Stuck on which blocks go together? Generate a palette, ask the mod what's wrong with it, preview it in the world, and build. Made something great? Publish it to the site in one command. > ⚠️ **Alpha:** early access and under active development. Most things work; a few are still missing (e.g. the very newest 26.2 blocks). Feedback welcome! ## ✨ Features ### 🎨 Generate & explore - **Generate palettes** — `/palette generate` makes a fresh, colour-coordinated palette and loads it into your hotbar. Seed it from a colour (`/palette generate blue`) or **from the block in your hand** (`/palette generate hand`). - **Gradients** — `/palette gradient white_concrete blue_concrete` builds a smooth colour ramp between two blocks. No args = a gradient between your main hand and off-hand. - **Scan an existing build** — `/palette capture` gives you the **Palette Scanner**: select two corners of any structure and its most-used blocks load straight into your hotbar as a palette. Straight to the site with `/palette capture publish "My Build"`. - **In-world preview** — `/palette build <#>` places a palette in front of you so you can see the blocks together, as a strip or a **3-high wall** (`/palette build 42 wall`). It auto-clears (or `/palette clear`), **only ever fills empty space**, and never touches your build. ### 🌍 Community - **Search & discover** — `/palette search cozy` finds palettes by name, tag, creator, or number. `/palette discover trending` pulls the site's featured, trending and most-loved shelves. Both show a **palette preview right in chat** — hover a block to name it, **click one to copy its hex**, click the line to load it. - **Look before you load** — `/palette info 42` shows a palette's blocks and likes without touching your hotbar. - **Load into your hotbar** — `/palette get 73286` drops a palette's blocks into your hotbar. Survival gives one of each, creative gives full stacks, and palettes over nine blocks arrive in a **shulker box** so you still get a stack of each. Anything already in your hotbar is **moved into your inventory, never deleted** — and `/palette undo` puts it all back. - **Publish & update** — arrange blocks in your hotbar, then `/palette publish "Cozy Cabin" medieval,oak A snug little build`. It goes live on your palettinator.com profile with a clickable link. `/palette update 42` refreshes an existing one. - **Share it** — `/palette share Steve 42` sends a palette straight to another player on your server, and `/palette book 42` writes one into a book you can carry and hand out. - **Browse, like & roll** — `/palette browse top`, `/palette mine`, `/palette liked`, `/palette like 42`, `/palette stats`, `/palette roll` for instant inspiration. ### 🔬 Analyse your palette `/palette analyze` reads the blocks in your hotbar the way an experienced builder would, and tells you what's actually wrong with them. - **It understands texture, not just colour.** It knows stone bricks are patterned, cobblestone is rough and concrete is featureless — so it can tell *deliberate* texture work apart from two blocks that genuinely repeat the same tone. - **It checks what builders check:** light-to-dark range, missing darks and highlights, holes in the value ramp, hue harmony, saturation balance, palette size, and whether a loud accent has anything quiet to sit against. - **Every problem comes with a fix.** Suggestions are real building blocks, ranked so common ones win — **click one to load it straight into your hotbar**. - **See it, not just read it.** With the mod installed client-side, the command opens a colour chart with your blocks plotted on it: hue across, stronger colour towards the top, greys along the bottom. Blocks clustered together are a harmony, blocks strung across the width are the "hues pull in different directions" warning, and blocks half a width apart are complements. Hover any one for its surface, lightness, hue and role. - Works on saved palettes too: `/palette analyze 42`. - **Vanilla clients get everything except the chart** — all the findings arrive in chat, with the same clickable fixes. ## 🖥️ Install client-side for the full thing Everything works without it — but the client half adds a lot: - **Real block textures in chat.** Search results, analysis and every other palette row draw the actual block faces instead of coloured squares. - **The palette browser.** Press **P** to open a native UI that mirrors the website: - **Browse** — searchable grid of palette cards with real block textures,
