Colorful Crayons
by Halamajama
Colorful Crayons is a Fabric world generation mod for 1.21.1 that adds sixteen crayon colors which reveal hidden secrets deep within the world.
What it does
Sixteen crayon colors are the keys to the mod. Crayons look silly at first, but they lead to a dimension full of whimsy and magic, where a purple glazed terracotta frame and a trusty Purple Crayon open the way in.
Inside that dimension, players explore, gather new blocks with unique mechanics and collect Purple Ore. The ore is used to craft a new set of armor and tools that work differently from other gear. Cobblemon is required to use the mod, and with it installed, players can find different kinds of purple Pokémon across the dimension's biomes, a useful route to some otherwise hard-to-find Mons. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are built for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2026-07-06.
