Iconic
by fre1q
Iconic is a Fabric decoration mod that lets players paint block faces with images, glow and dye effects from a single click.
What it does
Players hold a chalk in the main hand and the desired block or item in the off-hand, then paint a texture onto a surface. Images can be applied to a surface from the hand with one click. Crafting the chalk takes 2 calcite. Glow Ink Sacs add an illumination effect to a painted surface, and dye recolors the texture. Client and server both need the mod, and the files target 1.21.11 only, released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
