Dyable Faces

by kiwiKcz

Dyable Faces lets players paint individual faces of a block with a bucket-and-brush tool, instead of recoloring the whole block.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21.4 – 26.1

What it does

Players hold a dye bucket in the off-hand and a brush in the main hand, then click to soak the brush and paint single block faces. Breaking a block while holding a sponge removes paint within an 8-block radius. Each bucket is good for up to 450 uses, which suits large projects. A Create Paint Bucket recipe combines a resin water bottle, an empty bucket and a dye of choice, and a resin water bucket is also available as a dye source.

The mod targets builders who want detail on walls, signs and furniture without changing the whole block. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across nine release versions, 1.21.4 – 26.1, and also has a data pack build. The server needs the mod, while players may add it to use the brush on their side. The code is not open source; the author holds all rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Single-face painting

    Paint an individual face of a block, leaving the other faces and the block's shape unchanged.

  2. Brush and bucket workflow

    Hold the bucket in the off-hand and the brush in the main hand, then soak the brush to start coloring.

  3. Paint removal with a sponge

    Break a block while holding a sponge to clear paint within an 8-block radius.

  4. Resin water dye

    A resin water bucket serves as a dye, and the Create Paint Bucket combines a resin water bottle, an empty bucket and a chosen dye.

  5. Long-lasting buckets

    Each paint bucket supports up to 450 uses, so large builds need fewer refills.
