SnakerBone

Hi, So I've been wanting to try and find out how to have a custom block renderer without having to use a block entity (for optimization purposes). My actual block does not actually use anything block entity related (like saving and loading data). It's really only a block entity for the custom renderer. If normal blocks can have their own custom renderer without needing a block entity then how would I go about doing this? To be more in depth on what I'm actually doing; I have GLSL shaders and I'm basically wanting to render the shader as simple block (Here is my utility class that draws the block). Thanks

Thanks 🙂 I wasn't aware mojang started using JOML in 1.19.3 my bad haha

Hi! I've been trying to use external libraries like JOML (for animating) and Jsoup (for html parsing), It compiles fine, however at runtime if I call a class that uses one of these external libraries it crashes my game saying "ClassNotFoundException: {external library maven url here}". Here's my relevant code: // build.gradle dependencies { minecraft "net.minecraftforge:forge:${mc_version}-43.2.0" // Other dependencies... implementation "org.joml:joml:${joml_version}" implementation "org.jsoup:jsoup:${jsoup_version}" } // gradle.properties joml_version=1.10.5 jsoup_version=1.16.1 // Class using external joml library (crashes when I call this method) public Quaternionf toQuatf(float x, float y, float z, float w) { return new Quaternionf(x, y, z, w); } If I'm missing something please let me know! I'm not so familiar with Gradle as I originally used maven Poms/XMLs with Java xD

I figured it out! I had to change the buffer size on the render type from 256 to Integer.POSITIVE_INFINITY. This gives it an infinite buffer size with no limit. Though it makes the game EXTREMELY laggy (obviously). So I've scrapped the original idea I had for world gen with shader blocks and moved on because I'm not really the biggest fan of trying to optimise shaders as I hate coding in C++ with a passion lol

Hi again, I'm having trouble with my block entity being invisible when placed by world gen, It works fine when Its placed by a player. My block also uses a shader for its texture.

Figured it out. I had to put "parent": "builtin/entity" in the block models json. My bad XD

Hi, thanks for your reply. I have done this however I am still having the same problem. Here's my new code: I'm think I might be missing something. Please let me know if that's the case

Hi, so I recently made a shader with OpenGL and I'm able to get it to render on the block in the world but I'm having trouble trying to get the actual BlockItem to render. I'm also using GeckoLib & CodeChickenLib, heres what it looks like in game: Here's my code: I'm also not missing any block/item JSON's so I'm kind of confused. I have been able to get this working in 1.16 but I cant seem to get it working in 1.19.2 Any help appreciated. Thanks 🙂
