If you wish to port the mod to these modloaders feel free to, I just request that you credit me in said port however this is not a requirement.
Additional Information
The idea for PaintedPlanks started about a year ago when I was playing on my survival world. I wanted to make a structure out of wood however none of the in game planks matched the colour palette so I went on curseforge in search of a mod that added coloured planks to the game, however there were no such mods. This led me to attempt to create my own mod to do just that. The mod began development in forge and later moved over to fabric. However a lack of programming knowledge combined with a lack of interest in the game led me to abandon the project. In recent times I have gotten back into minecraft and after a conversation with my friend about Mojang's lack of interesting features (for us personally) in recent updates I decided to add some of the features I want in the game, leading to me picking up development on this mod, completely rewriting it from the ground up in forge, my preferred mod loader.
