Gelatin

Gelatin is a specialized library for mod developers that focuses on working with Minecraft's color palette. The main goal of this project is to provide a convenient tool for adding new dyes and color variants without the need to rewrite the game's basic mechanics.

Why is Gelatin Necessary?

Minecraft's standard color system has several technical limitations:

• Extending the built-in DyeColor enumeration can lead to synchronization issues between client and server
• Mod loading order affects color sequence, causing incompatibilities
• Adding each new color requires creating a complete set of colored block and item variants
• The need to implement complex crafting recipes significantly increases development effort

Gelatin solves these problems by providing a unified dye registration system that works stably and predictably.
