# Palette

SkinStatues matches each visible skin color to the nearest material in its curated 53-block palette. You can exclude unwanted materials, add another block, or retune the color assigned to a built-in material.

Changes affect newly created statues only. Existing statues are normal world blocks and are not recolored.

### Excluding blocks on Paper

Use Bukkit material names:

```yaml
palette:
  excluded:
    - BROWN_MUSHROOM_BLOCK
    - STRIPPED_JUNGLE_LOG
  extra: {}
```

Names are case-insensitive, and the optional `minecraft:` prefix is accepted.

### Adding or retuning blocks on Paper

Map a block material to its representative RGB color:

```yaml
palette:
  excluded: []
  extra:
    WHITE_WOOL: "#E9ECEC"
    SMOOTH_SANDSTONE: "#D8C998"
```

If a listed material already exists in the built-in palette, the custom color replaces its matching color. Otherwise, the material is added as another candidate.

### Excluding blocks on Fabric

Use Minecraft block identifiers:

```json
{
  "palette": {
    "excluded": [
      "minecraft:brown_mushroom_block",
      "minecraft:stripped_jungle_log"
    ],
    "extra": {}
  }
}
```

The `minecraft:` namespace can be omitted for vanilla blocks.

### Adding or retuning blocks on Fabric

```json
{
  "palette": {
    "excluded": [],
    "extra": {
      "minecraft:white_wool": "#E9ECEC",
      "minecraft:smooth_sandstone": "#D8C998"
    }
  }
}
```

### Color format

Colors use six-digit hexadecimal RGB:

```
#RRGGBB
```

The leading `#` is optional. Choose a color representing the block texture's overall appearance rather than one unusually bright or dark pixel.

### Invalid entries

Unknown blocks and invalid colors are ignored and reported in the server log. If exclusions would remove every available material, SkinStatues falls back to its built-in palette.

{% hint style="info" %}
Test palette changes with several skins. A color that improves one skin can make another color range less accurate.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cheddah-development.net/plugin-documentaion/skin-statues/palette.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
