RGB Blocks
Minecraft gives you a decent selection of colors, but sometimes 16 dye colors just aren't enough.
RGB Blocks expands Minecraft's building options by allowing blocks to be colored in 16,777,216 different colors.
Using the RGB Paint Bucket, you can select practically any color you want and apply it directly to supported RGB blocks.
Want a very specific shade of purple? A dark red? A precise color from a hex code? You can make it.
RGB Paint Bucket
The Paint Bucket is the main tool used to customize RGB Blocks.
It includes a GUI where you can select colors using:
- RGB values — Red, Green, and Blue
- HSB values — Hue, Saturation, and Brightness
- Hex color codes
This makes it easy to either visually create a color or enter an exact value.
Opening the Paint Bucket
Sneak + Right-Click while holding the Paint Bucket and not looking at a block to open its color configuration menu.
You can then adjust the color using the RGB or HSB controls.
Copying Colors
Sneak + Right-Click an existing RGB Block with the Paint Bucket to copy that block's color into the bucket.
This makes matching colors across builds much easier.
Painting Blocks
Simply Right-Click an RGB Block using the Paint Bucket to apply the currently selected color.
RGB Blocks also retain their selected color when broken, allowing colored blocks to be moved and reused without losing their appearance.
Paintable Blocks
RGB Blocks includes a variety of customizable building blocks and variants, including things such as:
- Concrete
- Concrete Powder
- Wool
- Wooden Planks
- Terracotta
- Glass
- Glass Panes
- Prismarine
- Stairs
- Slabs
- Redstone Lamps
- Glowstone
- Antiblocks
- And more
Instead of being restricted to Minecraft's normal palette, these blocks can be customized to fit almost any build or color scheme.
Creating the Paint Bucket
The RGB Paint Bucket is created using:
- Red Dye
- Green Dye
- Blue Dye
- Water Bucket
The recipe is shapeless.
The Paint Bucket has a limited amount of paint available before it needs to be refilled. Using it to create or recolor RGB Blocks consumes some of the stored paint rather than destroying the bucket itself.
Color Information
RGB items display their color information in their tooltip.
You can view information such as:
- Hex color
- Red value
- Green value
- Blue value
- Hue
- Saturation
- Brightness
This is especially useful when trying to reproduce exact colors across a build.
