Colorful Bricks
by coolejc
Colorful Bricks adds dyeable brick blocks and items to Fabric, letting players color their bricks with dyes and mix colors through crafting.
What it does
Brick items and bricks blocks gain a set of colors, and the mod adds recipes that combine a brick with a dye to produce a colored version. Some recipes turn one brick item into several, and a blended color can be made by combining green, blue and yellow dyes. The brown bricks have been renamed in the mod's language files, so the brown variant appears under a clearer name.
Installation needs Fabric API alongside the mod on Fabric. Colorful Bricks runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.11, twelve release versions in all, and the latest build is v1.0.0 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-01-30. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project.
