Palettinator Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I start using Palettinator?

Type `/palette generate` in chat with a color name or while holding a block to create your first palette—it'll load directly into your hotbar. If you want to see all available commands, try `/palette` alone to view the help menu.

What's the difference between /palette analyze and /palette generate?

`/palette analyze` checks the blocks already in your hotbar or a saved palette and tells you if they work well together, while `/palette generate` creates a brand new matched set of blocks based on a color you specify or a block you're holding.

Can I use this mod on a server without everyone installing it?

Yes—the mod works on servers and players without it installed can still use chat commands like `/palette get` and `/palette analyze`, though they won't see the visual browser or in-game menu.

How do I preview a palette before committing to it?

Use `/palette build` to spawn a temporary preview wall of the palette in front of you, which won't damage your actual build; remove it anytime with `/palette clear`.

What happens if I load a palette and don't like it?

Type `/palette undo` to restore your hotbar to whatever you had before loading the palette.

How do I scan an existing building to turn it into a palette?

Use `/palette capture` to get a scanner tool, then click two opposite corners of the structure you want to scan—the mod will read all the blocks and save them as a palette.

Can I share palettes with other players?

Yes—use `/palette share ` to send a palette ID directly to another player, or `/palette book` to write the palette into a holdable in-game book that you can drop or trade.

How do I find community palettes?

Use `/palette discover` to see featured and trending palettes, or `/palette browse` to sort by popularity or date; you can also search by name with `/palette search `.

Does Palettinator work with custom blocks or modded blocks?

The mod analyzes color and texture properties of blocks in your game, so it works with modded blocks as long as they're loaded in your world, though community palettes may focus mainly on vanilla blocks.

What should I do if a palette doesn't look right in my build?

Use `/palette analyze` on the blocks you've placed to get suggestions for better matches, or try `/palette gradient` to create a smoother transition if the colors feel too jarring.
