I've been doing some research into how to get items to have colors and to be dyeable - like leather armor (though I'm not making armor, just an item). I've discovered ItemColors, but my attempts to register a handler don't appear to be working, so I've got some questions:

• When should I register the color? preinit? init? Is there a registry event for it?
• How do I format the texture to get the color to apply, and are there any properties I need to add to the item class? I know that it will only affect layer0, but is there anything else I need to know?

 

Thanks for any help provided!

 

Registering like so at the moment (mod is in pre-testing phase; will be moved to proxy eventually, don't worry):

    @Mod.EventHandler
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void onPreInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent ev) {
        Minecraft.getMinecraft().getItemColors().registerItemColorHandler((stack, tintIndex) -> {
            return Color.BLUE.getRGB();
        }, BagItems.arcaneBag, BagItems.infiniteBag);
    }

Ignore everything I just said... I included the listener in the item file, not the mod file (they have very similar names...)...
