# Paintballs

<Row gap="-8">
  <ItemImage id="white_paint_ball" scale="4" />

  <ItemImage id="orange_paint_ball" scale="4" />

  <ItemImage id="blue_paint_ball" scale="4" />

</Row>

Paintballs are used in a <ItemLink id="color_applicator" /> in order to paint colorable blocks like [cables](cables.md),
wool, terracotta, glass, and concrete. They can also be used in a <ItemLink id="matter_cannon" /> to shoot little splotches of paint.

# Lumen Paintballs

<Row gap="-8">
  <ItemImage id="white_lumen_paint_ball" scale="4" />

  <ItemImage id="orange_lumen_paint_ball" scale="4" />

  <ItemImage id="green_lumen_paint_ball" scale="4" />

  <ItemImage id="blue_lumen_paint_ball" scale="4" />

  <ItemImage id="red_lumen_paint_ball" scale="4" />
</Row>

They act identically to regular paintballs but the splotches emit light when shot out of a <ItemLink id="matter_cannon" />.
Useful as a sort of flaregun I guess.
