Custom biome palettes#
Note
This setting does not affect the vanilla foliage and grass colormaps in assets/minecraft/textures/colormap
Note
This setting can be overridden per-colormap in each individual properties file in ~/colormap/custom
Custom biome palettes may be assigned to any standard block (one that does not already have its own special color multiplier method).
Each custom colormap should have a properties file in ~/colormap/custom.
In Vanilla Minecraft, the grass and leaf textures vary in color depending on the climate of the surrounding biome. This is controlled by two files:
assets/minecraft/textures/colormap/grass.pngassets/minecraft/textures/colormap/foliage.png
Each file is a 256×256 colormap applied to the base grass or leaf texture (which is usually grey).
