[1.9] How do I add a multi-layer texture to multiple items

[H41V0R]

How do I add a item with multi-layer textures, basically like spawn eggs?

Layers need to be different colors

[Choonster]

If your item model extends

builtin/generated

(either directly or indirectly through a model like

item/generated

), you can simply specify the

layer0

to

layerN

textures (where

N

is some non-negative number) and the model will be generated using those textures.

 

If you register an

IItemColor

for the

Item

, the

tintIndex

argument will be the layer number.

Since I'm such a noob, can you provide an example json file?

 

and, where do I register IItemColor in the class?

Look at pretty much any vanilla item model, e.g. the spawn egg. Almost all of them extend

builtin/generated

.

 

and, where do I register IItemColor in the class?

Use

Minecraft#getBlockColors

/

getItemColors

to get the

BlockColors

/

ItemColors

instances and

BlockColors#registerBlockColorHandler

/

ItemColors#registerItemColorHandler

to register an

IBlockColor

/

IItemColor

.

 

This must be done in the init phase from your client proxy.

 

You can see an example of this here.

In 1.9 it has changed to

item/generated

which includes the default transformations.
