I have been working on updating a crops mod and I made a squash which is similar to melons and pumpkin in the way that it is a stem crop. It works perfectly except my stem is not rendering property. I am not a very good at texturing so I just copied the pumpkin stem textures and and renamed them for my squash plant. They original pumpkin stem textures are gray scale because they change on the biome you are in and the first stage of my squash crop it grows and shows the texture but in gray scale as soon as the squash appears the texture doesn't work.

 

Here is a picture to describe it better.

 

I have tried the blockstates, block models and double checked all the names for the crop

 

I was wondering if there was any reason they aren't working or something extra i have to do because they are gray scale.

You can either color the stem yourself, or leave it grayscale and color it via an IBlockColor implementation.

Okay awesome i'll try that out.
