Why? You're just telling me no without saying why.

I thought that if I'm implementing ITileEntityProvider I don't need to do that.

I'm sorry for being such a noob, but could you possibly explain how to do that? I've tried looking up how to add data to a tile entitiy but I just can't seem to wrap my head around it. I tried [spoiler=TECanvas.java] package com.paradoxbomb.inkcannon.common.tileEntities.canvasBlock; import com.paradoxbomb.inkcannon.LogHelper; import com.paradoxbomb.inkcannon.NBTHelper; import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState; import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound; import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity; public class TECanvas extends TileEntity { private IBlockState disguisedBlock; public void setDisguiseState(IBlockState newState) { this.disguisedBlock = newState; } public IBlockState getDisguisedState() { return this.disguisedBlock; } @Override public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound compound) { LogHelper.info("Saving data to NBT"); super.writeToNBT(compound); NBTTagCompound blockState = new NBTTagCompound(); ((TileEntity) this.disguisedBlock).writeToNBT(blockState); compound.setTag("PAINTED_BLOCK", blockState); LogHelper.info(compound.toString()); } @Override public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound compound) { } } but writeToNBT never seems to get called.

I'm very confused then, because when I test the code that I have, it creates canvas blocks that are untextured.

I assume that I need to pass the IBlockState from the in-world block into the CanvasBlockModelFactory before it gets placed, but I'm stuck on how to do that. I've tried looking up topics that I think might be useful for figuring this out, but I am completely lost.

Okay, but how would I dynamically set the default state of the canvas block to allow it to have more than one possible texture?

if I have one set default state, though, that seems like it would defeat the purpose of the block: to have a dynamic texture. As it stands, the block works in three parts: [spoiler="BlockCanvas.java] //block that will replace a block in the world with a copy of its texture that can be tinted package com.paradoxbomb.inkcannon.common.tileEntities.canvasBlock;

Oh, my bad. What should I be calling, then?

After derping around with stuff, I managed to come up with this.worldObj.setBlockState(blockpos, ModBlocks.blockCanvas.getExtendedState(iblockstate, this.worldObj, blockpos)); on my projectile (the thing that will actually be placing the block) code. However, it seems to just break a block and then immediately replace it with the vanilla version of itself, as determined by a simple item that prints out what block it was used on to the console. I don't actually have a TE for my block, but it sounds like I should look into it. I assume you were referencing the TE in the canvas (camouflage) block?

I'm following GreyGhost's MinecraftByExample example project on ISBMs, and I can't for the life of me figure out when ModelBakeEventHandler "catches" events. My intent is to have a mechanic to replace existing blocks with TEs that I can then perform rendering on, but I don't know how to tell the model factory what type of block to paint itself as. double edit for additional information: I know that GG has a method of choosing a random nearby block and then clones that, but I want to only copy the block it is replacing. edited for clarity of version

That code snippet will definitely be invaluable once I actually get the thing working, but I was referring to the obfuscated fields in the RenderSnowball.java file.

They might be obvious to a vet like you, but I have no idea. Help a newbie out?

All right, now I'm running into the problem that RenderSnowball 's constructor takes three arguments, the last two of which are obfuscated for some reason: public RenderSnowball(RenderManager renderManagerIn, Item p_i46137_2_, RenderItem p_i46137_3_) { super(renderManagerIn); this.field_177084_a = p_i46137_2_; this.field_177083_e = p_i46137_3_; } Also when trying to add my projectile to my EntityRenderer class, it says that the current method is deprecated and that the version that will be around in 1.9 needs a renderFactory. What the heck is that and how do I pass it correctly?

I'm not really sure where to go for questions like this... I have a custom projectile that I've made, and it works, but it's currently invisible as I don't know how to actually tell Minecraft what to render. I tried Googling, but apparently everyone already knows how or something. Is there a tutorial somewhere I'm missing?
