COLORS - Custom Rarities

C. O. L. O. R. S.

"Custom Overlays for Loot Objects, Rarities & Styling"

A custom rarity framework for Baldur's Gate 3 that gives modders 13 brand new item rarities to work with.

Built on the foundation of Caites' excellent Better Tooltips and Better Inventory UI (and includes all of their features), COLORS adds new visual rarity tiers complete with custom title colors, font styling, tooltip gradients, rarity labels, and inventory frame artwork.

CURRENT STATUS

On launch, COLORS currently only supports the original Artifact items that Caites registered as well as the Cursed items from GraphicFade's Dynamic Encounters mod.

🎯 What This Mod Does

COLORS is a framework mod, not a content mod. It doesn't add items to the game itself. Instead, it provides a system that other modders can plug into to give their custom items new rarity tiers that aren't available in the base game.

If you're a player: install COLORS to make any modded item that supports it display with its proper custom rarity styling.

If you're a modder: use COLORS as a dependency and assign one of the pre-registered slot contentuids to your item's DisplayName to give it any of the 13 new rarities.

Choose any unclaimed contentuid from the rarity you want, e.g.:

h0c0001a4gf004ge127g0421gcb9504bb7a92

2. Set Your Item's DisplayName Handle

In your item's root template:

<attribute id="DisplayName" type="TranslatedString"    handle="h0c0001a4gf004ge127g0421gcb9504bb7a92" version="1" />

3. Define the Display Text in Your Loca

In your mod's English XML:

<content contentuid="h0c0001a4gf004ge127g0421gcb9504bb7a92" version="1">Sword of Legends</content>

4. Add COLORS as a Dependency for your mod.

That's it. Your item now displays with the custom rarity styling whenever a player has COLORS installed. Without it, the item gracefully falls back to its base game rarity.
