RGBBlocks

RGBBlocks is a structured RGB building palette mod for Minecraft NeoForge.

The mod adds over 16,600 carefully generated building colors with a focus on smooth gradients, pastel tones, neutral materials, and architectural usability.

Each color includes three block variants:

* Normal
* Glow
* Glass

Unlike dynamic runtime color systems, RGBBlocks uses static full blocks for improved compatibility, stability, shader behavior, and mod interaction.

Features

Over 16,600 structured building colors
* Pastel and neutral optimized palette generation
* Smooth gradient-focused color organization
* Normal, Glow, and Glass variants
* Lightweight static block architecture
* Designed for high compatibility
* Chisels & Bits friendly
* NeoForge support

New Features (1.2.1~1.2.3)

Glow blocks now emit subtle colored lighting based on their RGB block color
Colored light can softly illuminate nearby surfaces and environments
Chisels & Bits glow bits now participate in RGB lighting
Improved RGB lighting behavior with Sodium, Iris, shaders, and Chisels & Bits
Improved colored light blending for a more natural appearance

Compatibility

RGBBlocks is designed around standard full-block behavior to maximize compatibility with shaders, building tools, and other mods.

The mod has been tested in both singleplayer and multiplayer environments.

Recommended Usage

RGBBlocks works especially well for:

* Architectural builds
* Gradient detailing
* Modern and pastel builds
* Chisels & Bits creations
* Pixel art
* Builds requiring precise color expression

Tested Environment

RGBBlocks has been tested with the following environment:

* Minecraft NeoForge 26.1.2.41-beta
* Chisels & Bits neoforge-26.1.2.33(updated)
* Iris NeoForge 1.10.9
* Sodium NeoForge 0.8.11
* Complementary Shaders
* Singleplayer and Multiplayer environments

The mod is designed around standard static full-block behavior for broad compatibility with shaders, building tools, and other mods.

Design Philosophy

RGBBlocks focuses on stability, simplicity, and large-scale color availability rather than dynamic runtime color systems.

The mod intentionally avoids complex runtime rendering or block entity systems in favor of predictable static blocks and broad compatibility with the Minecraft modding ecosystem.

Built for Minecraft NeoForge.

Known Issue (WIP) — 1.2.3

When using Chisels & Bits with RGB glow blocks, lighting may sometimes appear inconsistently:

- light may not appear immediately

- light may suddenly intensify after additional edits

- some RGB lighting transitions may appear unnatural

Additional stabilization work is currently in progress.
