From my podcast with Pepe earlier this week, Iād have to say itās probably a magic solution to the builderās problem of not having a palette of presents to procedurally generate new worldā¦ ā¦hence the Magic Palette???
@Pepe How did I do

Wow, so many new comments! Your support and engagement mean the world to us. Weāre halfway through the voting period and have one week left to reach the quorum! We truly appreciate your votes and for sharing our vision of bringing new and exciting content to The Sandbox with Magic Palette.
If youāre interested in joining AMAs and following the development of Magic Palette, be sure to follow us on X. Recently, SĆ©bastien Borget joined me to talk about the DAO and SIP-6 | Magic Palette. You can find the recording of this AMA in this tweet: x.com
@HighsGaminghUB Thanks for your vote and looking forward to finding out what projects like Battle Pugs will create with Magic Palette!
@AAA Thanks for your support. If the SIP gets passed we will be able to offer Magic Palette with all its core features as a free web app available for everyone.
@gamaccho We too, hehe. This is why we developed it. We canāt wait to see what you will create with it!
@empirical Thanks for your great thoughts. It is indeed our aim to help activate as many dormant LANDs with the help of Magic Palette. Procedural level generation and UGC has huge potential here we think. We also agree it needs more than just level design to make a fun game or hub. We see Magic Palette as a bridge and enabler to kickstart many new projects in tandem with the TSB native tools Game Maker or VoxEdit.
@Reizalyn Really nice of you to drop by and let us know that you like our approach. I think for talented Voxel artists like you it will be a gateway to create not only amazing assets but also astonishing levels in voxels now.
@PurpleLioness Haha this made my day, thanks so much and yes we think things need to tickle in first with many creators that there will be a vast amount of new options with Magic Palette. Thanks
@DaruthTheHuman We canāt agree more. We certainly will add more documentation for the Beta launch and will try to guide the new users with tutorials and workflow shorts. As stated in our SIP this is a milestone for Phase II.
@sebga Thanks a lot for your great feedback and vote! The naming comes from the core premise of Magic Palette turning colored voxels into blocks and this is happening through working with palettes. But you have some valid points as it can be also associated more with painting and similar fields.
@Lanzer Haha you did splendid! Itās the better answer than mine.
Thanks for sharing our stream on the SIP process. If anybody wants to hear the two of us giving guidance on outlining a solid SIP based on the provided template by The Sandbox DAO, be sure to give it a peek.
@gaenam I think we certainly shared many ideas - Adventure Awaits!

Hello, some update for the SIP Implementation:
Implementation Phase 1: Completed 
- Improve the voxel parser for seamless model transitions from MagicaVoxel and VoxEdit to Magic Palette: itās upgraded and can now automatically slice any .vox file up to 192x192x128 voxels into LAND files compatible with TSB Game Maker. Based on the voxel model size, it generates 1x1, 2x1, or 2x2 LANDs. Magic Palette can load .vox files created in both MagicVoxel and VoxEdit.
- Upgrade the dungeon generator set with over 60 possible rooms and structures: it now includes 64 custom tiles used to procedurally generate levels. This results in endless possibilities based on user settings like level height, structure density, room sizes, and landscape design.
- Develop a secondary landscape generator integrated into the dungeon creator: implementation of a noise-based height map layer that can be toggled on or off during dungeon generation. This allows for not only flat terrain but also a natural-looking landscape where the dungeon structures are embedded.
- Add the first 10 pre-fab styles for easy theme switching of a generated dungeon: the following themes give users the option to swap dungeon styles with one click: Ancient Egypt, Arctic Ice, Cyber Purple, Dark Temple, Deep Sea, Red Brick, Smoldering Ash, Valentine, White Stone, and Wooden Fort.

Hello, a new update for this SIP to inform that Phase 2 is validated
Develop a voxel slicer to enable direct Multi-LAND import from .vox files
- Magic Palette is able to open .vox files as big as 3x3 lands made with multiple models, and export functional .lpk files that can be loaded in the GM
Establish a database featuring over 1200 high-quality BLOCKs available for free use
- The current available library is above 1300 blocks (not counting TSB blocks) and growing.
Enhance the search and filtering capabilities in the BLOCK library
- It is possible to search filters by Name and keywords
- Magic Palette now lets you import specific libraries for faster loading times and focused work.
Write a knowledge base and set up a product support channel for the app
- The Magic Palette User Guide is available.
- The support channel is available in the Sand Rush Discord Server
Initial testing phase with The Sandbox Level Design Team
- There has been ongoing collaboration with the Sand Rush team. Feedback from The Sandbox side including the Level design team is documented and tracked. The SR team has been improving Magic Palette based in the feedback.

Dear Sandfam and The Sandbox DAO Community,
Weāre super excited to have this thread here re-opened and to share our latest updates about Magic Paletteās development journey! First and foremost, we want to give a shout-out to the incredible buildersā community, whose enthusiasm and feedback have been instrumental in shaping this tool. Special thanks to the TSB Art and Level Design Teams for their invaluable testing of the MVP during the early development stages, and to the DAO team for their exceptional guidance throughout the entire SIP process from draft to final delivery.
Weāre proud to announce that weāve successfully completed all milestones for SIP-6!
Phase 3 we fulfilled back in December and now have finalized Phase 4. Hereās a detailed breakdown of some of our achievements and features we shipped:
- Phase 3 Milestones:
Live Map Testing Mode: Weāve successfully implemented an in-app testing environment with avatar camera functionality, allowing creators to preview their level design in real-time directly within Magic Palette and in their web browser.
Automated BLOCK Assignment System: The new color-based automation system now intelligently assigns BLOCKs based on median voxel model HEX colors, streamlining the creation process significantly.
Custom Palette Management: Creators can now save and load custom palette files to maintain consistent styles across projects, complete with undo/redo functionality for a smoother workflow.
Beta Web App Release: Weāve launched the Beta version of Magic Palette as a web application, making it accessible to everyone with limited export capabilities.
- Phase 4 Milestones:
Custom BLOCK Support: Weāve developed and implemented robust functionality for loading and utilizing custom BLOCKs, expanding creative possibilities.
LAND Data Transfer System: A data transfer system between Magic Palette and Game Maker has been established, ensuring smooth workflow integration.
Official Launch: Magic Palette has been successfully launched to the builders and creatorsā community, marking a significant milestone in our journey.
MAP Builders Contest: Weāve announced the first Magic Palette Builders contest to encourage hands-on exploration of the toolās capabilities. Find the details about the contest here: x.com
This is just scratching the surface and we have already added many other powerful features like direct a Minecraft level data import and additional export formats that expand the possibilities for builders working with Magic Palette tremendously.
Weāre deeply grateful for the overwhelming support and enthusiasm from the Sandfam community throughout this development journey. This is just the beginning ā Magic Palette is evolving rapidly, and weāre already working on exciting new features! Soon, weāll be introducing an integrated community platform where creators, builders, and LAND owners can share their MAPs and BLOCKs, along with powerful new tools for the app to enhance the level design process in The Sandbox.
In case you didnāt have the chance to test Magic Palette yourself - Itās about time to get to know your new creative companion to streamline your workflow and amplify your creative potential. Jump in and start creating ā we canāt wait to see what youāll build! https://magicpalette.io/
Stay tuned for more updates - Adventure Awaits!

Thanks a lot @Lanzer for your kind words and the early support on our SIP! We couldnāt do it without you and all the dedicated community members.
Since this thread is on slow mode I wanted to add this sort of testimonial to all out there pushing voxels and blocks daily with Magic Palette, we wanted to share this here with you all. Look at these amazing creations from our builderās community! This is just a glimpse of whatās possible with Magic Palette. Weāre blown away by your creativity every day.
Letās keep building Sandfam!
