Colored Models

Why?

To make a colored element or a colored vehicle you don't have to make a separate model for each item with a different color.

For example a custom colored furniture.

How can I do this?

1. open your model with Blockbench

2. select the face you want to be colored

3. use a white/gray texture, for better coloring

4. enable the hidden "Tint" feature

5. enable the coloring for each face you want to be colored

6. set the specific color attribute in your .yml file.

In this example I used leather_horse_armor but you can also use potion.

  orange_modern_lamp:
    display_name: "Orange Modern Lamp"
    specific_properties:
      leather_horse_armor:
        color: ORANGE
    resource:
      material: LEATHER_HORSE_ARMOR
      generate: false
      model_path: item/template_modern_lamp
