Colorful pots
by Fiverka21
Colorful pots lets players recolor decorative pots at a smithing table by applying smithing and armor trim materials to them.
What it does
A pot can be given a new appearance at a smithing table, using materials that the vanilla smithing system already accepts. The mod lists gold bars, iron bars, copper bars, amethyst shards, lapis lazuli, orange dye as a resin brick variant, and ancient debris among the usable inputs, so a pot's look can follow the materials a player has gathered. Armor trim materials can also be used to customize pots.
Colorful pots runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge across twelve release versions, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the source code is open source and the issue tracker is public.

Armor trim materials can be used to customize a pot's appearance, adding more variety to the set of options.

A resin brick variant of the orange dye is among the accepted inputs, for a lower-cost color option.
