Cyanstone
Cyanstone lets players change the colors of certain redstone blocks through a colormap, using resource packs instead of fixed hardcoded colors.
What it does
Cyanstone changes how certain redstone blocks are colored by reading a colormap, so the color of redstone can be altered with resource packs. The name comes from the original plan, which was to replace the hardcoded cyan color that the colormap used. Because the color is driven by a single texture file, a resource pack can also change redstone particles.
The mod is a Fabric library for players who want custom redstone colors on the client. Its resource packs can be added alongside other packs, and the author notes that a collection of packs covers the 15 vanilla dye colors, including red, plus pride-themed packs. The mod runs on the client only, so a server does not need it.
Cyanstone is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. It is published for Fabric only, with 19 release versions 1.20 – 26.2, and the latest file is 1.6.0 for 26.2. Its source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.
Key features
Colormap-driven redstone colors
Certain redstone blocks take their color from a colormap instead of a fixed value.
Single-file particle colors
One texture file can set the color of redstone particles along with the blocks.
Cyanstone resource packs
Separate Cyanstone resource packs add color collections and pride-themed sets, which are kept apart to save space in the pack screen.
