1.21 Color World

[@JediSteve-J3-]

I can't believe Gneiss invented color, thank you.

13:08 - I think simply adding a biome picker for the entire palette could work.

[@NephriteQueen]

Maybe also setting particular blocks as particular biomes may also work? Shouldn’t interfere with other blocks too?

[@aenetanthony]

@@NephriteQueen12:04 he explains why you can’t just set by block

[@JoaoPedro-ow7kx]

Yep, I thought of the same thing. I know it’s more scientific than that, but if you’re using this world to choose colors for a building, there’s a good chance that the building, more often than not, will be placed in a single biome.

[@gneissname]

This would also work with an idea that I have had for a video to look at the colors of blocks naturally found in each biome

[@brendanleonard1867]

I came here to comment the same thing

[@mare65]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that everything showed here is essentially free for us

[@CartonOwO]

Since you will only be building in a single biome most of the time, I think being able to change the whole colour space's biome, and the biome dependant blocks moving based on what biome you selected would be a good solution

[@octosaurinvasion]

[@parrazarre1773]

Update suppression is even more unreliable in 1.21 so it makes sense to not include it

[@AppImage]

also suspicious sand and suspicious gravel by dropping them into cobwebs

[@rosy-rho]

So excited to jump in and play with the new world! For biome dependent textures, you could have a separate set of noteblocks/settings to choose the biome for the entire block area, so you only ever need to worry about one biome at a time.

[@Meganought]

I was gonna suggest this, if you're looking for a specific colour in a biome, you can essentially only use that biome anyway

[@Froggenheimer42]

I build in Survival where I can't change the biome so this would be great for planning pallets with the biome dependant blocks

[@PiercingSight]

Let's gooooo!! After years of people making color palettes, we finally have an accurate 3D palette that takes all three dimensions into account! Thank you so much for the awesome work on this!

[@hamburgerbroz6439]

the little discord icon at 20:40 is so well done! very cute haha

[@riccardo9953]

amazing work man if i may suggest, most builds are in a single biome. it would likely work to just set the biome of the entire color space and only display the leaves in that biome. i doubt any builder would take issue with that considering they too can only set biomes of that same minimum size

[@GustvandeWal]

This would be perfect. Let the player pick the biome they want, display accordingly, and leave it up to them to see what works 👌

[@asher3311]

WOOOOOO OKLAB WOOOOOOOOOOOOO I ❤ OKLAB I AM THE NUMBER ONE OKLAB FAN LETS GOOOOOOOOO 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@straythorn0117]

Regarding the biome specific blocks, perhaps biomes could become another setting? Default could be plains or something, and all leaves would be considered based on their appearance in the plains biome, on all other colour world presets. If someone wanted to see leaf blocks relative to the other blocks in a mesa for example, by pressing the mesa preset, all biome dependant blocks would be shifted to their mesa colours instead. I know with the ever expanding list of biomes this adds a certain amount of “clunk” to the colour world, but I feel like showing it in this way would be useful for people building in specific biomes. For those who don’t want biomes specific blocks shown, they can be turned off as a setting as well

Hey Gneiss, instead of using the /setblock command you can also use the debug stick. I find myself using the debug stick quite often.

[@Nekomancer_Evei]

Thank you so much for this, I was working on manually making a test world with my own color wheel setup by eye, and even though I had 'perfect' vision for color distribution, it's exhausting staring at the blocks for hours on end, and manually placing each item in creative just to figure out where on the color wheel it best represents. This takes a lot of that guess work out and now I can choose my own color palettes on this for my building needs, PROPERLY. It in a shame that so many colors are missing, and with such huge gaps it makes some aspect of choosing for certain themes a bit limited. I'm looking forward to more updates on more options to use this type of world, and intrigued on how it all works from a programmer's perceptive instead of just the average artist perspective.

[@rainbowlack]

[@hamzamotara4304]

As a Computer Science lecturer, this challenge would be an incredibly good exercise for my students, who have been learning about statistic representations and graphical processing recently.

[@prestonhager6444]

For the biome dependent textures you could use a custom resource pack to generate the blocks closer together. Then you don’t have to mess with biomes. Plus include a debug stick of some kind to view what biome each block is in or selector in the controls

[@bcbble]

yeah bc that isn’t annoying and hard coding is good. Also what blocks would be replaced to do this??

[@prestonhager6444]

@@bcbble i’m sure there’s a way to make custom textures/models without replacing the whole block

[@prestonhager6444]

Also, you could use display entities on top of the actual block, which is “transparent” so that you can still select the block

[@verebellus]

this has helped me understand colors and color spaces better than i learnt in school. and Color spaces are a big part of my education so its been incredible helpful. i am a videographer and do color grading

[@Dzekin]

Regarding the leaves ((dark) oak, acacia, mangrove, jungle) - I agree that their inclusion is not needed for the reasons you mentioned (+biome blending will also affect their color) but! If you want to add them, you could technically just average out the color of each leaf (except for those that are color locked ofc), and just summon a text display showing a square in that color (then additionally just above said color you _could_ add a separate text display saying "leaf type - biome" and make the text display's render distance something like 0.1 or 0.05 so it only really shows the leaf data when you're close to it) Other than that, thanks for this sort of videos, thanks to you I learned about oklab color space and also thanks to your missing color videos I have some stuff planned out for personal projects - with your videos it's easier to actually see which colors we builders lack! Also, those blocks that you said can only be accessed with commands - actually if you have full permissions (in singleplayer that just means that you can use commands), you can get all those block states (and more!) with debug stick

[@gneissname]

Good ideas, I always forget about the debug stick.

I used your spreadsheet for planning pixel art. At first I tried to use the Minecraft world, but it turned out to be too much manual effort, so I turned your spreadsheet into a more easily parseable text file, removed blocks that I could not or did not want to use and made a script to generate tiled patterns out of each option that was reasonably close to my desired RGB value, which I could then all insert as lower layers in an image editor, below an image with a cutout for seeing the layers when I turned them on one by one. That way, I got some pretty good results, with not much manual effort, but still manual decisions.

[@BlueDavrial]

Fun to see both Median and Mean being available as options!

[@anyboch]

I was watching this and thought, "the only thing this needs is a way to filter by the noise he talked about video"-you are such a blessing gneiss! Having a perceptually uniform, 3d color explorer for minecraft is so powerful, and being able to programatically filter out the blocks that aren't very usable for building makes this literally perfect

[@kyrius_gm4]

I recommend the 'debug stick' item over setblock for things like barrels

[@dj_enby]

Feedback: separate selector for the bookshelves seems like a good idea because they take up a lot of space in the regular layout. also, if possible, a selector that toggles "autorun," which toggles adding the color_world_activate function to the end of each of the selectors.

[@LightslicerGP]

Just to let you know, stained glass have that border NOT because it's colored different on the texture, but the OPACITY is set to a higher value

[@SaltSpirits]

Here’s an exercise for you. Open a new document in photoshop/whatever with a transparent background. Fill the entire canvas with any colour. Sample that into the primary colour. Turn the opacity of the layer down by 50% and sample it again into the secondary colour You’ll likely notice the hex values are different. Is that enough to classify them as a different colour? I think so.

[@LightslicerGP]

@SaltSpirits yes but thats RGBA hex colors, mabye this is just me but I'm assuming he is working currently with JUST RGB and not including alpha, he mentions how he hasn't dealt with vines/sculk vines and whatnot becuase they have transparent spots, so I'm assuming he doesn't take the alpha value into consideration For stained glass, the RGB is the same on the middle and border, but the alpha values are completely different

[@AkiSan0]

for the overlay blocks i think a flat "rgb" style would work best. so you move all blocks to the backwall and then you can overlay them with all blocks that are transparent. vines, trapdoors, glass etc. maybe even a glass/airblock stacker to see the different fog types you can create.

[@baccocraft]

Congrats on the launch of the colour world! I'm the creator of MCRGB (a mod for searching for blocks in-game based on their colours), and it's been cool to watch your videos as I've been working on such a similar project. Using Median to calculate dominant colours is an awesome idea and not something I would've thought of! I've learned a lot from your videos, especially thanks to the visualizations. I'm interested to see how you tackle separating multi-coloured blocks. I'd suggest looking into clustering algorithms for that. I had to come up with my own algorithm for my use case because performance was a concern, since all the calculations happen in-game during runtime. So I'd be very interested to see your approach to it.

[@Christopher-cr7pw]

I think Mojang needs to see more of your videos because it would greatly help out future blocks and adds since Minecraft lacks a good base color match without noise and with. There's alot of Grey's with little color we need more blue blocks or red with stairs and slabs, walls, etc

[@vickfrankenstein]

Mobs organized by color would be neat. Separate from the main contraption.

[@ShinoSarna]

One question I have for you - since you make so much educational content about colory but you're a geologist... Are any tools or frameworks within color theory useful in geology work?

[@BryanLu0]

He has made a video about colors of dirt

[@gneissname]

Yeah there are a few areas of overlap, accurate description of natural materials is important for field work, in the lab there are a few things like polarized light microscopy that is used for mineral identification and when you create figures for publication is important to have data accurately represented by colors if you are using them and I also try to think about color deficiency when doing this as well. It’s something I would like to make a video on sometime.

[@ScriptCoded]

For the biome problem: maybe use a custom resource pack for the world and hard code the color variant? Of course that doesn't take into account biome blending, but that will be hard to use anyway. Or maybe just have a biome selector for the whole canvas. You won't be able to mix biomes anyway, but maybe you know you'll build in a birch forest for example.

[@bentzge]

I think for the leaves it would be useful to have a setting that sets the biome for the entire color space and places the leaves in the appropriate spot for that biome, since most builds are probably contained in a single biome.

[@jorgehaswag7294]

Maybe you could put a “representative” block in the colorspace (like maybe a sign that says the name) for all of the biome dependent leaves

[@tryctan2399]

you could do a biome picker with generic biomes like plains, taiga or desert and automatically re-update the color space on each biome change.

[@Wise0ne_42]

I think it would be cool and useful if you added a filter for blocks that have stair and/or slap variants (you could even do walls if you really wanted)

[@AndersAstrand]

I think it would be useful to have a filter for blocks that have half slab variants. So you can find colors for floors and such where you don't want spawning.

[@gneissname]

good idea

[@douira]

For separating out multiple groups of color within the same texture, performing k-means on the pixels would generate groups (you'll have to see which k is best, either by just trying multiple values or doing something more sophisticated) that can then be tested for large separation. If the means of the groups are separated by a certain margin, the block can be considered to have multiple distinct groups.

[@TheMonarchofGold]

If you pick the right red and green, you should be able to get a very nice gray, actually! Very useful when painting! Makes a color that is much more full-bodied than black/white mixed together.

[@Solid_Fuel]

[@GustvandeWal]

Please add a filter for the resource-heaviness of blocks! Netherite blocks, shulker boxes, etc. would drop first. Then crying obsidian, sponges diamond blocks, etc. With a hypothetical last step just being stuff like dirt, sand, stone variants and oak. It would greatly help people use this for building pallettes when they have limited time or experience playing the game.

[@bunnyisdreaming6081]

Are you talking about basically the "rarity" of blocks? Like gathering netherite blocks to build with would be much harder than nether bricks? That would be a very subjective category and would be quite hard to define. There's (probably) no mathematical property you could apply to determine something like that. That all depends on the seed, player skill, rng, etc. Seed/world generation - Gathering jungle wood might seem really impossible in one world, but be very easy in another. This would go even farther based on player position, as in any world it would be easier to find a certain biome/block/resource based on the cords. Player skill/knowledge - Iron blocks could be no sweat for someone who is able and knowledgeable to building iron farms, but could seem impossible to a player who goes mining for it. This could also extend to items that require combat, such as getting nether stars for beacons, or shulker shells for shulker boxes. RNG - You could be attempting to get wither skulls or shulker shells and get very lucky with the drops, or you could be very unlucky and have a very hard time obtaining them. Sure, there could be a general consensus for some items, such as getting ancient debris is definitely harder than getting dirt, but when you get down to things like birch vs spruce wood, how could you possibly define one as more or less "resource heavy"? Not a bad idea in theory, but in practice it seems almost impossible.

[@GustvandeWal]

@@bunnyisdreaming6081 lmao of course these would be subjective. I was considering adding "(subjective)" before "resource-heaviness", but decided to drop it as I figured it was obvious. You're just being difficult. Very, very difficult. And I have no interest in explaining why. There are so many solutions to everything you listed... Lastly, your point about RNG is flawed. It makes no sense to bring it up since we are _talking about_ rarity, and RNG is intrinsically linked to that. Low RNG? Big rarity. It's that simple. No point in bringing it up. In a way, it's the very thing I am addressing that you are bringing up as a point of critique.

[@roderik1990]

I had a little world that did most of the same thing. Only real difference that it was horribly manual. (set block, and a list of block coordinates I copied from a script) and I used wptlab. I don't honestly think there is too much of a practical difference between OKlab and that one. (except maybe in how they deal with white balance) Cactus ended up one of the most brightest and saturated greens. It was also hard to find a good compromise between having the more chromatic blocks close enough together to see the relations, while not having the desaturated blocks so close together that they overlap everywhere. As far the leaves go, maybe there's still value in just locking the entire display to a single biome to show the relative differences between the different leaf blocks. And how the leaves look, in that biome. I ended up finding the structure massively useful in making gradients and palettes. And it makes you consider blocks you otherwise wouldn't have.

[@crimsonfire6932]

This work is excellent and is going to be a very useful tool for the community in terms of coming up with interesting builds. I didn’t realize just how many limitations it has when it comes to functional blocks, non-full blocks, support dependent and transparent blocks though. Part of me thinks some of these things don’t or shouldn’t matter too much. I don’t think many people will use red stone components, work stations, or vaults and spawners for decorations, especially not in a survival setting where these blocks are not normally obtainable and are not truly meant to be “building” blocks. But the range of textures that are possible using these kinds of blocks does open up several possibilities in terms of decorative or creative building. I think it’d be cool if Minecraft added a tool that would essentially allow you to rotate blocks simply by clicking it, thus toggling different block orientations easily without having to deal with complicated placing mechanics and limitations (god knows it was hard for me to learn how to make the 2 by 2 glazed terracotta patterns). These interesting block possibilities like vertical planks, perpetually activated vaults or spawners, and one in particular that I’ve been frustrated with is utilizing every side of the sculk catalyst (the underside of the block is beautiful) could all significantly expand building possibilities, without really adding new content. Another idea is, what if unique block textures like dirt with sculk vein vines or lichen could be turned into items? Craft them together and make them silk touchable as one block essentially. Though this might have the effect of blowing up the creative inventory with redundant blocks of just every possible combinations of these things, it’d be cool to be able to premake them and place them directly.

[@seeker_n259]

I think you should add a note block section for biome selection. It will be applied on the whole color space and will therefore change all block positions according to the biome selected. This idea is stemmed by the fact that most builds don't span over multiple biomes generally. If that isn't what you desire, you could also put a named invisible armor stand on the leaves to indicate their biome and simply order them like other blocks but taking into consideration their color in the mentioned biome, builders will simply have to look for and pick their lief of choice by its name.

[@novafox19]

everybody gangsta till bro hands out the Excel block textures color sheet

[@RubberCrowy]

For the leaves and their biome dependencies, I feel like you could take all similar colours they can be and average them together. It probably isn't going to change much if you're using the block in a biome with a slightly different green. As for any major differences, I don't know what could be done yet. The leaves could also be given their own toggle.

For a lot of the creative only blockstates, it is easier to use a debug stick when building with them. Also I think you missed the snowy grass block, as the top has has a texture you cant usually see.

[@skay1012]

That's an awesome concept. Cant wait to download the map to try it out

[@stefvanschie8637]

I played a bit with pixel art some time ago, but I found that the mean colour of a block is pretty limiting. For example, birch log would end up being a gray colour, but if the picture has a gray colour, it's probably better to use gray wool, concrete, or similar. I wrote some code that checks the entire texture of the block, not just the mean colour. It takes a lot longer to compute the block palette, even on smaller builds, but I found the end result to be noticeably better than the result I got using some stock program that uses the mean colour of a block.

[@nathanwatts5720]

One very overkill method to find the "average colors" of blocks with multiple colors in them would be using K-means clustering for all the block pixel values. Maybe start at 3 or 4 and eliminate centroids that come too close together, since most blocks will have 1 or 2 clusters. The other method, which would be *much* easier, would be to generate a color histogram and average the pixels that fall into the most populated bins. That would also eliminate "outlier" pixels from the average in the same way the median does while still finding multiple color centroids. But you'd have to figure out how to generate the bins so that the bin separations don't bias the output... Maybe there would be a way to merge with neighboring bins. I'm sure this work has been done before...

[@JohnFortnite007]

[@wiggletonthewise2141]

for the leaves problem, you could possibly make a data pack that adds new blocks and give them the texture and color of the leaves, with all the unique colors so they can exist in the same place together, all those placeholder leaves could show up in the graph, maybe with a little name tag stating the biome the leaf is from

[@BellePullman]

Ahh so interesting! A suggestion that you might have covered - but, I'd love to see non-full blocks as an option? the colours available for stairs, slabs, walls... far more limited than full blocks, but being able to see how it all fits together may be rather useful?

[@gneissname]

Ah yeah, I haven’t added things like stairs and fences because they use the same texture files as the whole blocks, but yeah that’s a good point to have only blocks that are non full.

[@softpaw6234]

For biome colors I believe there's a way to display custom models with display entities, so you could recreate the colors of blocks in each biome using Blender or something and use those; tho that would of course be quite a bit of work especially if you want to account for biome blending. Frankly I'd just go for a biome selector for the whole volume and assume most builds are in one biome as another commenter suggested, especially considering the only biomes that really make a drastic change are swamps with green water and deserts/savannahs with dry leaves iirc

[@WH1T3_No1SE]

You could add biome selection per whole display, then display blocks in appropriate color for the biome, have values for different biomes saved and move them based on what biome is selected. I think that would be useful because you build on certain biomes then you can see where in color space are leaves based on what biome you plan to build in.

[@LarsDonner]

You mention of glass as low-noise blocks made me wonder: how does your code deal with transparency, does pre-multiplied alpha work with OKLab and how does transparency of real-world crystals factor in determining their color?

[@gneissname]

The crystals is a long long answer, but for how i deal with transparency here, its ignores the transparency of semi transparent pixels. so for glass, all of the pixels are actually one color, the ones around the edges are just less transparent. if the pixel is 100% transparent, it is removed from the averaging math so it doesn't affect the mean.

[@Jordanianian]

I think that a good solution for the biome issue would be to have a biome selector that recalculates the positions of the biome dependent blocks. This would make it so that if you selected a warm biome, then all of the biome dependent blocks in the color space would be adjusted within that biome color, and moved accordingly. I don’t know how this would be implemented, but that’s what I think would work best.

[@gneissname]

That actually makes a lot of sense. You usually know the biome you are building in and don’t need to know multiple. That would not be that hard to implement either.

[@bloodwolf2609]

In bedrock edition you can easily get the opened barrel texture in survival. Just have the barrel moved by a piston while opened.

Nevertheless the spreadsheet will be a huge help when hacking my own scripts to genwrate nice color gradients!

[@Mikemk_]

If I remember right, you can kill the java process Minecraft is running on while looking in a barrel or chest, and it will stay open.

[@lelaleasl]

for the biome stuff, people are often building in one biome, so you could have a biome switch to select the biome youre in. Obv not perfect, some people use biomes for texturing, but this could be a separate area.

[@darioferretti3758]

Maybe you can just add an extra setting for biome, depending on that it changes the biome of all the graph and shows the leafs in the proper location (for said biome)

[@rav3nston3]

for things like grass and mushrooms and dead bushes, you can use a block tag to set what they can be placed on to anything you want (like string if you want to make the support block unobtrusive) but i do think block displays would be the best way to handle that, also for stuff like shulkers that get culled because you can set the view distance to anything you want really cool stuff though, i almost feel like mojang should take some notes from you and what kinds of things you're showcasing edit: one other thing, do you think there aren't enough dye colors? i think 24 colors would be pretty great, adding some of the old wool colors? maybe another gray between the dark and light? so much potential

[@kena7016]

For the biome dependent colors, maybe use Minecraft maps? Like, reproduce the pixels of the textures using blocks on different regions of the world, then map them and use the map in the color display

[@E_T_31]

11:52 In order to display these different foliage blocks independent of the in-world biome, one could make a custom resource pack with dummy blocks/items for each of the different biome colors. These wouldn't be the actual blocks obviously, but could be perfect visual replicas using display entities! Let me know if you want to look into that & need some help ;-)

[@honichi1]

imo make it so you can change the biome for the whole selector box so if someone starts a build in a certain biome they can select the biome and then the leaves and stuff get displayed accordingly

[@barchel]

Yooooo, so excited!

Hmm, maybe you could take advantage of the things you don't have in the colorspace like items/armor stands or mobs to represent the leaves, and create a texture pack that gives different things the like, combined texture of each leaf in each biome, ignoring gradients? I also like the idea of biome being a setting. I would suggest making a mod that adds unchanging leaves of each type, but I get the idea this is supposed to remain vanilla.

18:32 Idea for these blocks: have a setting to add one of those side blocks, then rearrange the blocks in the colour space with the add3 texture of the one on the side.

20:10 you could use the k-means algorithm here

Thanks for the tip, I’ll read up.

The Hyperlands Weather Channel has located the Open Sign.

for the leaves, could you have another selection panel to chose the biome in the display? you wouldn't be able to see blocks with differing biomes at the same time, but I think it would be fine for most cases, where you need a palette for a build in a certain biome

8:00 idea, mint dye, made with lime dye and light blue dye, get this to MOJANG. Could also use new items like mangrove propagule or weathered copper

Is it not using the block display entities?

[@gneissname]

This only uses real blocks so you can middle click and pick from it. I might add some animation to it but keeping it real blocks make its more functional imo.

[@omayoperations8423]

@@gneissname Makes sense. The color world is made for builders after all.

[@sandwichqueen]

​@@gneissname could you use both for best of both worlds? Basically have display entities and a toggle between that and blocks.

[@XceptionalBro]

Can you change the leaves texture in a block display entity? Maybe you could place the display entities over real leaves, giving them a fixed texture but allowing middle click

[@gneissname]

@@XceptionalBro For some reason leaves and other biome dependent blocks do not take color from the biome they are spawned in as entities, they just use the default color of plains.

13:00 shoot it like Lord of the Rings. Have them display off in the distance, so you have a few "viewing angles" as part of your display.

Gneiss video, really enjoyed.

This is probably too complicated but it'd be interesting to see how signs with colored text can interact with this.
