Sorry, I meant a json block model like the ones found in assets/models/block. How do I convert that into a baked model?

Another question, how would I go about loading a baked model from a json file?

I'm currently trying to figure out how to animate a baked model. So far, I've gathered that I need to have a TileEntity for the block as well as a TER for the block's tile entity. At first I was going to use forge's animation API to do the animation, but after some digging around I found out that the animation API wasn't fully implemented in 1.15+ (I'm not entirely sure if that's still correct, as the threads that I found were all from a few years ago, so correct me if I'm wrong). Basically what I want to do is apply some transformations to elements of the baked model when the block is clicked.

I managed to fix it by serializing the NBT data inside the capability wrapper.

It appears as if ItemStack::readShareTag is only getting called once (on stack creation) and never again. I'll try poking around with the debugger a bit more.

Ok, so I think I'll go into a little bit more detail: The item has a custom capability that stores the ItemStack's temperature. When the stack is placed into the output slot of one of the tile entities in my mod, it is supposed to keep the temperature of the stack the same as the tile entity. However, it only does this for the stack on the server side (I've checked with eclipse's debugger). Here's the code for the tile entity, in case that helps: https://github.com/Awsomekeldeo/RealisTech/blob/f45e7b906509c6171c3bb71384f8c64c2356117c/src/main/java/awsome/realistech/tileentity/CrucibleTileEntity.java

Forgot to post code: Item Class: https://github.com/Awsomekeldeo/RealisTech/blob/forge-support/src/main/java/awsome/realistech/items/CeramicMoldItem.java Capability Wrapper: https://github.com/Awsomekeldeo/RealisTech/blob/forge-support/src/main/java/awsome/realistech/capability/MoldCapabilityWrapper.java Capability: Interface: https://github.com/Awsomekeldeo/RealisTech/blob/forge-support/src/main/java/awsome/realistech/api/capability/energy/IHeat.java IStorage implementation: https://github.com/Awsomekeldeo/RealisTech/blob/forge-support/src/main/java/awsome/realistech/api/capability/energy/HeatCapability.java Implementation: https://github.com/Awsomekeldeo/RealisTech/blob/forge-support/src/main/java/awsome/realistech/api/capability/impl/HeatHandlerItemStack.java

One of the items in my mod is supposed to be syncing it's NBT data to the client using ItemStack::getShareTag and ItemStack::readShareTag. I've tried putting breakpoints in these methods, but they don't seem to be getting called at all. Is something wrong with my installation? My forge version is 1.15.2-31.2.31, in case that helps. Any help would be appreciated.

I want to add a custom fluid type to my mod. I'm currently trying to extend ForgeFlowingFluid, and am lost as to what to do with the method overrides in the class.

I managed to get it working, I just looked at the campfire tile entity's renderer as an example.

I would like to have a tile entity that renders it's items in-world on top of itself. Can I get some pointers as to where to look for examples of that sort of thing? Also, just a few more questions: 1. Is it possible to just use a TER for the items and have the block itself just be a baked model? 2. Do I need to use a container for the tile entity if I'm not going to add a GUI for it?

If you already know basic java, I would suggest reading the forge documentation first: https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/1.15.x/ McJty's modding tutorial is also pretty good and covers most of the basics, found here: https://wiki.mcjty.eu/modding/index.php?title=YouTube-Tutorials

Whenever I change the mappings version in the build.gradle file to something other than the default MCP mappings, it causes genEclipseRuns to be unable to resolve forge dependencies. Gradle Log:
