Hello,

I have been working on a mod for a bit now and i have tried to create a custom block that chagned color based on biome.  I have gotten the overlay to work but i can't find a way to change the color.

 

Here is what i have so far:

 

 

Block Class:

package com.drok.buildersdream.blocks;

import com.drok.buildersdream.Ref;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.util.BlockRenderLayer;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

public class BlockMossyStone extends Block {

public BlockMossyStone() {
	super(Material.ROCK);
	this.setUnlocalizedName(Ref.ModBlocks.MOSSYSTONE.getUnlocalizedName());
	this.setRegistryName(Ref.ModBlocks.MOSSYSTONE.getRegistryName());
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public BlockRenderLayer getBlockLayer()
    {
        return BlockRenderLayer.CUTOUT_MIPPED;
    }
}

If anyone can pointme in the right dirrection that would be great!

You need to register an

IBlockColor

and

IItemColor

for the

Block

and

Item

from your client proxy in init.

 

Look at the

BlockColors

/

ItemColors

classes to see how vanilla does this.

I added this to my Init Method but it doesnt seem to work.  What am i doing wrong?

 

final BlockColors blockcolors = new BlockColors();
    	blockcolors.registerBlockColorHandler(new IBlockColor()
        {
            public int colorMultiplier(IBlockState state, @Nullable IBlockAccess worldIn, @Nullable BlockPos pos, int tintIndex)
            {
                return worldIn != null && pos != null ? BiomeColorHelper.getGrassColorAtPos(worldIn, pos) : ColorizerGrass.getGrassColor(0.5D, 1.0D);
            }
        }, new Block[] {ModBlocks.mossyStone});

Don't create your own instance of

BlockColors

, it's a singleton. Minecraft will only use its own instance, stored in the

Minecraft#blockColors

field.

Thanks that was the issue.
