Biome-colored flowers & plants

The mod does not add blocks of its own. Its purpose is to let resource packs apply biome tint colors to blocks that normally show a fixed texture. Packs can tint grass, leaves and water, and water can use a transparent biome-overlay texture in most cases. A bundled set of resource packs is included, and its folder is enabled at startup so the packs work without extra setup.

The method depends on the game version. From 1.19.2 on, blocks are handled by their render layer, while on 1.12.2 vanilla and modded blocks do not override getRenderLayer. Up to 1.18.2 there are two ways to define tints: editing the .json model files of an existing foundation, or creating a bcfp.ini file at the root of a resource pack for blocks that do not use a model. The bcfp.ini method is a backup for cases where a model cannot be edited. Both methods are applied only at startup or after a reload, not dynamically.

Shader packs such as BSL, Complementary Shaders and AstraLex are mentioned by the author as tested with the tinted textures, and some translucency issues may appear with other shaders. The mod is published for Forge only, for 12 release versions 1.12.2 – 1.20.1, under All rights reserved.
