I have a a tile entity called mimic block.  It mimics other blocks textures from it's state, and it seemed to be working great until I tried it on grass.  It gives me a strange texture.

 

The strange texture I'm getting

Any ideas as to what would cause that?

That's the actual grass texture, but

BlockGrass

overrides

getBlockColor

,

getRenderColor

and

colorMultiplier

to colour it depending on the position in the world. You should override these methods in

MimicBlock

to call the corresponding methods of the mimicked

Block

.

Thanks a bunch!  I copied this over from the grass block and I've tested it and it seems to work.

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public int getBlockColor(){
	return ColorizerGrass.getGrassColor(0.5D, 1.0D);
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public int getRenderColor(IBlockState state){
	return this.getBlockColor();
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public int colorMultiplier(IBlockAccess worldIn, BlockPos pos, int renderPass)
    {
        return BiomeColorHelper.getGrassColorAtPos(worldIn, pos);
    }

 

out of curiosity, would you know whether or not I should copy the block's Model In my TileEntity?

Note, that you can't jusy copy these methods from grass block, otherwise all mimiced blocks will be recolored... And you will get green planks...

Thanks for telling me that.  I had a feeling, but wasn't sure.  However, I did test the wood and it comes out fine, but then I tested tall grass and redstone.  The tall grass was gray and the redstone was green:p

 

So I looked at the code from both classes and came up with something that seemed to have worked.

 

It takes the only blocks that actually use this color coding stuff, or atleast the ones I currently know about... So I will be patching it as I see others that need it

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public int getRenderColor(IBlockState state){
	if(state == Blocks.redstone_wire.getDefaultState()){//This will make the mimiced redstone line look like it's off (red)
		float f1 = 0.3F;
		float f2 = 0.0F;
		float f3 = 0.0F;

		int j = MathHelper.clamp_int((int)(f1 * 255.0F), 0, 255);
        int k = MathHelper.clamp_int((int)(f2 * 255.0F), 0, 255);
        int l = MathHelper.clamp_int((int)(f3 * 255.0F), 0, 255);
        return -16777216 | j << 16 | k << 8 | l;
	}

	return this.getBlockColor();
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public int colorMultiplier(IBlockAccess worldIn, BlockPos pos, int renderPass)
    {
	TileEntity tile_entity;
	IBlockState state = worldIn.getBlockState(pos);
	if(worldIn.getTileEntity(pos) instanceof TileEntityMimicBlock){
		tile_entity = (TileEntityMimicBlock)worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);
		state = ((TileEntityMimicBlock) tile_entity).getState();
		if(state == Blocks.grass.getDefaultState() || state.getBlock() == Blocks.tallgrass)
			return BiomeColorHelper.getGrassColorAtPos(worldIn, pos);
		return getRenderColor(state);
	}
	return getRenderColor(state);
    }

I would still recomend you to use mimicedBlock.colorMultiplier instead, because you already missed some customly colored blocks: leaves, vines, grass block, double tall grass block, flowers...
