Palettinator

!palettinator_cover

Find, generate, preview, and share Minecraft block palettes without leaving the game. Palettinator brings palettinator.com — the free, ad-free block & colour palette generator — straight into Minecraft, as both chat commands and a full in-game GUI.

Stuck on which blocks go together? Generate a palette, preview it right in the world, load it into your hotbar, and build. Made something great? Publish it to the site in one command.

⚠️ Alpha: early access and under active development. Most things work; a few are still missing (e.g. the very newest 26.2 blocks). Feedback welcome!

✨ Features

• 🎨 Generate palettes — /palette generate makes a fresh, colour-coordinated palette and loads it into your hotbar. Seed it from a colour (/palette generate blue) or from the block in your hand (/palette generate hand).
• ✨ Gradients — /palette gradient white_concrete blue_concrete builds a smooth colour ramp between two blocks. No args = a gradient between the blocks in your main hand and off-hand.
• 🧱 In-world preview — /palette build <#> places a palette as a temporary strip in front of you so you can see the blocks together; it auto-clears (or /palette clear).
• 🔎 Search the community — /palette search cozy finds palettes by name, tag, creator, or number, with a colour preview right in chat — hover any square to see the block, click a line to load it.
• 📥 Load into your hotbar — /palette get 73286 drops a palette's blocks into your hotbar. (In survival you get one of each; creative gets full stacks. Big palettes come as a bundle.)
• 📤 Publish & update — arrange blocks in your hotbar, then /palette publish "Cozy Cabin" medieval,oak A snug little build. It goes live on your palettinator.com profile with a clickable link. /palette update 42 refreshes an existing one.
• ❤️ Browse, like & roll — /palette browse top, /palette mine, /palette like 42, /palette roll for instant inspiration.

🖥️ Built-in GUI (install client-side)

Press P in-game to open the Palettinator browser — a native UI that mirrors the website:

• Browse — searchable grid of palette cards with real block textures, author, and a clickable ❤ like button.
• Build — six slots you can fill by clicking (block picker with live search) or with Generate (watch the slots spin like a slot machine and land on a fresh palette). Then Load to hotbar or Build preview.
• Palettes — your own creations. Likes — everything you've hearted.
• Click any palette for a detail view with a big block grid, load/preview, like, and "Open on site".

The keybind is rebindable under Options → Controls → Palettinator.

🟢 Works on vanilla clients — no install required for players

Install it on your server and every player can use the commands, even on a completely vanilla client — it's all chat commands, clickable links, and colour swatches. No resource pack required. Installing it client-side additionally unlocks the GUI above. (Singleplayer: just install it normally.)

🛡️ For server admins

• Permissions (LuckPerms): every command has a node — palettinator.command.build, palettinator.command.publish, palettinator.command.generate, etc. — so you can grant/deny per group. Without a permissions mod it falls back to sensible defaults (in-world build defaults to operators when buildRequiresOp is set).
• Config (config/palettinator.json): toggle commands on/off, require op for in-world building, set per-action cooldowns, and tune the preview's lifetime and block cap.
• Survival-friendly: loading a palette gives one block each in survival (no free stacks), full stacks in creative.

🔗 Publishing to your account

Publishing/updating is tied to your Palettinator account. Run /palette link, click the link in chat, sign in, and approve — that's it. You can revoke access anytime in your account settings. Browsing, generating, previewing, and loading palettes need no account at all.
