How to Plan a Build Using Alabaster Color Families
Pick a Color, Then a Texture
Alabaster comes in many colors, and each color has the same internal structure. Take Blue Alabaster: you can produce Blue Alabaster Cobble, Blue Alabaster Bricks, Blue Alabaster Tiles, Blue Small Alabaster Bricks, and Blue Small Alabaster Tiles. Each of those has Slab, Stairs, and Wall variants. Brown Alabaster and Black Alabaster follow the identical pattern.
This means a single color can supply an entire build. You do not need to mix colors unless you want contrast.
Building a Cohesive Palette
Start with the raw color block, for example Blue Alabaster. Cut it into Blue Alabaster Cobble for rough base work, Blue Alabaster Bricks for main walls, and Blue Alabaster Tiles for floors or smooth panels. If you want finer detail, cut Blue Small Alabaster Bricks and Blue Small Alabaster Tiles from their larger counterparts.
Then cut the variants you need: Blue Alabaster Brick Slab, Blue Alabaster Brick Stairs, Blue Alabaster Brick Wall, and so on for each texture you are using.
For a two-tone build, choose two colors and assign each a role. Use one color for structural blocks (Cobble and Bricks) and the other for accents (Tiles and Small Bricks). Because every color has the full texture range, both halves of the build will have matching slabs, stairs, and walls available.
