Colorstone
Colorstone lets a resource pack recolor the redstone power levels, so the 0 to 15 signal values display in colors chosen by the pack's author.
What it does
Colorstone reads a plain text file placed in a resource pack and uses it to set a color for each redstone power level. Each file lists one color per power level from 0 upward, and the first valid line for a level decides its color. A line that does not match the expected format is skipped without stopping the rest of the file.
The mod only changes how redstone signals appear on the client, so it has no effect on gameplay. Colorstone is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code published. Files cover 1.17, 1.17.1, 1.18 and 1.18.1, and the latest Fabric build, 1.0.0, targets 1.18.1 and was released on 2022-01-16.
Key features
Per-level color files
A text file inside a resource pack directory assigns a color to each redstone power level, so pack authors control the palette.
Format-based parsing
Each line follows a fixed format, for example a line setting power level 4 to grey. Invalid lines are skipped.
Partial recoloring
A pack can change only some colors, leaving the rest of the power levels at their default appearance.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Custom redstone palettes
A resource pack author can build a color scheme for redstone signals that matches a texture set or a build theme.
Readable signal strength
Distinct colors for different power levels make it easier to read signal strength at a glance in a redstone build.
Who it’s for: Resource pack authors who want to change how redstone power levels look, and players who install those packs on the client side. Colorstone is client-side only, so servers do not need it.
