Palette Tools 1.2.1

Palette Tools 1.2.1

Kept up to date with BlockDesigner 0.4.27: built and tested against its plugin API. Nothing changes in how it works.

Needs BlockDesigner 0.4.24 or later (plugin API 6). Older BlockDesigners keep 1.1.3 until BlockDesigner itself is updated.

Changed

• Built against the BlockDesigner 0.4.27 plugin API.

Palette Tools 1.2.0

Palette Tools 1.2.0

Its Palette and Gradients pages are easier to read, and the Palette tool's key can now be changed.

Needs BlockDesigner 0.4.24 or later (plugin API 6). Older BlockDesigners keep 1.1.3 until BlockDesigner itself is updated.

New

• The Palette tool's key (Shift+P) can be changed in Settings › Keybinds.
• Help and units on the options of the Palette tool, the transforms, the colour palette exporter and the importer.

Changed

• Palette page: block icons, a filter at the top, and every kind of block, not just the first 200. What it counts is at the bottom. It recounts a moment after you stop editing.
• Gradients page: your own gradients and the built-in ones in two sections. + saves the hotbar as a gradient; deleting one of yours asks first.
• The importer is now called "Simple pixel art (wool, concrete or terracotta)", so it's easy to tell apart from Pixel Art Generator's when BlockDesigner asks which one to use.

Fixed

• Block icons on both pages show once Minecraft's assets have loaded, instead of grey squares until something changed.

Palette Tools 1.1.0

Palette Tools 1.1.0

A Palette tool that repaints the selection right in the 3D view, preset gradients, and more ways to make a gradient. The Wall tool is gone: BlockDesigner's own Build-mode shapes do walls.

Needs BlockDesigner 0.4.17 or later (plugin API 5). BlockDesigner 0.4.16 and later update to it automatically once BlockDesigner itself is on 0.4.17; older ones keep 1.0.2.

New

• Palette tool (Shift+P):
  • Select blocks right in the tool with the left button (click, drag a box, Shift adds, Ctrl removes), or bring a selection from Select mode.
  • Pick Palette swap, Weathering or Gradient in its options (bottom left); only that mode's options show.
  • The result shows as ghosts straight away and follows every change. Right-click or Enter applies it as one undo step, R rolls new random picks, Esc hides the preview.
• Gradients panel: preset gradients shown like hotbars of up to nine blocks (Deepslate to stone, Snowy peak, Mossy ruin, Sandstone, Wood, Nether, Copper ageing, Sunset, Ocean, Rainbow, Greys).
  • Click one to paint with it in the Palette tool.
  • Hotbar puts its blocks in the hotbar.
  • Save the hotbar as a gradient keeps your own; ✕ deletes one.
• More gradient options:
  • Along: out from the middle, in to the middle, or out from the middle flat, as well as up, down and the four sides.
  • Edges: a random blend, an even dither pattern, or hard bands.
  • Repeats, optionally mirrored (1 2 3 2 1), for stripes.

Changed

• Blocks in the options are small hotbar-style slots with the block's icon. Click one for the held block, drop one from the block list, right-click to remove it from a mix, and use the wheel to change its share. The pencil still edits them as text.
• Built against the BlockDesigner 0.4.17 plugin API.

Removed

• Wall tool. Use Build mode's Wall and Walls shapes instead (hold Alt).
