I have a TileEntity that stores several items. I need it to render the item currently in a certain slot to be "placed" just on top of the block model, much like a Thaumcraft wand on an arcane workbench, though it does not need to move. Currently the block model is a simple block with non-animated textures on each side, and I would prefer not to have to change too much of the block model. I need the code to be able to render the item even if it does not use the default layered texture. As the rendering code has completely changed in 1.8, and the only tutorial I could find works for 1.7, I have no idea how to go about doing this. Where do I start?

Ok, thanks!

I have an item that is supposed to use up durability each time it is crafted in a recipe. In 1.7 I simply overrode doesContainerItemLeaveCraftingGrid() to return false, and overrode getContainerItem() to be itself with +1 damage. How do I do that in 1.8?

In 1.7 I could override Item.doesContainerItemLeaveCraftingGrid() to set if an item's container leaves the crafting grid once an item is crafted. However, it seems this function no longer exists in 1.8, and looking through the Item class I haven't found any similarly named functions. What am I supposed to use instead of this? I have looked at this thread: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,27948.msg143500.html, and its answer is simply the same function I was using in 1.7.

Still doesn't work. "forgeSrc-1.7.2-10.12.0.1019.jar" shows up in the project folder now, but I still get: Archive for required library: 'C:/Users/einsteinsci/.gradle/caches/minecraft/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.7.2-10.12.0.1019/forgeSrc-1.7.2-10.12.0.1019.jar' in project '1019 v2' cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file in Markers. When I try and run it anyway, the FMLTweaker class isn't found.

I have the same problem, tried both of those, and got no results. It appears that for some reason gradlew isn't building forge.
