Colorful Blocks

A paint bucket with 500 durability turns vanilla concrete into stained concrete in any color. Right-clicking a vanilla concrete block with the bucket converts it, and the bucket's current color is applied in the process. Right-clicking a stained concrete block recolors it to match the bucket, while shift plus right-click on other blocks opens the color picker instead. An empty bucket used on a dispenser paints the block in front of it.

The color picker offers RGB sliders, HSB sliders and a hex input field, giving access to a very large palette of shades. The interface shows the color name for an entered hex value and displays the color next to the matching dyed concrete appearance, which helps when choosing a shade. Color data is kept when a block is mined, so a dropped block carries its color with it.

The mod is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.21.1 and 26.1.2. The latest file is 2.8.1+26.1.2 for 26.1.2, released on 2026-08-19. Both the server and every player need the mod, and the code is open source under the MIT License. The name suggests glowing stained concrete, and the author notes that the Screenspace Colored Blocklight shaderpack can be enabled for a better visual effect with the glowing variant.
