Colouring Blocks and Items

Colouring a block or item statically or dynamically
When colouring a block (IBlockColor), you have the following contexts:
- IBlockState
- World (Nullable)
- BlockPos (Nullable)
- int tintIndex
When colouring an item (IItemColor), you have the following contexts:
- ItemStack
- int tintIndex

Timing to Register

Any time after specified Block or Item is registered is suitable.
Recommend listening to ColorHandlerEvent.Block and ColorHandlerEvent.Item as that gives a general timing of where all the mods would be registering their colouring handlers.

Usage Explanation

For Blocks, each BlockPartFace (seen as the elements of a "facing" JsonArray) can have an unique tintIndex. When handling and registering your IBlockColor implementation, you can return the valid colour depending on what tintIndex is in that specific call context.
For Items, each "layer" can have an unique tintIndex. When handling and registering your IItemColor implementation, you can return the valid colour depending on what tintIndex is in that specific call context.
