ColorSaturation (Color Boost)
by Polyfrost
Color Boost lets players recolor the world with a saturation shader, adjusting the strength of colors from full grayscale to punchier tones.
What it does
The mod is a shader that changes how colors appear on screen. Saturation can be raised for brighter tones or lowered until the view turns to grayscale, which suits players who want a different mood without swapping resource packs. Sliders for contrast, brightness and hue sit alongside the saturation control.
ColorSaturation requires OneConfig and Fabric Language Kotlin, and OneConfig is bundled inside the mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Ornithe, with the latest Fabric build targeting 26.3 and the latest Forge and Ornithe builds targeting 1.8.9. The mod is client-side only and released under a custom license that is not open source. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
Saturation slider
Raises colors for a punchier look or lowers them toward grayscale to play without color.
Contrast, brightness and hue
Additional sliders adjust contrast, brightness and hue alongside the saturation setting.
Full-screen shader effect
The recoloring applies to the whole rendered world, so every block, mob and sky shifts together.
Polyfrost status check
The mod points players to Polyfrost Status when a Polyfrost service is down, so they can confirm an outage.

Vivid screenshots
Raising saturation gives brighter colors for photographs or videos of a build or a landscape.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric, Forge or Ornithe who want to change the color balance of the game on their own client. Servers do not need the mod, since only the client runs it.

ColorSaturation is a shader that recolors your world. Crank the saturation up for punchier colors, or pull it all the way down to play in grayscale. There are sliders for contrast, brightness and hue too. ColorSaturation needs OneConfig and Fabric Language Kotlin.
