About this Mod

That mod allows resourcepack creators to change the color of a hard coded minecraft value into any color they want. This allows them to work with other resourcepack without using core shaders.

Some examples are:

  • XP text color
  • Reloading textures background
  • Item cooldowns
  • Container text
  • Experience orb colors
  • Block outline
  • Durability bar colors

As far as versions go, supporting all versions 1.21+ is a pain since Mojang changed rendering code every single update. I will probably iron out some bugs in those versions then drop support for adding new features to them. I will try to support at least the last 3 drops. Versions below 1.21 are not planned and neither is a forge/neoforge version.

Changing Colors with a Resource Pack

In order to change the color of something, you find the corresponding entry and replace it with the value you want. You should only put the values you modify in your pack so packs below it can modify other ones without them interfering.

If there is something that you want to be added, create a feature request in the Github.

Data type

Accepts an array of ints [r, g, b] or [r, g, b, a] or a hex string "#rrggbb" or "#aarrggbb"

Frequently Asked Questions

Recolor server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Recolor compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

Recolor officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Recolor – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Recolor consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
