Better Color Codes

This pack uses vanilla core shaders to tweak the vanilla color codes, which were based on the original 16 colors available with the 1980s Color Graphics Adapter.

* colors are slightly different in the current version of this pack

The primary goal of this pack is to make the game’s text colors a bit more appealing by reducing the contrast between different colors and having them fit the rainbow spectrum more properly.

The secondary goal of this pack is to serve as a template for other resource pack creators to easily tweak the game’s text colors as they see fit. The color codes can be configured by editing the values defined in the rendertype_text.fsh shader file.

If you choose to include this pack’s shader files in your own resource pack, credit would be appreciated. I am not the first person to figure out how to change the game’s text colors using shaders, but I have managed to greatly simplify the amount of code required to do so.

This pack should work in most versions of the game, and in combination with most resource packs. The performance impact of the pack’s shaders is negligible.
