Hello
I'm here to present my idea for something to implement into minecraft. It is a reflectively simple idea but can have amazing results. First a little background to my idea.
During the first few months of minecraft everyone was playing on what are now named 'classic' servers. I was one of those people. I was new to minecraft and was jumping from server to server until I found one that I liked and stayed with for quite a while. I did all sorts of projects, but my big thing at the time was pixel art. Big scale things like bosses from Mega Man games on the NES, to the entire title screen from Mario Bros. 3 and finally the title screen for Sonic the Hedgehog. One thing I found when doing these is the lack of colour you have. Using techniques you could get the correct colour but this was tedious. I thought a colour wheel would be a brilliant idea.
The way it would work is a simple white wool block as it is now in minecraft. You can place it as it is, or if you press G it would bring up a Circle in the middle of the screen, only when the white wool is selected of course. As demonstrated in the first picture. From there, you can let go of the G key, it would then bring you to a colour wheel where you drag the mouse around to the selected colour, with the box in the bottom right colour indicating the RGB and Alpha numbers. One left click would change the colour to that block. From there you can change the Hue and Saturation to the desired colour. Then press G to exit the interface. To keep track of where your mouse is a simple line from the center point which will follow the mouse until left clicked.
If you have trouble finding the desired colour, you can enter a program like photoshop and copy in a hexadecimal number to use. This interface allows for full customization, except for the colour itself, the example I used was under the theme of Sphax purebdcraft.
The repercussions for such a simple tool could potentially be huge. It would allow for extremely accurate pixel art for starters. But for builders like myself who like a lot of colour within their build, they have every colour to choose from and can get it finely tuned and build to what their mind desires. Along side that would come increase in quality within anything made on a server, no longer would builders need to substitute a coloured wool block for a brick or a piece of cobblestone within their build. They can bring up the colour wheel and chose the correct colour with ease! A possible point outside of wool blocks, is using the interface to change other blocks, not necessarily the colour of a dirt block, so its not brown instead pink. But changing the hue and saturation to a lighter shade of brown, or a darker one. When making large scale builds, like a castle for example. If you wanted to give a darker look to your castle without chosing obsidian and black wool, you could bring down the hue and saturation so its a darker shade of gray. The amount of possibilities would be endless! As demonstrated in the Third Picture.
Over all, an introduction to these two menus would change how buildings are made and how people would express their build ideas in their creations. Allowing minecraft to be a much, much more expressive game.
