1.20.4 Textures under grass overlay rendering in black

[Jagm_11]

I'm trying to create a block that looks exactly like the grass block. It is using the vanilla grass block model and I registered a block color thing to tint the overlay which works fine, but the texture beneath the overlay is rendering black for some reason. Any ideas what I'm missing? It currently looks like this.

Posting an image is not a bug report/help request.

You need to put something on github that reproduces the problem, so we can see everything in context.

 

Guess (I shouldn't have to guess):

You haven't changed the render type to be "cutout" like the vanilla grass block.

This is needed when the model has multiple layers drawn over each other. Otherwise it will treat what should be transparent pixels as black.

Forge makes this easy by letting you specify it in your block model, e.g.

Your guess was correct, thanks!
