I'm quite surprised that I did not find anything on the forum about this (except for mods), so if something like this exists already, please excuse me.
What about being able to colour all blocks, so there could be blue bricks or white stone or whatever, just like in reality, where all materials do not have the same colour. How could we achieve this?
Well, the way I've been thinking of, is having half-transparent squares of every colour in the terrain.png. When you then use a dye on a block (say blue with brick) this half-transparent square will be a layer over the block (without adding something like snow which goes up, only changing the colour). I don't think this would be that hard to implement, but my coding skills are limited to TI-Basic, so...
There might be something like a neutraliser dye if you accidentally painted a block or just don't want it anymore. Alternatively, by breaking a block it loses its colour (I'm more in favour of this idea, though).
Putting one dye over the other would create a mixture, say you first colour the brick block blue and then yellow it would create green.

What do you think, fellow Minecraftians?
