Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Wouldn't it be great to have more freedom with color choice in a build? Well 256 colored blocks is a lot of freedom. My primary objective with the mod was to have more color options for Chisel and Bits enthusiasts. Its a very simple mod. There might be a couple colors I might have forgotten so do let me know if you can figure out which ones. If this interests enough people like it does me I might increase the number of colors by quite a lot in the coming iterations.

I recommend using the mod alongside Chisel & Bits - Fabric.
I also recommend the use of REI (Roughly Enough Items).

The blocks are crafted with Black Concrete in a Stonecutter.
