What it does

Sand blocks can be recolored with dye, so builders get a range of tinted sand to use in colored patterns and scenes. The mod is intended for decoration, and it adds a set of chiseled sandstone blocks, including one carrying a creeper face, for more detailed surfaces. Tinted Sands requires Just Enough Items (JEI) and Tinted Dyes, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Dyeable sand blocks

    Sand blocks take dye and change to the chosen color, turning plain sand into colored building material.

  2. Chiseled sandstone variants

    Both types of chiseled sandstone are included, one of them with a creeper face, for decorative detail.

  3. Decoration focus

    The blocks are meant for building and decoration, with no gameplay systems attached to them.

How it compares

Full comparison

Dyeable Wood is a Forge and NeoForge mod that also adds dyeing, but for wood, and it is released under the MIT License for 1.19.4 – 1.21.1. Ancient Sands is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21 on Forge and NeoForge, so it suits a sand-focused world generation approach instead.
