About this Mod
I haven't updated this mod in ages, so the last version is for 1.12.2. Not sure when I'll get around to updating it to a more modern version. Even so, I am uploading it here for the sake of archival, since people are jumping ship from a certain other site.
Have you ever been building pixel art and just wish you could get the exact color you need? Or maybe you just want a carpet in deep blue. Whatever you fancy, it can be done with HexWool! This mod allows you to color several blocks any color by inputting a hexadecimal color code (or using the color picker) into the Wool Colorizer, which is crafted like so (wool can be any color):

The Wool Colorizer requires cyan, magenta, yellow and black dyes, not unlike a printer. The amounts can be adjusted or dye requirements disabled in the config.

The following blocks/items are supported by default:
- Wool
- Carpet
- Terracotta
- Concrete
- Glass
- Glass Pane
- Leather Armor
Colored blocks should be fully compatible with resource packs as I directly reference the vanilla textures.
Modders can add support for coloring their blocks/items by implementing the IColorizable interface on the Block or Item class.
Yes, you have permission to use this in any mod pack. Credit is appreciated but not required.

Server lagging with HexWool – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if HexWool consumes the most tick time.
