🎨 Pigmentum - Minecraft Canvas API

Turn every block surface into your personal canvas. Paint pixel by pixel on any surface in Minecraft.

Pigmentum is a low-level canvas API for NeoForge mod developers. Out-of-the-box painting features (brushes, GUI, blend modes) will be developed separately at Fresco. Pigmentum focuses on providing the core canvas infrastructure and extension API.

✨ Features

🖌️ Canvas System

  • Any Block as Canvas: Right-click any block surface with a paintbrush to turn it into a canvas that blends seamlessly with the block.
  • Pixel-Level Drawing: Hold right-click and drag to draw smooth, continuous lines—no gaps even at high speed.
  • Multi-Face Canvases: Paint independently on each face of a block—top, bottom, and all four sides.
  • Irregular Block Support: Stairs, slabs, fences, and other shaped blocks can be painted with pixel-perfect precision.
  • Brush Configuration Menu: Right-click the air with a paintbrush to adjust brush size, feathering, blend mode, and drawing interval.

🎯 Paintbrush System

  • Color Picker: Press the R key to sample the color of the pixel under your crosshair.
  • Multiple Blend Modes: Choose from Overwrite, Additive, Multiply, and Erase.

📦 Canvas Extraction & Display

  • Canvas Sheet Item: Sneak-right-click a painted block to copy one face onto a Canvas Sheet without removing the original.
  • Item Frame Display: Place a Canvas Sheet in an item frame to display your artwork like a map.

🧩 Extension API

  • Custom Image Providers (CanvasImageProvider) — register custom texture generation from pixel data
  • Custom Renderers (CanvasPixelRenderer) — control how canvas faces are rendered
  • Per-Pixel Effect Layers — attach arbitrary byte data per pixel (e.g. glow intensity, roughness)
  • Custom Blend Functions (BlendFunction) — full control over pixel color and effect compositing
  • Custom Paint Brushes (IPaintProvider) — register any item as a brush with custom behavior
