10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do color-adaptive blocks work?
Color-adaptive blocks like 
colored cobblestone and stone change their appearance based on the block they're placed on—the same item will look different on grass versus snow versus dirt. The blocks remain identical in your inventory; the color only updates visually once placed in the world.

All color variants of a block type use the same item—you only need one stack of colored cobblestone in your inventory, and it will display the appropriate color depending on what's underneath it.

Road blocks include straight sections, turns, curves, and aligned borders designed to connect seamlessly; place them adjacent to each other and they will align automatically to create continuous roads and intersections.
What are road signs used for?
Road signs let you mark different purposes on your roads—such as differentiating between car lanes, walking paths, or tracks—and can also indicate turns and bends to guide players through your urban builds.
Can I use color-adaptive blocks on non-vanilla blocks?
Color-adaptive blocks primarily respond to vanilla Minecraft blocks; their appearance may vary or not change when placed on modded blocks depending on how those blocks are defined.
How do I blend roads with natural terrain?
Use color-adaptive blocks around your roads to match the surrounding terrain, and place road blocks to transition smoothly between built structures and natural landscape—the color-matching mechanic helps roads look less out of place.
Are there different types of road signs or just one?
There are multiple road sign variants for different purposes, including directional signs for turns and bends, and functional signs to mark road types and usage.
Do color-adaptive blocks work with stairs, slabs, or walls?
The mod includes color variants of several vanilla blocks; check which specific block types have color-adaptive versions, as not all vanilla variants may be included.
Will this mod cause lag with lots of color-adaptive blocks?
Color-adaptive blocks use a dynamic coloring system that should have minimal performance impact, though building extremely large structures with thousands of blocks may affect performance depending on your system.
Can I use this mod with other building mods?
This mod is designed to complement vanilla building and should work alongside most other mods; however, color-adaptive blocks will only respond to blocks they're designed to interact with.
