About this Mod
Architect's Palette adds many new blocks. They are awesome and look super cool. The recipes are generally balanced to be survival friendly, with high yields and common ingredients. There's a config and Quark support. The mod is good I swear.
Off the top of my head, there are blocks like...
- Fish blocks with scales
- Industrial metal plating
- Bricks made of bones, and a dark set made of withered bones
- Glowing crystals growing in the Nether
- Stone bricks made with ores, which the artists want to get rid of, but the community is oddly attached to so they're in a strange purgatory where we can't really get rid of them but really don't want to support them which is why there isn't a copper variant (please don't ask for a copper variant)
- Brick variants of some blocks that don't have brick variants (like basalt)
- Charcoal blocks made by smoking logs (in a smoker), much to the distaste of everyone who has ever seen the recipe.
- Original materials like Sunmetal, Olivestone, Cerebral Plating, and Abyssaline
- "Mossy" (Nether vine-y) Blackstone variants that were also implemented in Quark (we did ours first)
- A new crafting mechanic to facilitate some weirder materials such as Esoterrack and Twisted trees (it shows up in JEI and is datapack friendly)
- Incredible Board blocks that are just big planks
- Nubs, a new block shape used for shape detail in builds
- Incredible Heavy Bricks that are just big bricks
- Cute Acacia totems
