The armor itself is colored and can be dyed but when the armor is worn the colors don't transfer. I believe I need to make a custom armor renderer. I just don't know how to do that.

Try this in your custom armor class.

@Override

public String getArmorTexture(ItemStack stack, Entity entity, int slot, String type)

{

if(this.armorType==2)

{

return "ARMOR LAYER 1 LOCATION";

}

return "ARMOR LAYER 2 LOCATION";

}

I can get the texture to render. I just can't get it to change colors with the item. Here is my Armor class

 

package haloCraft.armor;

 

import haloCraft.HaloCraft;

I don't think you can have spaces in ResourceLocation names.

No you can its the name of the file. If the file has a space it needs it. The armor gets textured but it can't be dyed like leather. When I dye it the item you hold gets dyed but not the armor texture that gets worn.
