## Crafting
Some blocks can be crafted for convenience.

### Basic color cubes
This is crafted by multiple means.

Place a tiled color cube of a single color in the crafting grid
to obtain 4 basic color cubes.

Place a concentric color cube in the crafting grid
to obtain 8 basic color cubes.

### Tiled color cubes
This is crafted by placing 4 basic color cubes of the same
color into the crafting grid like this:

    XX
    XX

This yields one tiled color cube of the same color.

There are also a few tiled color cubes with a 2 color mosaic available.
They can be crafted from 4 basic color cubes:

    12
    21

“1” stands for the first color and “2” for the second color.

The following color combinations are available (usually complementary colors):

* Yellow and blue
* Red and cyan
* Green and magenta
* Aqua and red-violet
* Orange and skyblue
* Orange and brown
* Black and white
* Light gray and dark gray

### Concentric color cubes
This is crafted by placing 8 basic color cubes of the same
color into the crafting grid like this:

    XXX
    X X
    XXX

This yields one concentric color cube of the same color.

## Coloring
All cubes can be colored by multiple means. The first one
is by crafting: Place a dye and a color cube into the crafting
grid (shapeless recipe) to create a color cube of the dye color.

This mod supports the Paint Roller mod [`paint_roller`].
All color cubes can be painted to change their color,
provided the color is available.

This mod is supported by the Color Machine mod [`colormachine`]
for repainting most of the blocks in this mod.
