Edit: For those who have the same problem, I used

 

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getBlockColors().registerBlockColorHandler((state, access, pos, tintIndex) -> BiomeColorHelper.getFoliageColorAtPos(access, pos), myCustomBlockInstance);

I'm trying to make a block that is visually identical to leaves. I got it working well (including fast/fancy graphics) except for colorization based on biome; my block is completely gray both in my inventory and in the world. I know that I can customize color in 1.8 with getRenderColor and/or colorMultiplier, but those methods don't appear to work at all in 1.9. I've looked around in the source a bit, but I can't find anywhere that vanilla leaves are colorized, so I have no idea how to even start colorizing my leaves.

 

Currently my leaf block is a subclass of BlockLeaves, and its blockstate json points to the oak_leaves model. If you want to look at my code (which you shouldn't need to), it's on Github here.

 

So, how can I colorize my leaves?

Override

getColorMultiplier

if I am remembering the method name correctly.  Look at the Leaves class for it.

1.9 moved block/item colouration to separate interfaces:

IBlockColor

and

IItemColor

. You need to create implementations of these and register them with the

BlockColors

/

ItemColors

instances (which you can obtain from

Minecraft

in the init phase).

 

For examples, look at

BlockColors

/

ItemColors

or my mod (

ModColourManager.registerColourHandlers

is called from the client proxy in init).

Override

getColorMultiplier

 

As I mentioned above, those don't work in 1.9

Okay, thanks; I'll try that out!

 

Edit: Thanks, that worked perfectly!

Sorry for the necro. Just wanted to mention Choonster is next level badass. I am using his 1.9 updated tutorial mod as example. Im a newb but I m making headway slowly . There is so much undocumented stuff. Anyway thanks for all the help thus far.
