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.

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

Creating Your Brushes:

1. Download resource pack - Required to see the brush textures - download on server join or here
2. Get dye items - Any dye item will work, but the name must match the color the item draws. You cannot create a red brush with a yellow dye for example
3. Rename to exact color names - Use an anvil to rename dyes
4. Use official names - Color names must match exactly, but are not case sensitive (see resources below)
5. NBT applied automatically - The plugin handles the technical work
