# Layer Data

The layer customization component is responsible for defining key aspects of a specific render layer. There are several aspects of a layer that can be modified:

* Effect
* Pulse Frequency
* Color
* Texture
* Visibility when carrying pollen

{% code title="Template:" %}

```json
"resourcefulbees:rendering/v1": {
  "layers": [
    {
      "layerEffect": "GLOW",
      "pulseFrequency": 5.0,
      "color": 65535,
      "texture": "/example/pollen",
      "isPollen": false
    }
  ]
}
```

{% endcode %}

## Customization Options

***

### <mark style="color:orange;">`color`</mark>

The color that will be applied to the layers texture, this should not be set if your texture is not made to be colored.

***

{% hint style="info" %}
**Name:** Color

**Key:** <mark style="color:orange;">`color`</mark>

**Type:** Color

**Default:** Optional
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Integer Color" %}

```json
"resourcefulbees:rendering/v1": {
  "layers": [
    {
      "color": 52020
    }
  ]
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Named color" %}

```json
"resourcefulbees:rendering/v1": {
  "layers": [
    {
      "color": "blanchedalmond"
    }
  ]
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Hex Color" %}

```json
"resourcefulbees:rendering/v1": {
  "layers": [
    {
      "color": "#442920"
    }
  ]
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### <mark style="color:orange;">`texture`</mark>

The texture for the layer. Each texture requires two versions to exist: <mark style="color:orange;">normal</mark> and <mark style="color:red;">angry</mark>. The angry texture should use the same name as the normal texture with the suffix `_angry` appended to it.&#x20;

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Normal" %}
`creeper.png`
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Angry" %}
`creeper_angry.png`
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

***

{% hint style="info" %}
**Name:** Texture

**Key:** <mark style="color:orange;">`texture`</mark>

**Type:** String

**Default:** Missing Texture
{% endhint %}

<details>

<summary>Example:</summary>

```json
"resourcefulbees:rendering/v1": {
  "layers": [
    {
      "texture": "/example/pollen"
    }
  ]
}
```

</details>

### <mark style="color:orange;">`layerEffect`</mark>

The effect the layer will have. There are 3 options available:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="NONE" %}
This effect does nothing. It is the default option and does not need to be set explicitly.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="ENCHANTED" %}
This effect applies the enchantment glint effect to the layer.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="GLOW" %}
This is used to apply a `fullbright` glow to the texture similar to the flash a creeper makes.\
This combined with the <mark style="color:orange;">`pulseFrequency`</mark> field will allow for the same effect as a creeper.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

***

{% hint style="info" %}
**Name:** Layer Effect

**Key:** <mark style="color:orange;">`layerEffect`</mark>

**Type:** Enum | LayerEffect

**Default:** `NONE`
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="NONE" %}
This does not have to be set explicitly. The two examples below do the same thing:

{% code title="Explicit:" %}

```json
"resourcefulbees:rendering/v1": {
  "layers": [
    {
      "layerEffect": "NONE"
    }
  ]
}
```

{% endcode %}

{% code title="Implicit:" %}

```json
"resourcefulbees:rendering/v1": {

}
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="ENCHANTED" %}

```json
"resourcefulbees:rendering/v1": {
  "layers": [
    {
      "layerEffect": "ENCHANTED"
    }
  ]
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="GLOW" %}

```json
"resourcefulbees:rendering/v1": {
  "layers": [
    {
      "layerEffect": "GLOW"
    }
  ]
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### <mark style="color:orange;">`isPollen`</mark>

When `true`, this layer will only be visible if the bee is carrying pollen.

{% hint style="info" %}

**Type:** Boolean

**Default:** `false`
{% endhint %}

<details>

<summary>Example:</summary>

```json
"resourcefulbees:rendering/v1": {

    {

    }
  ]
}
```

</details>

### <mark style="color:orange;">`pulseFrequency`</mark>

Used with the <mark style="color:orange;">`GLOW`</mark> <mark style="color:orange;">`layerEffect`</mark> to create a flashing effect.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developers.wiki.resourcefulbees.com/readme/render-data/layer-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
