[Solved][1.16.5] Colored Item with block model

[DavidQF555]

I wanted to create a colored Item based on the item's NBT tag data, so I used an IItemColor, which worked well. However, I changed the item's model to that of a block model: 

{
  "parent": "block/cube_all",
  "textures": {
    "all": "modid:item/custom_item"
  }
}

Now, the item is not being colored. How can I color the item model with the NBT tag data? I'm storing DyeColor IDs in the NBT tag to read in the IItemColor instance.

I mean an item that tints the texture under certain conditions like dyed leather armor but I'm trying to use a block model for an item. IItemColor usually works for normal item models but it isn't working for my item with a block model. Is there some solution to this or should I be doing something else?

To be tinted your model face needs to have a tintindex set (not -1, which is the default and means "do not tint"). block/cube_all has no tintindex set for any of its faces - as such your model does not get tinted.

yeah that works, thanks
