Color Providers

Color Providers are a JSON object that can be used throughout the resource driven side of the mod to define colors.

Minecraft Wiki color calculator

• type The type of the color provider. One of none, constant, biome_color, list, or preset

If type is constant additional fields are as follows

• color: Can be either an integer of a color in decimal, a string containing a color in hexadecimal, or a list of three float values from 0 to 1

If type is biome_color additional fields are as follows

• color_type: A string value of either water_color, water_fog_color, sky_color, fog_color, foliage_color, grass_color. For Minecraft versions 1.21.11 and above the following values can also be used dry_foliage_color, sunrise_sunset_color, cloud_color, sky_light_color

If type is list additional fields are as follows

• providers: A list of color providers. The returned provider will be randomized

If type is preset additional fields are as follows

• preset: A string value of either sparks, soul_sparks, blaze_sparks, copper_sparks, spawner_sparks, lava_droplet, lava_ripple

When using a constant type color provider the type element and surrounding object may be omitted in favor of simply supplying the value that would be passed to the color element. For example the following code snippet:

{
  "color_provider": {
    "type": "subtle_effects:constant",
    "color": "#FF0000"
  }
}

can be shorted/inlined to simply:

{
  "color_provider": "#FF0000"
}

This works with all data types (integer decimal, string hexadecimal, or float array) of the constant color provider type, allowing for a less bulky implementation of color

Example of the wierd things that can be done with list type color providers

{
  "type": "subtle_effects:list",
  "providers": [
    "0xFF0000",
    "#FF00FF",
    [0, 1, 0],
    {
      "type": "subtle_effects:preset",
      "preset": "soul_sparks"
    },
    {
      "type": "subtle_effects:list",
      "providers": [
        [0.5, 0.5, 0.5],
        [0.3, 0.3, 0.3]
      ]
    }
  ]
}
