Colorize Mod FAQ

Hold any dye in your hand and right-click the block you want to change. The block instantly takes on the dye's color without needing a crafting table.

No, a normal right-click works for most blocks. Sneaking is only useful when you want to avoid accidentally interacting with a block that has its own right-click function, like a bed or shulker box.

Any vanilla block that already has color variants works, including wool, carpets, concrete, concrete powder, terracotta, glazed terracotta, stained glass, glass panes, candles, banners, beds, and shulker boxes.

Yes, just right-click it with the dye matching the color you want. There is no separate undo, so simply apply the correct dye to change it again.

Yes, each right-click consumes one dye item from your stack, the same as if you had used it in a crafting recipe.

The block probably doesn't have a color variant in vanilla, or you're in creative mode where some interactions behave differently. Make sure you're holding dye and targeting a recolorable block, not air or an unsupported block.

Yes, that's one of the mod's main conveniences. Right-click the placed bed or shulker box with dye and it changes color in place, keeping its contents and position.

You still right-click each block individually, but you can hold a full stack of dye and move along a wall or floor without opening any menus. For very large areas, work in rows so you don't miss blocks.

It only affects blocks that have vanilla color variants, so blocks added by other mods generally won't respond to dye unless that mod specifically supports it. Test on a single block before recoloring a whole build.

No, each recolor is a single block update, similar to placing a block, so it has negligible impact on performance even across large builds.
