Refined Mosaic Blocks

by uraneptus

Refined Mosaic Blocks, a Fabric and NeoForge decoration mod, adds mosaic blocks that can be recolored with dye and read as a redstone signal.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21 – 1.21.1

What it does

Placed mosaic blocks take their look from the Create Beautiful Murals mosaic style, and blocks from the mod also work in Create contraptions. Changing a placed block's rotation takes a shift-click with an empty hand. Dyes applied to a mosaic block recolor it, with a configurable chance that the dye is consumed. A game rule sets that chance anywhere from 0% to 100%.

A wet sponge removes the color from mosaic blocks on contact. A mosaic block's color output differs as a redstone comparator signal, so the strength read from a comparator reflects the block's color. The mod has compatibility additions for colors from one dye-themed companion and integration with a decoration pack for extra blocks.

The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest build on both loaders. The original mod was developed by ilja615, and this version is continued by uraneptus, who notes that new features are planned next. The code is not open source and the license is All rights reserved.

Key features

    Each dye application has a configurable chance to use up the dye, set by a game rule from never to always.

  3. Redstone comparator output

    Mosaic blocks give a comparator signal whose strength depends on their color.

    Rotation of a placed mosaic block can be changed with a shift-click while holding nothing.

This mod is a port of the original Mosaic Blocks mod and adds mosaic blocks that can be used for decoration. Craft it from diorite and glass, then pick one of the 16 patterns in the stone cutter, and then right click the block with the dye of your choice. The blocks can also have different rotations, just like glazed…
