LIVE PAINTER & EDITOR
Allows players to customize the
textures, behavior and crafting
of items, blocks and entities in-game!
This mod uses the Starky's Randomizer library mod as a required dependency.
📊 Anonymous usage counter: This mod sends a single anonymous number — how many times APPLY has been used — to power the public Customizations counter shown above. No personal data, player data, or server data is ever collected or transmitted in this counter.
📈 Metrics: This mod uses HStats to report anonymous mod-usage metrics. No personal data is collected.
NOTE: Both can be disabled.
FAST NOTES:
-Main UI usage only affects the performance of the player using it.
-By default, players create custom variants of the original item/block/entity
when using "APPLY" in the main UI.
-Some unused textures will automatically be removed on a restart,
but it's highly recommended to manually removed unused Custom items/blocks/entities/textures.
-Players can swap between pages if the block/entity has more than 1 texture (like entity attachments).
-Only OP players can access and use
"EDIT BEHAVIOR (ONLY OP)" and "CRAFTING (ONLY OP)" tabs.
(EDIT BEHAVIOR tab also has "VIEW JSON" button, so OP players can edit it)
-Only OP players can use "/lpe" (or "/livepainter" or "/livepaintereditor") command
to access the main UI directly with the item/block in hand.
-If an OP players uses "/lpe" command with an empty main hand,
an alternative selector UI will open.
-There is a config UI menu for the Customizer Bench costs accessible with "/lpeconfig"
(or "/livepainterconfig" or "/livepaintereditorconfig"). OP only.
-Server owners/OP players can disable the Customizer Bench crafting recipe.
SERVER USE
Servers can use this mod to create custom variants of any item/block/entity and
then sell them for in-game resources or currency (not real money involved).
As with this mod you can choose to just re-texture,
you can create infinite cosmetics for free live in-game!
And UNDER PAID LICENSE
This license will allow your server network to include
anything re-textured with my mod into paid content.
PM me for further information regarding a license.
COOL TIP
Players can change the background of each UI
from the "wood with paint" to the "simple blue box" (or from blue to wood).
You can find this button at the top right of every UI.
It saves per player and per UI.

The Main UI can also be accessible from:
----> "/lpe" command (or "/livepainter" or "/livepaintereditor")
(same tabs as the Customizer Bench button, for items and blocks/placeables)
(OP players only)
----> Spray Painter
(just TEXTURE PAINTER tab for blocks/placeables and entities).
Changes APPLY live in game globally (all players).
By default, it generates a variant/copy of the selected item/block/entity,
unless it is already a Custom one.
(OP players can replace the original/vanilla item/block/entity/texture)
Non-OP players will always re-edit an already Custom item/block/entity.
(OP players also can use the "CLONE AS NEW (OP)" button
to clone the selected Custom item/block/entity)
TEXTURE PAINTER TAB
Any player can re-paint/edit the texture of the
selected item/block/entity/texture with advanced tools!
It's like having a Image Editor inside of Hytale!
For further information,
players can use the green HELP button to understand what everything does.
EDIT BEHAVIOR TAB (OP ONLY)
OP players can edit any part of the selected item's behavior.
Like damage outputs, damage resistances, interactions, keybinds,
tags, quality, categories, item light, item scale, max durability, etc.

Make your world/server UNIQUE live in-game!
MORE IMPORTANT NOTES

DEVELOPER API
CUSTOMIZER BENCH COSTS (OPTIONAL)
Other mods can change what the Customizer Bench charges.
Add it as an optional dependency in manifest.json:
"OptionalDependencies": { "StarkyMods:Live Painter & Editor": ">=1.0.0" }
Build against the jar with compileOnly. Because it's optional, keep the integration in a separate method and guard it, so your mod still runs when Live Painter isn't installed:
try { LivePainterCosts.setup(); } catch (Throwable ignored) { /* Live Painter not installed */ }
Inside that method, call org.starkymods.plugin.CustomizerBenchCostApi directly:
Change built‑in prices (persisted + live):
CustomizerBenchCostApi.setTierCost("Legendary", 25); // by Quality or block GatherType
CustomizerBenchCostApi.setSprayPainterCost("Ingredient_Life_Essence", 100);
CustomizerBenchCostApi.setPaintBottleCost("Ingredient_Life_Essence", 5);
Use your own economy — implement CustomizerBenchCostProvider; the bench shows displayText() and only customizes if charge(...) returns true:
CustomizerBenchCostApi.setCostProvider(new CustomizerBenchCostProvider() {
public String displayText() { return "500 Coins"; }
public boolean canAfford(Store<EntityStore> s, Ref<EntityStore> p) { return MyEconomy.balance(p) >= 500; }
public boolean charge(Store<EntityStore> s, Ref<EntityStore> p) { return MyEconomy.take(p, 500); }
public void refund(Store<EntityStore> s, Ref<EntityStore> p, String itemId) { MyEconomy.give(p, 500); } // if closed without applying
});
CustomizerBenchCostApi.clearCostProvider(); // restore built-in cost
