Hello, I have created a custom grass block and want it to be coloured like the normal one. How can I implement this? Currently I just have a normal block which uses the grass texture and thefor like exspected is gray.

Firstly your model for the block must use the tintindex and set it to non-negative value. You'll see in the grass.json that the tintindex is set to 0. Next you need to create a class the implements IBlockColor. In that class you'll implement a method for the color multiplier (you can base this on biome, but can also use other things). Lastly you'll need to register blocks to your IBlockColor class in your ClientProxy's init loading handling method using Minecraft.getMinecraft().getBlockColors().registerBlockColorHandler() method.

 

I have an example of my IBlockColor implementation: https://github.com/jabelar/ExampleMod-1.12/blob/master/src/main/java/com/blogspot/jabelarminecraft/examplemod/init/ModBlockColors.java

 

 

Got it working with:

return worldIn.getBiome(pos).getGrassColorAtPos(pos);

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

 

EDIT: It doesn't seem to work for the itemblock in the inventory, how can I fix this?

You need to register the item for having a color tint as well.

How? The register methoud only accepts blocks.

You need to create an IItemColor implementation that gets the colour from BlockColors and then register that with ItemColors. You can see an example of this here.

Thanks everyone for you're help. It's now all working. One last quick question, is there any forge hook/event for grass spreading or is that still hardcoded like it is in the default BlockGrass class?
