Toolbar change for minimap artists

I was making a greyscale for the current blocks (I saw new ones from my absence), it was fiddly and the colours were counter-intuitive as some blocks looked lighter but have a darker minimap colour.

I suggest an option to be able to show blocks as their minimap colour - on hover it could show what the block it actually is (if the block is non solid it may be useful to know at the time of building), it would also change the appearance of the blocks in the world to show their minimap colour.

I also made the robin in the map, would have taken half the time if I could identify suitable oranges and browns from the toolbar.

Re: Toolbar change for minimap artists

I feel like I made a suggestion like this a long time ago named "artist mode" but I probably deleted it for some reason.

Re: Toolbar change for minimap artists

maybe a button on the block bar next to tabs buttons that would replace block sprites with their respective minimap colors?

Re: Toolbar change for minimap artists

Cool idea. Thanks to it I've found few issues with minimap colors when we were moving them all to unity
