Colorful Diamonds Mod
by Mystery2099
Colorful Diamonds lets players dye diamonds with any of Minecraft's 16 dye colors, so blocks, armor, tools and weapons can be made in matching colors.
What it does
Dyeing a diamond with a dye produces a colored diamond, which can be used in the same recipes that normally call for diamonds. Crafting full armor sets, tools and blocks from one color gives players a way to organize storage and decorate builds in any color they like, without changing the normal diamond progression.
Colored diamond gear works like regular diamond gear, with the same durability and stats, and it can still be upgraded to Netherite. Combining a colored diamond with a water bucket washes the color off and returns a normal diamond. The mod is aimed at building and decoration rather than new equipment progression. It requires Architectury API, Fabric API and Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL), depending on the loader. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, for 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.19.4, and the environment is client and server.

What the author says
Colorful Diamonds is a pretty simple mod: it lets you dye diamonds with any of Minecraft's 16 dyes, then use those colored diamonds to make matching blocks, armor, tools, and weapons. The colored gear is meant to work just like normal diamond gear, so this is mostly about giving you more ways to organize your stuff…
