Dino Colours
Want a bright pink Rex or a spooky black Raptor? You can paint your own tamed dinos any colour you like — and it’s free! You just look at your dino and type a command in chat.
How to Paint a Dino
Section titled “How to Paint a Dino”Three easy steps:
- Stand near one of your own tamed dinos. Make sure it’s awake (not asleep or knocked out).
- Point the middle of your screen straight at it (like you’re staring right at it).
- Type a colour command in chat — you’ll find them all below.
Your dino changes colour straight away! If nothing happens, look right at your dino and try again.
Paint One Part
Section titled “Paint One Part”/colour <part> <colour>
This paints one part of your dino.
Try this: look at your Rex and type /colour Body 14. Its body turns colour number 14!
Parts you can paint — use the number or the name:
| Number | Part |
|---|---|
| 0 | Body |
| 1 | Face |
| 2 | Side |
| 3 | Legs |
| 4 | Top |
| 5 | Under |
Colours — pick any number from 1 to 100, or 201 to 226. You can see what every colour looks like on the Colour Chart page.
Paint the Whole Dino
Section titled “Paint the Whole Dino”/colour all <colour>
Want your whole dino one colour? This paints every part at once.
Try this: /colour all 14 turns the entire dino colour 14.
Surprise Colours
Section titled “Surprise Colours”/colour random
Not sure what to pick? This gives your dino random colours! Don’t like it? Type it again for a new look, or use /colour reset to change it back.
Ready-Made Themes
Section titled “Ready-Made Themes”/colour preset <name>
Paint your whole dino in a theme with one command:
| Theme | Type this |
|---|---|
| Winter | /colour preset winter |
| Summer | /colour preset summer |
| Halloween | /colour preset halloween |
| Christmas | /colour preset christmas |
Each preset picks a themed mix of colours for the different parts, so every dino comes out on-theme but a little bit different — no two are exactly the same.
Copy a Look
Section titled “Copy a Look”/colour copy and /colour paste
Love the colours on one dino? You can copy them onto another!
- Look at the dino you like and type
/colour copy. - Look at another of your dinos and type
/colour paste.
Now they match! Great for making a whole team the same colours.
Change It Back
Section titled “Change It Back”/colour reset
This puts your dino back to its normal colours — handy if you change your mind.
Need the Commands In-Game?
Section titled “Need the Commands In-Game?”/colours
Forgotten a command? Type /colours in chat and the game shows you the full list of what you can do, with a link to the colour chart.
For Admins
Section titled “For Admins”/colourstatus
Admins can type /colourstatus to check the plugin is working properly. If players see a message that says colouring is turned off after a game update, an admin needs to run this and update the plugin.
Good to Know
Section titled “Good to Know”- Your dino must be awake — you can’t colour one that’s asleep or knocked out (unconscious).
- You can only paint your own dinos — not other people’s tames.
- You have to be looking right at the dino, and be close enough.
- Your colours stay for good — they don’t wash off when you put your dino in a cryopod, when the server restarts, or when you move it to another map.
- It’s free — you don’t need points, tokens or anything to use it.
