I extended the functionality of these to include being able to add color tints (and in 1.18.2 and below specify the render type).<br /><strong>bcfp.ini file in the root of the resource pack</strong><br />This should only be used as a backup method, if the model really doesn't want to accept being edited by the .json method. Usually should only be applicable to older versions of MC.<br />You can create a file called bcfp.ini in the root of the resource pack and define what tint colors (or render type for 1.18.2 and below) a block is supposed to have.<br />These are only applied at startup and are not reloaded dynamically.</p> <h3><strong>What you have to do with both methods</strong></h3> <p>In both cases we do have to edit the .json model file.</p> <h5><strong>"Parent" tag</strong></h5> <p>We have to actually point towards an existing parent model file with the "parent" tag or make our own model.<br />I included a bunch of altered parents model files for the already existing model files in minecraft. The easiest way to edit your .json file is to take what is in the "Original parent" column and replace it with the "Parent w/ overlay" column. The "block/" or "minecraft:block/" part should be kept.<br /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/9syPUP8.png" alt="parent tag" width="653" height="402" /></p> <p><strong>Example:</strong></p> <p>"parent": "block/crop_with_biome_overlay_modern"</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In the case of 1.12.2 there is also "crop_with_biome_overlay_modern". This just ports back a fix from newer version where the texture of the opposing sides of a texture are actually mirrored, so that it looks like that pixels are physically in the same place for the opposing sides. The included vanilla resource packs use this.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For all the above you also have to specify a new overlay texture. Usually the overlay texture name is just "overlay".<br />In the case that a model may have multiple overlay textures, e.g. "cube_with_biome_overlay", there is a copy of every texture name with "-overlay" appended.<br />In exception to that is the flower pot model, since we only care about the plant in the pot anyway.</p> <p>There is also a version for every one of these altered model files with a second overlay that is just the same name with a "2" appended at the end and another overlay texture with also "2" appended. I admittedly did not test these as I
