Paintable
by Im_Maker
With Paintable, players can paint walls and most wooden and brick blocks using a paint bucket and a paintbrush, adding a color layer to existing builds.
What it does
The mod adds a paint bucket and a paintbrush. Using them on a supported block recolors it, so a wall can be repainted without rebuilding it. The paintable surface covers logs, planks, bricks and the variant blocks cut from them, including stairs, slabs, fences and doors.
Painted variants of logs, stripped logs, planks and bricks are added as new blocks, and the same painted look extends to signs, hanging signs, boats and chest boats. Paintable is developed for Fabric and Forge, and the latest builds target 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, with 1.9.0 for 1.20.1 as the newest file. Both client and server need it, and the license is custom and not open source.

Use cases
Recoloring existing builds
A player can repaint a finished wall in a different color instead of replacing its blocks.
Themed building
Painted variants let builders mix matching colors across stairs, doors and furniture-style blocks.
Who it’s for: Builders and decorators on Fabric or Forge who want color variants of wood and brick blocks. Server owners need it installed alongside the client for paint to work on multiplayer worlds.
How it compares
Quality Sounds is client-side only, is released under the MIT License and is not open source, with files for 1.19.2 – 1.20.2 on Fabric and Forge. Painted Blocks is server-required with client optional, is published under a custom license for 1.21.4 – 26.1 and is not open source. Paintable is client and server, so both sides need it.
