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:

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.
