I ran into exactly the same problem, but for 1.15.2; Not sure about 1.14.4, but by looking in RenderType I found the old fields, just renamed weirdly. In my case,
RenderType.func_228643_e_()
ended up being right; if you're using transparency, you'll probably want
RenderType.func_228645_f_()
. That is, in FMLClientSetupEvent, do
RenderTypeLookup.setRenderLayer(block, RenderType.(whichever function you need))
