- ✅ **Palette Generation** - Extract usable color palettes from builds
- ✅ **Color Distribution Mapping** - Track usage of specific colors

### 3. **Block Transform Operations**
- ✅ **Material Replacement** - Convert between materials while preserving shapes (oak_stairs → stone_stairs)
- ✅ **Shape Conversion** - Transform between shapes while preserving materials (stone → stone_stairs)
- ✅ **Color-Based Matching** - Find and replace blocks based on color similarity
- ✅ **Custom Transform Functions** - Apply arbitrary transformations with predicates
- ✅ **Property Preservation** - Maintain directional and state properties during transforms

### 4. **API Integration**

- ✅ **Type-Safe Conversions** - Convert between Nucleation and Blockpedia block formats

### 5. **Developer Experience**
- ✅ **Comprehensive Tests** - Created `tests/blockpedia_integration_test.rs` with 6 test cases
- ✅ **Working Example** - Built `examples/blockpedia_showcase.rs` demonstrating features
- ✅ **Documentation** - Created detailed integration guide and usage examples
- ✅ **Feature Detection** - Graceful handling when blockpedia features are disabled

## 🚀 Key Features in Action

### Color Analysis
```rust
let analysis = schematic.analyze_colors()?;
// Returns: coverage %, harmony score, dominant colors, distribution
```

### Material Swapping
```rust
let replacements = schematic.replace_material("oak", "stone")?;
// Converts oak_stairs → stone_stairs, oak_planks → stone, etc.
```

### Shape Transformation
```rust
let conversions = schematic.convert_to_shape("stone", BlockShape::Stairs)?;
// Converts stone → stone_stairs with proper default properties
```

### Color Matching
```rust
let target = ExtendedColorData::from_rgb(125, 125, 125); // Gray
let matches = schematic.replace_with_color_match(target, 25.0)?;
// Finds blocks within 25.0 color distance and replaces them
```

### Custom Transformations
```rust
schematic.replace_blocks_matching(
    |block| block.name.contains("planks"),
    |block| block.with_material("brick")
)?;
```
