Palettes
Ten complete looks, each a full recolor of Cultivation's menus, HUD and skill tree. Eight are yours the moment you install the add-on; two you have to earn.
The eight you choose
Jade Slip groups its buyable palettes into the same two captioned sections the picker shows them under:
Sect Halls — Frost Peak · Verdant Hall · Starfall Peak · Jade Dawn
Paths — Bloodmoon · Golden Court · Ink Wash · Lantern Court
The first five — Frost Peak, Verdant Hall, Bloodmoon, Golden Court and Ink Wash — are the original set. Starfall Peak, Jade Dawn and Lantern Court followed later, and each has its own Codex lore entry describing what wearing it is said to say about a cultivator.
The two you earn: Champion Looks
A third, Champions section of the picker holds two more looks that installing Jade Slip does not, by itself, unlock:
| Look | Earned by |
|---|---|
| Victor's Laurel | Being recorded as a season champion on any of Cultivation's four Hall of Fame boards — Path War, Cultivation, Dao Mastery, or Sects. |
| Starlit Destiny | Holding the Child of Destiny title, a once-a-season honor from the Sacred Bodies add-on. Jade Slip works fine without Sacred Bodies installed; this look simply never unlocks. |
Both looks stay yours once earned. The check reads a persisted Hall of Fame / Sacred Bodies record, not "are you the reigning champion right now" — so a look marks having worn the crown, not currently wearing it, and the next season's champion does not take it back from you. Both come with a matching sect hall banner (see Auras, Banners & Titles) and a matching cosmetic title.
A server owner can turn the whole pair off with Champion-Looks-Enabled in the admin menu — it hides both looks and both banners from everyone, live, with no restart. If Palettes-Require-Permission is also on, a Champion Look additionally needs its own node (jadeslip.palette.laurel, jadeslip.palette.destiny) on top of having actually earned it — the earned check and the permission check both have to pass.
Sect House Look
A sect leader can hang one of the ten looks above over the whole hall with /jadeslip house <palette> — every member who has never picked a theme of their own (menus, HUD, aura, all of it) is drawn in the leader's choice instead of the stock look. A member who already chose their own palette keeps it untouched, and a member who lacks the permission or the earned status for the leader's chosen look simply stays on the plain one, silently.
Anyone can opt out of ever being drawn in a house look with the new None row in Cultivation's Settings theme dropdown, without undoing what the leader set for everyone else. /jadeslip house show reports what is hung, who set it and when, and how many members currently cannot see it; /jadeslip house clear (leader only) takes it down again. Taking the look down never lowers the hall's banner — that is a separate sect setting the leader may have curated since, and this add-on does not undo a decision it did not make.
Server owners can turn the whole feature off with House-Look-Enabled, and control whether hanging a look also raises its matching banner with House-Look-Sets-Banner — see For Server Owners for both.
What "themes every menu" covers
Each palette is a complete set of 139 recolored .ui documents — every page, every card, the HUD, the admin menu, and the skill tree's nine branch halos, which are the fiddliest part of a palette and the one most likely to be skipped. Nothing is half-themed: a palette that recolored four of the nine halos and left five in Cultivation's own crimson would read as a bug rather than a look, so Jade Slip's palettes set all nine or none.
That document count has grown release over release — 61 at launch, 77 once Cultivation's v0.8.0 and v0.9.0 pages were folded in, 106 later, 115 once the Merit menu and the Pagoda were added, 135 as of v0.3.1, and 139 in the Cultivation v0.11.0 source tree the current build (v0.4.0) sits beside. The v0.3.1 build folded in Cultivation v0.10.3's Talisman Drawing, Weiqi, the Transmission Array, the faction vendor, the Progression Compass's Newly Opened rows, and the admin Inspect & Restore and backup tabs. Each palette is regenerated from Cultivation's own source tree, so a page the base mod adds gets a themed variant the next time Jade Slip is regenerated against it — not automatically the moment Cultivation ships.
Add-on pages get themed too
The document set isn't limited to pages Cultivation itself ships. It also covers pages belonging to other add-ons the palette generator has been run against — currently SoulRings and the Classes add-on. A server running either alongside Jade Slip gets those pages drawn in your chosen palette rather than left in the base look while everything around them changes color.
An add-on the generator hasn't been pointed at yet simply keeps its own default look under any palette — resolving to a document that doesn't exist would fail the entire UI load on the client, not just the untracked page, so Jade Slip only ever redirects a document it has an explicit, generated variant for.
Choosing one
Palettes are selected from the theme dropdown in Cultivation's Settings page, the same list every installed look from any mod appears on. Jade Slip shipped its own separate Palettes page through v0.1.1; it was removed in v0.1.2 once that shared dropdown existed, because a second tab for one mod's looks was always the lesser answer once a single list could hold everyone's.
Your saved choice carries over untouched between Jade Slip versions, and you can change it whenever you like. If Jade Slip is later removed from a server, a palette you had chosen keeps its id stored — Cultivation saves the id, never the palette itself — and resolves to its own default the moment nothing claims that id; the choice returns intact if Jade Slip comes back.
Gating a palette behind a permission
By default every buyable palette is everyone's — installing Jade Slip is the whole purchase, and no look is held back. An owner who would rather hand palettes out individually, as a rank reward rather than a blanket unlock, turns on Palettes-Require-Permission in the config or Cultivation's admin menu. Once it's on, each palette needs its own jadeslip.palette.<id> node — jadeslip.palette.frost, jadeslip.palette.starfall, and so on for all ten, Champion Looks included (jadeslip.palette.laurel, jadeslip.palette.destiny) — though for those two the earned check still has to pass as well; the permission alone does not hand you a crown you have not taken.
The gate gates choosing, not keeping. A player who picked a look before the toggle went on keeps wearing it, and the check is only asked again the next time a menu is opened or a new palette is picked — so turning the toggle on before handing looks out is what makes it bind from the start. See For Server Owners for the full config reference and exactly which settings take effect immediately versus on the next restart.
