This would probably be a combination feature for FlatColoredBlocks and Chisels & Bits, but I would love to have a color picking tool reminiscent of the one that seems to be part of every image editing program(the one that typically looks like a pipette). For example, I'd like to be able to use this tool on an individual bit worth of a block and have it somehow help me get a block that matches the color of the face of the bit. Whether it helps me by telling me how many of which dyes I need, tells me the block ID and data value, or even just takes the components from my inventory and directly gives me the block, the HOW it helps is of lesser importance. It would just be a great help if it could even minimize the guesswork that needs to be done to try and get the right color to match an existing texture.

Of course, this would have to take into account bits which don't have the same color on all faces, which my observations say the mod already does somehow.
Maybe it could even work on things which cant be turned into bits but still seem to exist on the same grid as bits, like chests and other tile entities. I figure that asking for this to work on entities is pushing my luck though, so I wont even ask for that.

Are you asking for an item that scans for any item in the game that matches any "pixel" of any block in game? Or just scans Flat Colored Blocks? or..?

I'm not entirely sure what your asking for, if you just wanted a way to find a shade you used before you could look at the shade number and color name of the Flat Colored Block, or bit made of it to know how to remake that shade.

Can you please try to detail out what it is your wanting to do?

Either one. Lets say I wanted to be get a block which matches the color of a specific pixel on a vanilla chest. Or if tile entities are more effort than its worth, then the primary color of the border on an iron block. I'd like some sort of tool that will help me find the closest match(es) that I can make with Flat Colored Blocks.

So... any progress? 😃

Unfortunately no, I've been working C&B, and the past several weeks I've not had time to make any progress there either.

If another developer wants to try their hand at this they are welcome to, I can't say when I'll get to it.

Np, was just curious I may just try my hand...

ty and sorry about that i couldn't find it X.x

I've got one for you AlgorithmX2 How about doors chisel and bit doors.. the ability to chisel out and door of any shape and then chisel out a door way for the door to fit in and have it open and close... so I can make a big round door for my hobbit house and have it open : )

@save99 This has already been suggested, ChiselsAndBits/Chisels-and-Bits#133

Please look in the appropriate projects / issues in the future.

If you can figure out how to do it, that might be possible using chisel&bytes. Though I believe I remember there being a fairly restrictive size limit on that

What are the chances we could get a tooltip(at least as a temporary thing) on all flat color blocks, which somehow indicates their color values in RGB, HSV, or some other system? That way, people who are motivated enough can at least more easily compare the color values by themselves.

@static7s 100%

v4.4 will contain configurable tool-tips to show RGB, HSV, LightValue, and Opacity.

Just to throw my own 2 cents in here. I love C&B. But I'm having a real hard time trying to recreate some pixel art with FCB because there is no RGB search. So I would love what is suggested here to be added.

Could this encompass a way to enter a RGB color value into a ingame item and say "Here are the closest matches"

I think that is half of the idea, part one being to get the RGB of something your looking at.

Indeed it is.
