Colorway

Colorway

Any color you want. Colorway recolors Minecraft’s gear, blocks, HUD, menus, particles, moon and sky to colors you choose, in game, from one screen, with no packs to download and no files to edit.

Pick a color, and Colorway builds a resource pack around it on the spot.

How it works

Press N to open the menu. Every part of the game is split into groups you set independently:

• Items: weapons and tools, armour, bows and arrows, throwables and shields
• World: PvP blocks, particles, the moon, the sky
• Interface: hearts, absorption hearts, bars and armour icons, hotbar and crosshair, menus and containers, buttons and widgets

Set a group to any color, or turn it off to leave that part vanilla. The pack rebuilds in the background in about two seconds, then reloads itself.

Colors

Eleven built in colors: red, orange, yellow, lime, green, light blue, blue, purple, indigo, violet, pink.

Not enough? Add your own hex code. Type #B4FAEF and it joins the list with a live swatch preview, usable anywhere a built in color is. Every shade, highlight and outline is derived from that one value, so added colors look as finished as the built in ones.

The sky

Colorway paints its own sky in your colors rather than shipping a fixed image:

• Storm: banded storm clouds lit from within
• Aurora: curtains that shift across the night
• Storm and aurora: both at once
• Time: leave it changing with the day, or lock it to permanent day or night

You pick the sky colors in order. The first lights the clouds, the second picks out the edges, and the aurora uses them all. Skies are painted once and cached, so they cost nothing after the first build.

Block outline

Recolor the block outline and set its width, applied instantly with no reload.

Requirements

Colorway is client side only. It changes nothing on the server, so it works on any server you play on, vanilla or modded.

Nuit is required. Colorway generates the sky textures and Nuit renders them over the vanilla sky, with the day and night keyframes that make the storm and aurora appear at the right time. Without it the mod will not load.

Runs on Minecraft 1.21.11 with Java 21.

Note on the sky: if you would rather keep the vanilla sky, set the Sky group to off. Nuit is still required for the mod to load, but nothing is drawn.

Notes

• The generated pack is written to your resource packs folder and enabled automatically. It is a normal pack, so you can look at it, and you can turn it off in the vanilla pack screen.
• Painted skies are cached in your config folder, keyed by the colors you chose, so switching back to a scheme you used before is instant.
• Your settings are saved in colorway.json in the same place.
