I've made a block that generates in the world. I want to hide it in the top layer of grass, so I textured the top with Blocks.grass.getBlockTextureFromSide(1). This works, but it's a gray texture. How could I fix this?

You need to look at BlockGrass and see how it gets a color and then copy that function.  I think it's getColorMultiplier

I have no idea how to view those classes....

It's amazing what Eclipse can do.  Have you tried hovering your mouse over a class name?  Do that and click the green dot.

I did that and it said a ton of stuff that I couldn't read (I think it was obfuscated). I just googled BlockGrass and I found

"public int getRenderColor(int p_149741_1_)"

do you know what the argument is?

Do you use eclipse and have properly set up forge?

Or you could hold down Ctrl on your keyboard and simply click on the class name. I use that a lot.

That shortcut actually messes me up all the time

Yeah I  did, I spent some time trying to figure out what it meant, and I figured out the "getRenderColor()" function, although I have no idea what it does.

bump, I've made no progress so far... :'(

All you have to do is return the decimal value that has the color hex you want the color to be.  You're trying to mimic grass, so look at what BlockGrass does.  Copy it, paste it.

It's in hex? That makes more sense. Thanks
