Using tintindex?

[Big_Bad_E]

So, I looked around, but could only find this used in models and not in code. I am trying to make an item change shade of blue depending on the NBT data. I don't know what this method/its variables do:

@Override
	public int colorMultiplier(ItemStack stack, int tintIndex) {
		return null;
	}

The return null is temporary. Also how do I change the color of the ItemStack?

This is ment to be similar to leather armor but changing the shade whenever I want.

The tintIndex is the tint index, supplied by the model JSON

The ItemStack is the item stack which will contain your NBT data

The return value is the color multiplier represented as an integer (e.g. 0x0000FF for blue).

Can i return a decimal value? is that possible or not? I get the tint index and item stack but can I use decimal color values? e.g. 255 for blue

The values are the same.

But you need to use the bitshifting if you want to handle it that way.
