by Sashiro

With Dyeable Color Variants, players can recolor the vanilla blocks that come in several colors, such as wool, carpets and beds, by applying dye.

What it does

The mod lets a block in the color-variant families be re-colored with dye, so a single base block can be turned into any of the sixteen dye shades. Its behavior is driven by a data pack, which covers the color-variant vanilla blocks that the mod supports, including concrete powders, glazed terracotta and stained glass together with stained glass panes.

Recoloring applies to the blocks listed in the data pack, so the set of supported blocks depends on the pack's contents. The author text names candles, beds and banners among the items that need dye for recoloring. Dyeable Color Variants requires 8 desired dye colors to be present in a recipe. Installation is on the server, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 27 release versions, 1.13 – 1.19.4, under All rights reserved.

A server running the mod is what lets players recolor blocks, while clients can join with or without it. Snapshot builds are published as well. Its only file line is 1.0+mod for 1.19.4 on each loader, dated 2023-04-28, and the project was first published and last updated on that date.

Key features

  2. Data pack driven

    The set of recolorable blocks and their behavior is defined in a data pack rather than in code.

    Concrete powders and glazed terracotta are supported as color-variant families for dye recoloring.
