Dyeable Custom Armour

[feral juniper]

What do I need to add?

[indigo trail]

Your item needs the "dyed" parameter in the "minecraft:icon" component, also it must need the "minecraft:dyeable" component to work.

Thaks mate, but will this also automaticaly have the couldron dyeing function?

[feral juniper]

Managed to make just the item to work, what do I need to do for it show in when wearing the armour?

[indigo trail]

i dont know yet, ill find some info

ill be back

[feral juniper]

Oh, well yeah still thanks again))

[indigo trail]

you will need a render controller for it

so, in the attachables, add another material called "dyed" and set the value to "entity_alphatest_change_color"

also, place another texture called "dyed" and a name.

oh wait, sorry, wrong explanation

[feral juniper]

I tried it and doesn't seem to work, or is my code wrong?

[indigo trail]

it needs a render controller

[feral juniper]

What render controller though? Like the leather armour's?

What should I put in the render controller?

[indigo trail]

kinda

i think it needs molang to work

[feral juniper]

I don't seem to understand what part will I have molang in, I'm not familiar with it, I searched it up but I don't know where in the render controller I will put it

[feral juniper]

sorry, i dont have any expert knowledge about render controllers

you could try asking at the resource pack forrum

[feral juniper]

Ok, but anyways still thanks, atleast I got it items to work.

[indigo trail]

yeah

welcome

the model texture has to be similar to the ones that sheep has, it needs to be a .tga file format

it's how dyeable textures change their color

the non-transparent parts are the ones that will be colored, while the almost transparent parts are the parts that doesn't change color (it must be almost-transparent, making it fully transparent will make the texture empty)

[feral juniper]

I know, its that the armour isn't being coloured despite that it is not transparent.

[undone latch]

I see, so it is wonky to deal with

have you tried other dyeable material perhaps?

like leather armor for example

or even cats and dogs
