Rainbow Shenanigans
by A5b84
Rainbow Shenanigans changes a handful of color behaviors in Minecraft, from how colored blocks are sorted in the creative inventory to how sheep and splash text use colors.
What it does
Colored blocks and dye items are regrouped in the creative inventory so that related colors sit together. The mod also changes the order in which colors are listed, and the color order can be adjusted one entry at a time in a configuration screen. That screen is reached through Mod Menu, which is optional and only needed to open it.
Sheep that cycle through colors when they are named jeb_ now move through the palette in a more rainbow-like sequence. Colormatic-style splash text is also altered so that its colors change. The mod needs Cloth Config 4.9 or later, which must be installed alongside it. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt across nine release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.19.2, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
Some settings in the configuration use dye colors written with underscores, while others use spaces, so names may need to match the form each setting expects. Rainbow Shenanigans runs on the client alone, so only the player needs it. The latest file, v1.0.1 for 1.19.2, was released on 2022-09-03, after the first publication on 2022-08-31.
