Override

Item#getColorFromItemStack

.

 

If your model inherits from

builtin/generated

, the

renderPass

argument of this method is the texture index (i.e. the

layer0

texture is

renderPass

0).

 

If your model inherits from a different model or manually specifies its elements, the

renderPass

argument is the

tintindex

property of an element's face (look at assets/minecraft/models/block/grass.json to see how it specifies the

tintindex

property for the face that uses a greyscale texture).

OK I've got the getColorFromItemStack working. I'm just failing at adding layers. is there ant more help you can give with that

Create a model that inherits from

builtin/generated

and set the

layerN

textures (where

N

is an integer >= 0).

 

Look at assets/minecraft/models/item/spawn_egg.json to see how vanilla uses two layers for the spawn egg model.

thanks I was doing it right, I just did not add a Comma after each layer works fine now

only one more thing is there a way to change a layer without making a new .json one of my other mods uses the same way to add more than 1,822,030,560 sword and I don't want to make a .json file for each one

Use

ISmartItemModel

to generate models on demand. I can't help you with it much myself, but it's been discussed before on this site and others. You can also look at Forge's implementation of it in

ModelDynBucket

.

OK thanks at lest that's a place to start. thanks for all your help, I was just about to throw in the towel before
