Colored Items

This requires ItemsAdder 4.0.13 and Minecraft 1.21.4+ (both client and server).

To create a colored item you have to use a base texture, for example something like the quartz texture: minecraft:item/quartz. You can use any texture you want, in this case I use the quartz texture as it's white and already included in the game files.

Then specify the color attribute in the graphics properties. In this case I use RED.

It accepts the following format:

• RED (Bukkit Color enum)

• #FFFFF (Hexadecimal) (# is optional)

• 13083194 (Decimal)

• 255, 255, 255 (RGB)

info:
  namespace: test
items:
  test_dyeable:
    name: Test Dyeable
    graphics:
      texture: minecraft:item/quartz
      color: RED
      hand_animation_on_swap: true

Chaging color during gameplay

You can change colors using the command /iacolor <color>.

Templates and variants

You can create variants of the base item to make various variants of the same item but with different color.

Mark the base item as template: true then reference it using variant_of: xxx in the other items.

Example

  test_dyeable_template:
    name: Test Dyeable
    template: true
    graphics:
      texture: minecraft:item/quartz
      color: RED
      hand_animation_on_swap: true
  test_dyeable2:
    name: Test Dyeable 2
    variant_of: test_dyeable_template
    graphics:
      color: BLUE
  test_dyeable3:
    name: Test Dyeable 3
    variant_of: test_dyeable_template
    graphics:
      color: "#326da8"
  test_dyeable4:
    name: Test Dyeable 4
    variant_of: test_dyeable_template
