About this project

What does Colormatic add?

Overview

Colormatic is a mod that allows resource packs to customize hard coded colors in Minecraft. Using Colormatic, resource packs can change the colors of

  • Swamp, dark oak, and other grass
  • Birch and spruce leaves
  • Water
  • Sky and fog
  • Particles
  • Crops
  • Dyes
  • Lightmaps
  • ... and more!

Colormatic implements the functionality of the custom colors mod on Fabric, and is compatible with resource packs that use Optifine's custom colors feature.

Resource Pack Artists

If your resource pack uses Optifine custom colors, then that part of it should automatically work with Colormatic. However, Colormatic offers additional abilities that don't have a counterpart in Optifine, including

  • Support for modded and datapack biomes and dimensions
  • Stackable biome colormaps
  • Custom biomes in grid format colormaps
  • Loading JSON from the colormatic:colormap location

Check out the GitHub wiki for information on how to use these features.

Dependencies

  • Fabric API (Required*)

The in-game mod configuration screen is accessible via ModMenu or similar.

*Colormatic only requires fabric-resource-loader (or Quilt's equivalent) to be present. This is most easily available through the Fabric API distribution.

Compatibility

Colormatic is fully compatible with Sodium.
