Woods
by MisterCosmos
Woods is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that adds a colorable block, an energy-based tool and a GUI where players set colors by hexadecimal code.
What it does
Woods adds a block that is instant to break and works as a decoration. Its color is stored as an integer in the woods:colors NBT tag, so a value of 255 gives blue and 16777215 gives white. The color survives placement and pickup because it is kept on the BlockEntity, and the block, its item form and inventory slots are all drawn in the stored color through dynamic rendering.
The mod also includes an energy-based tool whose capacity is 100, kept in an Energy NBT tag. Using the tool opens an interface where a player types a HEX color code in the RRGGBB form. Woods depends on the NBT library, which must be present alongside it. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1.
Key features
Colored blocks
The block takes a color from its stored value and keeps it when placed or picked up again.
Color through NBT
Each block stores its color as an integer under the woods:colors key, so any color value can be kept.
Energy-based tool
A tool with a capacity of 100 energy, saved in an Energy tag, is used to set colors.
HEX color input
A GUI opened on use accepts a color typed as six hexadecimal digits in the RRGGBB form.

Use cases
Decorative building
Builders who want many shades of a single block can set each piece to a chosen color without crafting separate variants.
Color matching on servers
Server owners who need a fixed palette can rely on the stored NBT value, which remains the same after a block is moved.
Who it’s for: Players who build with colored blocks, and server owners who need consistent colors across a world.
