fabric and Quilt, with the latest files covering 1.20.1 and earlier builds for 1.19.2. Because the environment is client and server, both the server and every player need the mod installed. The code is not open source; the project is released under All rights reserved, and the author tracks issues through a public issue tracker.
Key features
24 colored blocks
Each block is painted one solid color, so a build can use a full spectrum of distinct shades without mixing dyes.
Neon variants
A Neon version of the colored blocks adds brighter shades that stand out in a build or against the dark.
Named color set
The blocks carry names such as Electric Purple, Folly Red and Spring Green, which makes them simple to pick from the creative inventory.
Decorative focus
The content is aimed at building and decoration rather than survival mechanics, so it changes what players can place.

Use cases
Color-coded builds
Builders can give districts, signs or zones their own color, using one block per shade instead of tinted paint.
Pixel and mosaic art
Solid blocks in 24 hues make it practical to lay out mosaics and pixel-style murals on a large scale.
Who it’s for: Builders and creative players who want more solid-color blocks than vanilla offers, plus server owners who want those blocks available to everyone on a shared world.
How it compares
More Concretes is open source under the BSD 3-Clause License, runs on Fabric and Quilt, and is published for 1.18.2 – 26.3, a much wider range than Color Spectrum. Better Lightmap is client-side only and released under All rights reserved, so only players install it and servers run without it. Blasted Paint Blocks is a client and server mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, and it is limited to Fabric.
