Stipple

Stipple repaints Minecraft in divisionist pointillism — thousands of small colour dots that the eye blends only from a distance, laid over a world that already shows how it’s built. The pale flecks between the dots are bare canvas showing through — the white ground the divisionists left visible to make colour glow.

• v1 20 blocks — dirt, podzol, clay, stone, deepslate, sand, red sand, gravel, packed ice, obsidian, netherrack, end stone, glowstone, snow, plus six grassy biomes (temperate, cold, dry, jungle, swamp, pale garden).
• v2 The Living World — fully repainted canopies (leaves and logs) for Oak, Dark Oak, Birch, Spruce, Jungle, Acacia, and Cherry. Undergrowth and flora like wild grass, ferns, mushrooms, firefly bushes, nether fungi, and vines. Brickwork and masonry including Cobblestone, Mossy Cobblestone, and all Stone Brick variants.
• v3 Flowers & Harvest — full pointillist treatment for all wild garden flowers (Dandelion, Poppy, Orchids, Alliums, Tulips, Cornflowers, Lilies, Sunflowers, Lilacs, Pink Petals, and more), cultivated crops (Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes, Beetroots, Sweet Berries), aquatic and ground flora (Sugar Cane, Bamboo, Lily Pads, Seagrass, Kelp, Sea Pickles, Leaf Litter), plus additional block variants (Ice, Crying Obsidian).
• v4 Arid Lands — complete pointillist palette for all 17 Terracotta color varieties, full Sandstone and Red Sandstone masonry (regular, cut, chiseled, and smooth), Cacti, Dead Bushes, Dry Grass, Coarse Dirt, plus Pumpkins, Carved Pumpkins, Jack o’ Lanterns, and Melons.
• v5 Gloom & Nether — complete expansion for Nether ecosystems (Crimson & Warped Nylium, Nether Wart) and the eerie Pale Garden biome (Pale Oak logs and canopies, Pale Moss, Pale Hanging Moss, and Eyeblossoms).
• v6 Caves & Mining — the final complete edition adding all Overworld and Nether ores (Coal, Iron, Copper, Gold, Redstone, Lapis, Diamond, Emerald, Nether Quartz), Raw Metal Blocks, and Amethyst Geodes.
• Connected & randomized — each block draws from 16 to 32 edge-matched variants, so large surfaces read as organic fields, not repeated wallpaper. Seamless biome and snow transitions.
• Pairs with the Stipple Focus mod for gentle cinematic depth of field.

The idea behind Stipple

Minecraft shows you how space is built — every block is a visible decision. Pointillism does the same for color: dots that only mix in your eye, and only at a distance. Stipple layers one on the other. Up close the world dissolves into brushwork; walk away and it quietly becomes landscape again. If you enjoy the thinking behind this, there’s an open-access paper on
