Gelatin
A Library Mod attempting to replace Minecraft's Hard Coded DyeColor Enum
About this Mod
Gelatin
Gelatin's is Color-Focused Library Mod useful for Mod creators who want to add new DyeColors to Minecraft without needing to do it themself. The Main Goal of Gelatin is to implement the DyeColorant Registry all around Minecraft allowing for any amount of Colors to be added by other mods without going thru hell to do it and possibly conflicting with other mods.
Minecraft isn't designed for new Colors and can cause some issues:
- If you attempt to extend the DyeColor Enum, not only Load Order can mess with Color Order but there is no syncing of the Colors with the server and client leading to desyncs.
- Adding new Colors requires needed to make new Colors of Minecraft various colorful variants like concert, wool, beds, etc.
- This also requires implementing proper recipes to handle all of this within various blocks and items leading to a massive amount of maintenance cost on each person attempting this.
