Can you apply a large range of colors to a block?

For example, if I had a block that I wanted to vary in hue based on its properties, and that hue could be any combination of the 3 color channels. Blockstates obviously wouldn't be feasible because that would be 255*255*255 conditions you'd need to define models for. I've heard of IBlockColor, but you have to register each color, correct? If so, that wouldn't be feasible either. Is there any other way to do this, with some weird rendering voodoo perhaps? Also, is there a way to do this with items too?

 

EDIT: Did some more searching around and found out about TESR's, and it looks like they can do what I want for blocks. As far as items are concerned, I looked at the code for leather armor and found out that they store the color in NBT's.

I don't believe this is true anymore. With the new vanilla BlockState system. However do not do this.

This is also wrong, I don't know where you heard that. You register a Block to an IBlockColor instance and that instance determines the color for that block, for each BlockState in the World. Use a TIleEntity to store the state of the color.

Don't use a TESR for this. A TESR is for something that has moving parts.

It seems you have already found LeatherArmor, but you can use ItemColors and IItemColor just like you would for BlockColors and IBlockColor.

Ah ok, thanks for clearing up the confusion. IBlockColor and IItemColor are definitely versatile enough for what I want to do.

      updateShape functionality deep dive

      By Sandermall · Posted

      Hello all. I'm currently grappling with the updateShape method in a custom class extending Block.  My code currently looks like this: The conditionals in CheckState are there to switch blockstate properties, which is working fine, as it functions correctly every time in getStateForPlacement.  The problem I'm running into is that when I update a state, the blocks seem to call CheckState with the position of the block which was changed updated last.  If I build a wall I can see the same change propagate across. My question thus is this: is updateShape sending its return to the neighbouring block?  Is each block not independently executing the updateShape method, thus inserting its own current position?  The first statement appears to be true, and the second false (each block is not independently executing the method). I have tried to fix this by saving the block's own position to a variable myPos at inception, and then feeding this in as CheckState(myPos) but this causes a worse outcome, where all blocks take the update of the first modified block, rather than just their neighbour.  This raises more questions than it answers, obviously: how is a different instance's variable propagating here?  I also tried changing it so that CheckState did not take a BlockPos, but had myPos built into the body - same problem. I have previously looked at neighbourUpdate and onNeighbourUpdate, but could not find a way to get this to work at all.  One post on here about updatePostPlacement and other methods has proven itself long superceded.  All other sources on the net seem to be out of date. Many thanks in advance for any help you might offer me, it's been several days now of trying to get this work and several weeks of generally trying to get round this roadblock.  - Sandermall
