Free palette comparison tool

Minecraft Locator Bar Color Checker

Compare 2–10 player or waypoint colors, flag duplicates and similar shades, and find a clearer alternative for a busy multiplayer HUD.

Check one or more player colors

Start with one player. Add more only when you want to check whether their Locator Bar colors are easy to distinguish.

Advanced: add a custom Hex color

Use this for a waypoint, team override, or any color you already know. Player usernames and UUIDs belong in the main field above.

    How it works

    From input to useful result

    1. 01

      Check one player

      Enter a Java Edition username or UUID to calculate and add that player's automatic Locator Bar color.

    2. 02

      Add players when needed

      Check another username or UUID to build a group, or open Advanced when you already have a custom Hex value.

    3. 03

      Review automatic conflicts

      With two or more entries, the checker flags duplicate and similar colors and can suggest a clearer option.

    What does the Minecraft Locator Bar Color Checker check?

    Use the checker for one Java username or UUID when you simply want to check that player's automatic Locator Bar color. The first result includes the Hex value and a shareable color name.

    Add another player only when you want the Minecraft Locator Bar Color Checker to evaluate whether their markers may be difficult to tell apart.

    Player colors are calculated from UUIDs. Known waypoint, team, or override colors remain available through the Advanced custom Hex input.

    A practical signal, not an accessibility certification

    The comparison uses distance in the CIE Lab color space because it better approximates perceived color differences than raw RGB values. The threshold is a practical HUD-design aid rather than an official Minecraft rule.

    Screen settings, resource packs, surrounding colors, vision differences, and marker size still affect the final experience. Always check important palettes in the game itself.

    FAQ

    Before you use the result

    Short answers about what this tool does, what it cannot see, and what to verify in Minecraft.

    Can I use the Minecraft Locator Bar Color Checker for one player?

    Yes. Enter one Java username or UUID to check that player's automatic color. Adding more players is optional and enables duplicate and similarity checks.

    How many Locator Bar colors can I compare?

    You can compare between two and ten colors in one working set.

    What does “hard to distinguish” mean?

    It means the pair falls below this tool's practical perceptual-distance threshold. It is a warning to test the pair, not a universal pass or fail.

    Does the checker change colors in Minecraft?

    No. It only analyzes values in your browser. Send a suggestion to the Generator to build a command you can review and run separately.
