I'm working on a mod, the Megaman Armor Mod, and I can't seem to add customcolors to modded items. It works if I make the item froma vanilla type that is already colored, but when making my own custom item it just stays gray. "IdyeablearmorItem" doesn't seem to do anything when implemented and "getColor" doesn't help either. Do I need to register them or something to have these properties? I wanted something with multiple layers like a spawn egg, but I will take only one dye color if that's all I can do. My code is free to do whatever with on github if anyone wants to take a look at it: GitHub - Collecter128/MegamanArmorMod: This is a mod adding megaman things to Minecraft

hmmmm... I have a lot more to learn about programming. Got it. Update the mod... um... I think I understand maybe? So I use this new ColorHandlerEvent.Item class to to register the Custom Item Colors? I'm gonna try some things out. Thanks for the direction in which to look, but I may be back if I need help with how this works.

Sorry, I'm back. Updating to 1.16.5 may take a while but I started it. I tried to get this working in 1.16.4 to see if I could understand what to do but I don't know how to use your information. I assume I need a new class that extends ItemColors and that I have to somehow use  ColorHandlerEvent.Item. Am I warm or cold on how this works?

it's a interface so you need to implements it, but basically yes

it's an Event you need to subscribe to it, then you be able to call ColorHandlerEvent.Item#getItemColors and then ItemColors#register to register your IItemColor implementation
you can take a look at ItemColors.createDefault to look at the vanilla implementations

... I'm sorry but I don't get it. I really want to learn but I don't think I know what I'm doing.

CustomItemColors and CustomItemColors2 are my attempts at making this thing work but  I have been getting errors trying to implement things. 

why are you extending ItemColors, you should implements IItemColor,
also do never use @OnlyIn it's for vanilla only

OH I misread something. I didn't see the I at the beginning of Item Colors. I got an error when I tried ti implements ItemColors without realizing they were two different things.I feel like a dummy now. I'll change it.
