Using Color Systems in Custom Menus and Overlays

Color Handling in Modded Interfaces

CodeChickenLib supplies standardized color systems that mods use to create consistent, visually appealing menus, HUDs, and item overlays. This library ensures colors display correctly across different graphics settings and resolutions.

What This Means For You

Mods built on CodeChickenLib can apply custom colors to:

• Inventory overlays and tooltips
• Status bars and progress indicators
• Custom GUI elements and buttons
• Item highlight effects and glow overlays

The color system works automatically—you interact with colored elements normally, and the library ensures they render properly on your screen.

Customization

Some mods that use CodeChickenLib allow color customization through configuration files. If a mod's menu or overlay colors seem off or clash with your resource pack, check the mod's config folder for color settings you can adjust. The library provides the foundation; individual mods decide how to use it.
