This has very quickly become my favorite Minecraft channel on UA-cam. I love your style of narration and your command block skills are insane. Your stair replacement video in particular was exactly what I needed for a project and these color space videos are perfect for making good looking builds. I can't believe you still only have 15k subscribers
It's insane how well you make complex topics palatable and understandable, you perfectly fit the void SethBling left when he stopped doing redstone :D You're a great teacher!
omfg this is so frickin cool!!!!!!!! i’m an artist & I primarily work traditionally, but I have also worked with digital color spaces and it’s awesome to see them represented in minecraft (another one of my fav things lol)!!!!! logically I knew the relation between hsl & hsv & rgb, but to see them represented spatially in minecraft is actually really helpful, both for building with color palettes and texture in minecraft and for making art :D & all the command stuff etc is really impressive too!!! love this so much ✨
Thanks Thein, art and games have always been things I am interested in so it’s cool to be able to see this in a 3D space like too too. Glad others think it’s cool too.
This makes me wanna know what the CMYK system would look like in a 3D space, though it probably wouldn’t be very useful for the color world since it’s mainly for printing media, which doesn’t really apply to Minecraft builds lmao.
@@Rich-je9fy No, CMYK uses values based on the amount of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink required for a printer to print the color. Handy for when you have to make print media but nothing else really. Plus, to make an actual model off of it you'd need to make something 4 Dimensional due to the 4 variables involved.
@@Tacname Yes, but CMYK and RGB shares the same color wheel. And no, you would not need 4 variables, as a printer doesn't ACTUALLY need the K, it just saves a lot of ink, so 3d space works just fine. You can actually very easily visualize what CMYK space would look like, at 0,0,0 it would just be white, and along the line x=y=z (aka C=M=Y), it would get darker, which is kind of the opposite of the RGB space
@@Rich-je9fy I guess my view of what CMYK was is a bit off. Although I did search for what key was for and it's not to save ink, but to get a deeper black since composites of CMY don't achieve it on their own.
Not just the players, Mojang needs to see this :D Especially if they don't have a similar tool for this in-game yet. This could be insanely useful for adding new blocks since all relations can be easily displayed. Here are a few suggestions for the world: - You could replace the entites with real blocks after the transition - You can create mcfunction files in your world folder which can have multiple and longer commands, then you can run them with the function command. This makes the process significantly easier when the commandblocks are not enough so I recommend looking into them.
This is so cool! Your usage of the new display entities makes such a big difference in being able to visually understand how RGB, HSL and HSV relate. The educational potential in this is huge, I could watch those transitions for hours! It's so mesmerising!
I've never really messed with colour spaces or anything outside RGB. Over the years, I've gotten myself accustomed to working with RGB numbers, and while I'm not always super accurate, I have a pretty good sense of what I need to do to get what I want, and never really got the appeal of the other setups. After seeing this though, it makes a lot more sense! Since I'm already super familiar with it I foresee myself sticking with RGB when it's convenient (e.g. when I'm programming something), but in photo editing, HSL seems more appealing now. Thanks for the great showcase, very helpful!
You could keep the animations and make use of the setblock command, when the block arrive at their destination place a new block and when they start to leave replace the space with air
That is super cool! I worked with computer vision for a short while and learned about color spaces back then. To see it move between spaces like this is awesome!
That so far is some neat representation with the movement you got set up! (Wonder if using data packs could make it a bit cleaner and not have the same character limit) Good work on it :D
@@gneissname i think it should be possible to increase the limit using a gamerule, not sure if i remember that correctly and can't check as I'm on mobile.
Amazing stuff! Love it :-) As a webdeveloper, I am glad we're finally going to get color-spaces with consistent contrast ratios for equal shifts in lightness/saturation
I love the way you give players a tool to help them play the game better but your tool also comes with a tutorial that succinctly explains the theory behind it that teaches you a science concept. It is elegant bait and switch scientific education. Fantastic! I use munsel color to describe soils and rocks and I can tell you that this theory is applicable in the field.
This is amazing, so much easier to understand when looking at. Also got me thinking about maps since colors on maps in game are different. I'd love to see one of these made for map art
Thank you for providing downloads! This is a truly fascinating subject, and the amount of effort you put into these videos really shows. I look forward to your future videos, keep up the great work!
Interaction entities may help with the "pick block" thing by having them run a /give command when right clicked. It'd probably complicated things, but it'd be cool from a user perspective.
I think it'd be nice to see the hcw (hue chroma whiteness) system. It's a system that's on the opposite end of hsl from hsv where the ring of saturated hues in on the bottom where black is instead of the top (hsv) or middle (hsl). Then there's hsi (hue saturation intensity) where intensity is the average of the colors. It's like hsl but you don't squish the six middle zig-zag edges of the rgb cube into a hexagon before rounding it. You just round the shape immediately after rotating the rgb cube. Then there's hsy' which is based gamma corrected red green and blue values.
Would it be possible to use the display entities for animations and when they reach their destination to replace them with real blocks? This would of course be limited to displaying only on the minecraft grid but it seems best of both worlds
You ran into the character limit for command blocks? Just use functions! They're stored in a .mcfunction file (basically just a text file) and can easily run multiple commands (even other functions) by just putting "/function :" in a command block!
maybe you could have the entities spawn in , then remove the blocks, do the translation, then place the blocks back at their new positions? theres also the interaction entity but im not sure if those can be the size of a block and give the player items as easy
That color looks more purple than magenta. I took a screenshot to check and I got values of red ranging from 51 to 7d and blue ranging from 8a to d1. The hue ranges from 273 to 276. Magenta should be roughly equal parts red and blue and have a hue of 300.
I think the HSV squares should really be triangles, because the black area near the bottom is effectively all the same color to our eyes. That would make the whole 3d shape a double sided cone, I think
Hey Ben, yeah HSL can be a bicone with a single point for the white and the black. The HSV can be a cone. Technically if you do this you don’t call it saturation it’s called chroma and I don’t really understand the difference.
You could maby make the bigger diagrams with all blocks out of real blocks and keep this smaller animated version to show the difference between different color spaces. And if you are going to use display entitys there is no reson to block align them :)
I didn’t even know you were a Minecraft UA-camr for awhile. I’ve seen a couple of your videos, but it’s never been because of the Minecraft in them, it’s the topics discussed.
Is there a complementary system to HSV where instead the white hues have their own end? If so, why isn’t that sometimes used since screens tend to be able to display a wider range of lighter colors than darker ones?
As you've set it up with the new display entities, are you able to position blocks slightly offset, so that they are more accurate, and also don't overlap? It should help with the z-fighting
Yeah, my actual 1.20 color world release will probably just offset a block by one if it’s overlapping. It will be larger too so it won’t happen as much.
@@gneissname oh no, I'm thinking spawn the block entity halfway between blocks, or quarter of the way, or even an irrational number. They're entities, and therefore don't have to be aligned to the world grid. What do you think?
Yeah I'm not really sure how that got started. Our cone cells are sensitive to blue, green, blue wavelengths so its strange that red yellow and blue got poplar.
How does this change your 'missing colors' video now that you've deformed the color space. Have some of the 'voids' gotten noticeably smaller in this new framing?
It does change them and I might revisit that topic sometime. I think I want to try and make a color space that reflects how the human eye actually sees color. With HSV, HSL, and RGB, a set distance isn’t necessarily the same amount color change in two different locations. I may do it before I get that figured out though because I am genuinely curious just about how different these are.
@@gneissname That'd be cool, definitely feels like the most objective way to do it. If you managed to demonstrate how it all changed for people with colorblindness I think that would be interesting too, something like that would be incredible in your clear presentation style.
Brilliant explanation. But I have to ask, why do you use a command block that summons command block minecarts to execute multiple commands. Would it not be better to instead call a function with the /function command.
Mainly I was stubborn and just kept using what I knew. I didn’t realize how functions worked until I took the time to use them. So much easier now. I switched over and I’m not looking back.
did not expect uni calculus to help me understand how HSL/HSV work, lol I kinda wanna figure out how to represent HSL as a sphere and HSV as a cone or paraboloid now, damn math nerd brain
Is this done by having separate x y and z coordinates for scores that correspond to color values, and having an additional score which changes to the one you want to set it to (so like hsv hsl and rgb) and then just transforming to those coordinates? I'm trying to understand how this works lol
Lets say for one block I know the coordinate where it needs to be for RGB, HSL, and HSV. I summon a block entity with a relative position of 0 0 0, then for each color space I use data merge to apply a translation to that block to get it to the correct position. So for acacia rgb the commands are: /summon minecraft:block_display 0.0 0.0 0.0 {Tags:["acacia_planks"],block_state:{Name:"minecraft:acacia_planks"}} /execute as @e[tag=acacia_planks] run data merge entity @s {transformation:{translation:[66.01f,35.0f,20.0f]},start_interpolation:-1,interpolation_duration:50} This is done for every block.
Teachers should show your videos in schools Also now I wanna try make this in my survival world where I make a giant colour square like photoshop with all the available blocks in the game
Strangely enough it came from geology. We use a color system called Munsell to classify the color of soils. I wanted to try and my that in Minecraft and it turns out it’s basically the HSV color space. I’m probably going to talk about it in more detail another time.

Why did I learn more about colour theory from a Minecraft video than I did in art school
Impressive vids, id put your quality up there with gnembon. Mojang should hire you to show them what colors are and other concepts like a palette.
Super helpful! And loved the animation!
I'm very sorry, I can't hear "color theory" without thinking about that tumblr hospital meme
That's a great video! I also wanna see video about LAB and XYZ.

So minecraft is a very nice visualization tool
Rgb vs hsl and hsv reminds me of cartesian vs cylindrical coordinates, but idk if thats just because of the way you visualized them
