Hello everyone!
First of all, I would like to thank you for all the tools this community gave to us. Modding Minecraft seems so easy with Forge!
I am currently trying to create my first mod, but I am facing a wall here. Instead of adding stuff (items, blocks, etc.), I would like to change default behavior. As in, I want the chests to be rendered as 1×1×1m boxes (2×1×1 for large ones), as they used to be (but with the opening / closing animation).
Now I found where these dimensions (for the boundBox and the model itself) were in native code:
net.minecraft.block.BlockChest
net.minecraft.client.model.ModelChest
net.minecraft.client.model.ModelLargeChest
There are a few methods to overwrite as well.
But my problem is, how can I tell the game to replace native chests with mines? Should I just rewrite these files? I was not sure; for me the point of Forge is precisely to avoid this.
How can I do this?
Thank you for reading this, I hope you can give me some advices here. Have a nice day / night!
