Artmap Brushes NBT (Custom)
Overview
Artmap Brushes NBT is a custom plugin that automatically applies NBT tags to Artmap dye items when they're renamed to their official color names. This enables the custom resource pack to retexture those dyes into paint brushes, creating an immersive art experience.
How It Works
Automatic NBT Processing:
Monitors dye items for name changes
Checks if the item name matches official artmap color names
Automatically applies custom_model_data NBT tags when names match
Works seamlessly in the background without player interaction
Resource Pack Integration:
The custom resource pack reads the NBT tags to apply brush textures
Only properly named dyes get the brush appearance
Maintains normal dye appearance for unnamed or incorrectly named items
Creates visual distinction between regular items and art dyes
