With Chalk you can mark your way through the vast world of Minecraft®!
This is a Forge mod.
Playing on Fabric? Here's a port: Chalk (Fabric) by DaFuqsy.
Details:
- To make a chalk you'll need a piece of Calcite and Dye, any color will do
- Chalks can also be found in underground chests, as well as in some villages
- Mark will point at a direction depending on which part of a block was clicked. Sneak+Right Click will draw an X-mark
- You'll need a good flat surface to draw a mark on. Any full side of a block will suffice
- If you made a mistake - just draw a new mark on top of it, no need to brake it first
- Store your chalks in a Chalk Box
- To make a mark glow - use Glowstone Dust or Glowing Ink Sac on it. It will even slightly light up surrounding area
- If Glowstone of Glowing Ink is held in offhand - marks will be drawn glowing.
- You can draw on Supplementaries Blackboard with chalks. Enable colored_blackboard in Supplementaries config for colored drawings
- Glowing Inc Sac from Caves and Cliffs Backport or Upgrade Aquatic can also be used to make a mark glow (1.16)
This mod was heavily inspired by Ariadne Coal item from Engineer's Tools by wilechaote.
I love this mod to death, but my only problem is that I'm cursed. EVERY. SINGLE. WORLD. I've made since 1.18, my underground is either Swiss Cheese that makes "caving" literally impossible, or they're flooded.
Chalk kinda helps with the first one, but the latter is... problematic, and i'm sure i'm not the only one who only has the option to explore aquatic caves, and man those things are confusing, so easy to get lost in, and Chalk doesn't work underwater.
So what if there was a way to make 'water proof chalk', something as easy as slime balls and the chalk to make underwater version of chalk, so there's a bit more use to exploring water caves!
In the images, did you decorate the caves yourself? Or is that a mod?
If it's a mod, please, gimme. If not, looks nice.

I've decorated the caves myself :)

In reply to SingingMountains:
I'm glad you're enjoying the mod. Thank you!
In reply to mortuus_art:
why thank YOU dude!
This might be a weird question, but I cannot figure out how to open the chalk box??
In reply to ZleepyBeazzt:
right click while not pointing at a block (in the air)
Hello, I have some small questions for you.
One of them being how could I hotswap the color of chalk in the chalk box, and the other being do you have some form of social media or blog where you post your art? Your pfp is absolutely stunning.
In reply to Bobisnotap:
Chalk box chooses first slot in order to draw with. So to change chalk color you will have to move it to be before others.
There is no way to to do it other way (at least currently).
I have an ArtStation profile: artstation.com/mortuus
But I haven't drawn anything meaningful in a couple of years.
In reply to mortuus_art:
Oh ok, I am fine with swapping them manually, I was just a bit curious if I was missing something, though another method of swapping chalk would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for linking your ArtStation by the way! I'm an absolute sucker for skulls and hooded figures.
Does this work with Rubidium and Oculus?
In reply to kade7263:
I haven't tested it with shaders.
No issues with rubidium.
In reply to mortuus_art:
With shaders, chalk with glowing ink/stone won't emit light. Yeah, practically, system tells it emits light, but with shader, won't emit light visually.
Love this mod but how in the world do you add the chalk to an empty box???
In reply to LordCys:
Right click the box while not looking at any block - this will open the gui.
In reply to mortuus_art:
Thank you so much!!
make it for 1.19,OR YOU CANT DO THAT ?
In reply to addloumia23460:
That trick only works on danidev
I would like to suggest adding a circle. Since crouch button makes it an X, you could use the sprint button for the circle.
