Palettinator

Minecraft 版本： 26.1.2 26.2

平台： fabric

标签： decoration social utility

Find, generate, analyse, and share Minecraft block palettes — without leaving the game.

Palettinator brings palettinator.com — the free, ad-free block & colour palette generator — straight into Minecraft, as both chat commands and a full in-game GUI.

Stuck on which blocks go together? Generate a palette, ask the mod what's wrong with it, preview it in the world, and build. Made something great? Publish it to the site in one command.

⚠️ Alpha: early access and under active development. Most things work; a few are still missing (e.g. the very newest 26.2 blocks). Feedback welcome!

✨ Features

? Generate & explore

• Generate palettes — /palette generate makes a fresh, colour-coordinated palette and loads it into your hotbar. Seed it from a colour (/palette generate blue) or from the block in your hand (/palette generate hand).
• Gradients — /palette gradient white_concrete blue_concrete builds a smooth colour ramp between two blocks. No args = a gradient between your main hand and off-hand.
• Scan an existing build — /palette capture gives you the Palette Scanner: select two corners of any structure and its most-used blocks load straight into your hotbar as a palette.
• In-world preview — /palette build <#> places a palette as a temporary strip in front of you so you can see the blocks together; it auto-clears (or /palette clear).

? Community

• Search — /palette search cozy finds palettes by name, tag, creator, or number, with a colour preview right in chat — hover any square to see the block, click a line to load it.
• Load into your hotbar — /palette get 73286 drops a palette's blocks into your hotbar. (Survival gives one of each; creative gives full stacks. Big palettes come as a bundle.)
• Publish & update — arrange blocks in your hotbar, then /palette publish "Cozy Cabin" medieval,oak A snug little build. It goes live on your palettinator.com profile with a clickable link. /palette update 42 refreshes an existing one.
• Browse, like & roll — /palette browse top, /palette mine, /palette like 42, /palette roll for instant inspiration.

? Analyse your palette

/palette analyze reads the blocks in your hotbar the way an experienced builder would, and tells you what's actually wrong with them.

• It understands texture, not just colour. It knows stone bricks are patterned, cobblestone is rough and concrete is featureless — so it can tell deliberate texture work apart from two blocks that genuinely repeat the same tone.
• It checks what builders check: light-to-dark range, missing darks and highlights, holes in the value ramp, hue harmony, saturation balance, palette size, and whether a loud accent has anything quiet to sit against.
• Every problem comes with a fix. Suggestions are real building blocks, ranked so common ones win — click one to load it straight into your hotbar.
• See it, not just read it. With the mod installed client-side, the command opens a colour chart with your blocks plotted on it: hue across, stronger colour towards the top, greys along the bottom. Blocks clustered together are a harmony, blocks strung across the width are the "hues pull in different directions" warning, and blocks half a width apart are complements. Hover any one for its surface, lightness, hue and role.
• Works on saved palettes too: /palette analyze 42.
• Vanilla clients get everything except the chart — all the findings arrive in chat, with the same clickable fixes.

?️ Built-in GUI (install client-side)

Press P in-game to open the Palettinator browser — a native UI that mirrors the website:

• Browse — searchable grid of palette cards with real block textures, author, and a clickable ❤ like button.
• Build — six slots you can fill by clicking (block picker with live search) or with Generate (watch the slots spin like a slot machine and land on a fresh palette). Then Load to hotbar, Build preview, or Analyse.
• Analysis view — the colour chart with your blocks plotted on it and every finding listed beside it. Opens from the Analyse button or straight from /palette analyze.
• Palettes — your own creations. Likes — everything you've hearted.
• Click any palette for a detail view with a big block grid, load/preview, like, and "Open on site".

The keybind is rebindable under Options → Controls → Palettinator.

? Works on vanilla clients — no install required for players

Install it on your server and every player can use the commands, even on a completely vanilla client — it's all chat commands, clickable links, and colour swatches. No resource pack required. Installing it client-side additionally unlocks the GUI above. (Singleplayer: just install it normally.)

? Publishing to your account

Publishing/updating is tied to your Palettinator account. Run /palette link, click the link in chat, sign in, and approve — that's it. You can revoke access anytime in your account settings. Browsing, generating, analysing, previewing, and loading palettes need no account at all.

?️ For server admins — permissions & config - **Permissions (LuckPerms):** every command has a node — `palettinator.command.analyze`, `palettinator.command.build`, `palettinator.command.publish`, `palettinator.command.generate`, etc. — so you can grant/deny per group. Without a permissions mod it falls back to sensible defaults (in-world build defaults to operators when `buildRequiresOp` is set). - **Config** (`config/palettinator.json`): toggle commands on/off, require op for in-world building, set per-action cooldowns, and tune the preview's lifetime and block cap. - **Language** (`config/palettinator-lang.json`): reword or translate every chat string the mod sends. - **Survival-friendly:** loading a palette gives **one block each** in survival (no free stacks), full stacks in creative.

? Requirements

• Minecraft 26.1.2 or 26.2 (Fabric)
• Fabric Loader 0.19.0+
• Fabric API
• Java 25+ (required by Minecraft 26.x)

? Install

Server: drop the Palettinator jar and Fabric API into your server's mods/ folder and restart. Players need nothing (the GUI is optional, client-side).

Singleplayer / client: put both into your client mods/ folder, then press P in-game.
