(Formally known as Colorable Quartz)
One of the most popular building materials in Minecraft is Quartz because of its clean design. The only drawback to using it, however, is that it only comes in 1 color... Until now!
(IMPORTANT) Updating from 1.0.0:
Please note that structures built with 1.0.0 blocks will be deleted if upgrading to a later version. All versions past 1.0.0 will be fully compatible with future updates, however.
The reason behind rewriting:
I am rewriting this mod from scratch for multiple reasons. The main reason being that I've learned alot when it comes to programming since 1.0.0, and to put this knowledge to use would require a full rewrite of the mod. Another of the biggest reasons I felt it was necessary to start from scratch is because 1.0.0 is 4.8mb. For a mod that adds so little this size is incredibly unnecessary, 2.0 is under half the size of 1.0.0 and yet has over quadruple the content.
What's new from 1.0.0?
2.0 Release adds the following things:
- Better textures
- More balanced paint recipe
- Paint now has a finite number of uses (64) before you have to create new paint
- OreDictionary for maximum compatibility with other mods
- Ore Generation in The Nether (toggle in the config)
- Pillar Variants
- Chiseled Variants
- Paints functioning as dyes (toggle in the config)
For use in Modpacks:
Feel free to use this mod in a modpack, but, while it is not required, I'd appreciate if you let me know in this page's comments or via a DM. Have fun!
Does this include textures from the Chisel mod or no?
In reply to dragonofsapphire:
Maybe in a future update, but not currently, sorry.
Can you apply paint to surfaces ? And if so, how ?
In reply to zygus42:
The short answer is no. But just to clarify, do you mean applying paint to any block, or being able to paint specific surfaces of the blocks already included?
In reply to Mattsworld4:
I mean that I have an item called paint and cannot figure our how to use it. Tried all the obvious things (I think).
In reply to zygus42:
You use paint in a crafting table with quartz blocks, chiseled quartz, pillar quartz or, assuming you're using 2.1, 4 quartz gems. paint can be used to craft any of these recipes 64 times before needing to be re-crafted.
This mod looks cool, but I have a question: does this support texturepacks? I mean, if something change only original quartz's texture, would the textures of colored quartz change?
In reply to atarax239:
Hi, sorry it took so long to get back to you, I've only been checking the minecraft.curseforge page. To answer your question, no a resource pack wouldn't change these textures if only changing the vanilla texture. Thanks for your interest, though!
In reply to Mattsworld4:
Maybe you should make it so that the coloured quartz blocks take their textures from the vanilla quartz block and overlay a colour onto them so that they would be compatible with resource packs? That’d be great!
In reply to Dimentive:
If such a thing is possible, I would add it in 4.0. (3.0 will be slabs & stairs, but I'm not too actively developing that right now). But I do agree that it would be a significant upgrade which I'll keep in mind.
In reply to Mattsworld4:
It should be possible. I’ve seen other mods do it.
Slabs and stairs don’t really matter much considering there are mods like Blockcraftery and ArchitectureCraft which can turn any block into a slab, stair, or pretty much any other shape. I’d much rather have resource pack support, but I don’t mind if you still implement stairs and slabs first, as not everybody uses one of the mods I mentioned anyway.
Good idea but wondering if it has any advantages over FCB or vanilla concrete?
In reply to viceroy369:
It really depends on what you want to use it for. For arty builds concrete would probably be better, but the subtle texture on the quartz gives it a more modern feel which fits well in interiors in my opinion. The latest version of the mod has OreDictionary support so it integrates nicely with other mods if you're thinking about using it in a pack.
is it textured or flat? any images?
you should look into flat coloured blocks if you need even more colours!
