Contraption Colors
Stop guessing which contraption is which.

Contraption Colors is a lightweight resource pack that lets you visually organize your Create portable contraptions by assigning them colored icons.
Simply rename a contraption using one of the supported prefixes, and its item icon will automatically change to the matching color.

Perfect for players who have multiple tunnel bores, quarries, drills, cranes, or other portable contraptions stored together.

Usage
Rename your contraption using one of the supported prefixes:

The prefix determines the icon color, while the rest of the name is completely up to you.
Requirements

Why?
After building larger Create factories, it's common to end up with dozens of portable contraptions that all share the same icon. Contraption Colors makes them much easier to recognize at a glance without changing how Create works.
