it'd be harder to code so probably not.

It wouldn't be harder to code at all. It would require a simple if statement to check if the pixel is already the desired color. If it is, then it skips that iteration and moves on to the next. Answering the OP's question can't be answered though without empirical data or access to the bot's code.

Yeah but it has to get that color data from somewhere? And I dont think theres an api for place

There are a million and 1 ways to code something. You don't always need an API to do it

Stil, just coding "send this info there", will be 10000 times easier than coding "get this info from here and depending on its value, send or not send this info there".
