Prismatic Masonry Construction Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I unlock the mod recipes?
Pick up a regular brick block in survival mode—this instantly unlocks all Prismatic Masonry recipes in your recipe book. You don't need to craft anything first; obtaining the brick block is the trigger.
What's the difference between dyed bricks and vivid bricks?
Dyed bricks use one dye with a brick block and match the standard terracotta color palette. Vivid bricks use two of the same dye with a brick block and produce deeper, richer tones like blacker, bluer, and grayer variants.
Do azulejo tiles rotate when I place them?
No, azulejo tiles are non-directional and will not rotate based on which direction you're facing when you place them. This makes it easier to create consistent patterns without worrying about orientation.
How do I make azulejo tiles?
First craft an azulejo pattern item using dyes in your crafting grid. Then combine that pattern item with a brick block to create the decorative azulejo tile block.
Can I use azulejo tiles on both floors and walls?
Yes, azulejo tiles work on any surface. The mod includes patterns designed for flooring like Blue Petal, Yellow Petal, and Cross tiles, but all patterns can be placed anywhere you want.
Do I need specific dyes for specific azulejo patterns?
Yes, each azulejo pattern requires particular dyes to craft. Check the recipe book or a crafting guide to see which dyes are needed for the pattern you want to make.
Can I mix dyed and vivid bricks in the same build?
Absolutely—dyed and vivid bricks are separate blocks, so you can combine them in any way you like to create custom color schemes and contrast in your builds.
Are there 16 colors of bricks like regular terracotta?
Yes, the mod adds 16 dyed brick blocks matching the standard terracotta color palette, plus additional vivid brick options with deeper tones for more variety.
Do I need to be in Creative mode to use this mod?
No, the mod is designed for survival mode—you obtain a brick block, unlock the recipes, and craft everything normally. Creative mode works too, but it's not required.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Prismatic Masonry adds decorative blocks and tiles, which are generally lightweight. Performance impact depends on how many blocks you place and your overall world complexity, but the mod itself is not known to cause significant lag.
