Cross Stitch Colours
by navarayuk
Cross Stitch Colours is a Forge and NeoForge decoration mod that adds DMC thread colour blocks, so pixel art built in Minecraft can match a cross stitch pattern.
What it does
The mod adds blocks in the DMC thread colour range used by a cross stitch palette. Each colour is available as a block and can be placed to recreate a stitched pattern at build scale. The author created it while building patterns from their own cross stitch work, after finding that small thread-based patterns were hard to follow on screen.
Colours were matched against several online sources and checked one by one, and the author notes that a few shades could not be confirmed as exact. A DMC colour code is listed for each block, and the author asks for missed colours to be reported with their hex or DMC code. Cross Stitch Colours runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, across six game versions 1.19.2 – 26.1.2, and the license is All rights reserved.

What the author says
This mod was created for my wife as she as Meniere's disease and fibromyalgia and sadly her Meniere's disease is a rare version and suffers all the time, so looking at small threads are so more stressful for her, and the pain she can get from the fibromyalgia on top means it becomes almost impossible for her to do…
