Item Model using Potion Overlay

[pallid stream]

Been racking my brain over how to use a _overlay variant for when the item_model is used for a potion.

I've tried renaming the model to potion, using layers, emissive layers, but it's doesn't seem to change based on the potions colour
Is there ANY way that this is possible when using item_models?

Literally all I want is 6 pixels to change colour matching the potions contents

FAQ

Java: Tint

Tint is an option on Minecraft: Java Edition, which tells the game to tint certain faces of a model depending on the (hardcoded) assigned color map of the item/block. For example, leaves and grass get a color depending on the biome the block is placed in, leather armor gets a color depending on the color applied to it etc. Tinting can only be applied to items and blocks that support tinting. See https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Color for a full list.

How to enable tint on multiple faces in Blockbench:

I've just enabled that but nothing seems to have changed?

If you use an item_model component you might need to specify it like this in the item definition file:

{
  "model": {
    "type": "model",
    "model": "...",
    "tint": {
      "type": "minecraft:potion",
      "default": "[0, 1, 0]"
    }
  }
}```

at least assuming you want it colored based on the potion_contents component

Added that too and it's the exact same, is there a certain colour I have to use?

{
  "model": {
    "type": "minecraft:model",
    "model": "template:item/beer",
    "tint": {
      "type": "minecraft:potion",
      "default": "[0, 1, 0]"
    }
  }
}    

Does my overlay png have to be named beer_overlay or potion_overlay?

[past nebula]

the tinted part doesn't even need to be its own texture in theory

so the name of hte texture does not matter

the only thing determining whether something gets tinted by a respective color or not is whether or not the face has a tintindex applied (and the item itself has a tint color specified)

I just chose green as default color for your case as default color (in case there is no potion_contents color)

[pallid stream]

So, how do I get it set to certain pixels then? Based on colour?

[past nebula]

you can't change the UV based on a color value

you can only tell a face to be tinted or to not be tinted

[pallid stream]

So then how does tint work?
I've added the code and made the face have a tint but it doesnt change

does your beer have a potion effect?

[pallid stream]

I currently have water, fire res, and regen

They all appear black

/give _Tegg_ potion[minecraft:potion_contents="water",minecraft:item_model="template:beer"]

[past nebula]

well, black tinted in any color will always look black

[pallid stream]

Well even in white it still appeared white

I've taken the colours from minecraft potion overlay and they haven't changed either

[past nebula]

hmm, try replacing the tint part in the item definition file to this

    "tints": [
      {
        "type": "minecraft:potion",
        "default": -13083194
      }
    ]```

[past nebula]

oh, I wrote tint, not tints, that might have been the problem

though idk if it needs an array or an object, so you can try that thing I sent too (that's from the default potion item definition file)

[pallid stream]

tints has made it the cursed pink and black cube

[pallid stream]

This worked!
