#Biome Colors?

Yeah that image was a freshly downloaded from curseforge and just injected into there. Not 10 minutes old.

well i am making a ingame tool and i was looking for the colors 🙂
ok found them.
graceful owl
yeah i found the color pallet 🙂
graceful owl
are these color pallets a standard at that point?
tribal kettle
the colors defined in the datapack were automatically generated by a script i made. but if you're interested in a hand-picked selection of colors, someone did make one. https://github.com/WhisperWhite/Terralith/blob/main/data/terralith/biome_colors.json
tribal kettle

not sure what you mean by "standard"
graceful owl
not sure what you mean by "standard"
in the sense that a lot of datapacks support that already?
tribal kettle
the json file was created only for jacobsjo's map app
thats the only thing the colors are used for
graceful owl
well if a lot of them already support it there is no reason to try to make it a standard again xD
tribal kettle
unless a mod dev sees it, and decides to use it for their own thing. in which case, i am unaware

what are you talking about?
the json format?
graceful owl
what are you talking about?
Do a lot of datapack devs that add biomes already support "jacobsjo's map app"
are you aware of that or is that new?
tribal kettle
the app only came out last month
so terralith, incendium, and nullscape support it, as well as a couple of other datapacks
graceful owl
well since i am making an ingame version i should also make sure that app file is checked for xD
tribal kettle
so not much
tribal kettle
well since i am making an ingame version i should also make sure that app file i...
maybe it would be a good idea for your mod or whatever you're making to use the same file then
graceful owl
maybe it would be a good idea for your mod or whatever you're making to use the ...
thats why i am asking is this already a standard xD
or a standard in the making
also yes its a mod.
tribal kettle
it is a new file that is used to define biome colors. if you'd like to use it, feel free
(also, next time, ask in either here or #terralith. no need to ask twice in different channels)
i didnt know you already received part of my response until i checked the other channel
graceful owl
yeah in this case i realised after i asked in terralith... Mayyybe i should ask in support that makes much more sense.
No worry. Thank you for this info 🙂
tribal kettle
anyways, in order for mod devs to incorporate the file, it should be placed in src/main/resources/data/[namespace]/biome_colors.json or whatever
that would make it compatible with jacobsjo's map
tribal kettle
yes
the datapacks dont use resourcepacks
so in order to get the color information that is used only for the map application, the file has to be defined inside the datapack
graceful owl
yeah mine will be resource pack based otherwise you can't really append to it easily.
tribal kettle
(the colors in this file is not used for anything inside the datapack. just the map website)
graceful owl
but adding datapack support isn't that hard to begin with.
well you can be sure that i will make use of them from now on too.
tribal kettle
well, you wouldnt define the colors in your mod/resourcepack
this would be on biome modders to define
graceful owl
well i doubt that many modders will support my side if they knew the full info 🙂
So i am planning to provide that info through my mod in a lot of cases.
