I've been trying to replicate Leather armors ability to color itself but use my own textures and colors but the armor is always white.

 

package com.ashindigo.alloycraft.items;

import java.awt.Color;
import java.util.List;

import com.ashindigo.alloycraft.AlloycraftMain;
import com.ashindigo.utils.UtilsArmor;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.inventory.EntityEquipmentSlot;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemArmor;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.FMLCommonHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side;

// TODO Add wearing color
public class AlloyArmor extends ItemArmor {

public AlloyArmor(String name, ArmorMaterial material, EntityEquipmentSlot type, String modid) {
    super(ItemArmor.ArmorMaterial.LEATHER, 0, type);
	setCreativeTab(AlloycraftMain.alloycrafttab);
	GameRegistry.register(this, new ResourceLocation(modid, name));
	maxStackSize = 1;
    this.setUnlocalizedName(modid + "_" + name);
}

@Override
public void onCreated(ItemStack stack, World world, EntityPlayer player) {
       // stack.getTagCompound().getInteger("Strength"), stack.getTagCompound().getInteger("Durability"), stack.getTagCompound().getInteger("Enchantability")
	((ItemArmor) stack.getItem()).setColor(stack, 0x000000);    
	System.out.println(this.getColor(stack));
	if (stack.getTagCompound() == null) {
			stack.setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());
			stack.getTagCompound().setInteger("Durability", 0);
			stack.getTagCompound().setInteger("Enchantability", 0);
			stack.getTagCompound().setInteger("Strength", 0);
        }
}
public void addInformation(ItemStack itemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List, boolean par4)
    {
	if (itemStack.getTagCompound() != null) {
	par3List.add("§4Strength: §7" + Integer.toString(itemStack.getTagCompound().getInteger("Strength")));
	par3List.add("§2Durability: §7" + Integer.toString(itemStack.getTagCompound().getInteger("Durability")));
	par3List.add("§1Enchantability: §7" + Integer.toString(itemStack.getTagCompound().getInteger("Enchantability")));
	}
}

@Override
public String getArmorTexture(ItemStack stack, Entity entity, EntityEquipmentSlot slot, String type) {
    return "textures/models/armor/" + "leather_layer" + "_" + (armorType.getSlotIndex() == 2 ? "2" : "1") + ".png";
}
}

 

(I know I have my texture set to leather but thats just for LayerArmorBase#renderArmorLayer to work until I get actual textures.)

Bump? I don't know if I need a custom renderer for this...
