Colored Foliage
by Suncat
Colored Foliage lets players dye plants in vanilla Minecraft, adding new color variants of flowers and other plants on Fabric for 1.21.1.
What it does
Players dye plants with dye items, which turns a flower or plant into a new colored variant. The result is a decoration piece for gardens, paths and building projects, and the variants are added alongside the vanilla plants rather than replacing them. The mod is built for the purpose of fitting neatly into builds, so it suits creative and survival projects that need more colors in landscaping.
Colored Foliage requires Fabric and is published only for Fabric, with a single game version, 1.21.1. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The author is Suncat, and the project has public links for its source code and issue tracker, though the code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Rainbowing Blocks is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11, with the client and server environment and the All rights reserved license, so it targets a later game version than Colored Foliage. Pale Overgrowth is a Fabric mod for 1.21.4 and also uses the client and server environment under All rights reserved. ComPOTability is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1, the same version as Colored Foliage, released under the MIT License and running on client and server. Colored Names is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and is client-side only under the Apache License 2.0, so players alone install it and servers need nothing.
