Pastel
by Terrarium
With Pastel installed, players travel through a long, expansive journey of exploration, color resonance and natural energy, from the surface down past the bedrock.
What it does
Pastel is a full-feature magic mod built around exploration. Its progression centers on color, and the mod's concepts of journey, truth, beauty and hatred shape the content players encounter. Players can discover magic color and pursue its meaning to craft new tools, while the rich logistics system and a set of machines let them assemble contraptions that support the march toward the heart of magic. Players who finish the early chapters descend past the false floor of the earth into a fledged dimension.
The mod includes about 40 hours of content, two armor sets, over 30 tools, nearly 30 curios and far more foods than most players will sample. Descending below the bedrock reveals a final chapter and a world left behind, reached through the deepest abyss. Pastel runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for game version 1.21.1, and the latest build is 1.1.5.5 from 2026-02-07. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

What the author says
Colors are such curious things. Their vibrance, their meanings, the way they make up the world around us. Don't they make you want to grasp out at them - at the color itself - to understand their essence?
