Yes, I typically do. I just threw this "basic" set of classes together to get it to work, as the actual version in my mod does the same thing. Good question. I don't see the hitbox (black wireframe) even highlight when I hover over the painting. The block's behind the painting will show their hitbox as if the painting wasn't there.

Thanks, but that line is referring to the dimensions and offset of the image to display on the painting. The enumart is referring to a property of EntityPainting: public static enum EnumArt { Kebab("Kebab", 16, 16, 0, 0), ... So I just used the values to always use the first image.

Hi. I am having a rendering issue with a custom painting. I simply extended all the painting classes as vanilla as possible, just changing the texture image to use (and of course to point to my classes). However, the image always renders a half block higher than it should. If I make the wall higher, then it will climb, full blocks higher. Has anyone encountered this before? ( I found one thread for an older version, but it didn't really help me). Thanks, gottsch MyItemHangingEntity: MyEntityPainting: MyRenderPainting: (exact coopy of RenderPainting except changing the texture) In MyMod: In ClientProxy: Image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67605173/2014-11-01_20.30.44.png[/img]

Wow, what a spectacular fail! I found the problem - programmer error! I kept updating my original deprecated Block class instead of the newer one. No wonder nothing worked. So, it was simply adding the setBlockBounds() that did the trick. Thanks for hanging in there.

No it didn't. I'm going to step back and create a new simple one block mod and see if I can get that to work. If not, I'll try the other suggestions.

Ok. Block: public class MyBlock extends BlockContainer { public MyBlock(Material material) { super(material); setHardness(2.0F); setBlockBounds(0.125F, 0.0F, 0.375F, 0.875F, 0.625F, 0.875F); //setBlockBounds(0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.5F, 0.5F, 0.5F); } @Override public AxisAlignedBB getSelectedBoundingBoxFromPool(World world, int x, int y, int z) { setBlockBounds(0.125F, 0.0F, 0.375F, 0.875F, 0.625F, 0.875F); return AxisAlignedBB.getBoundingBox(x + 0.125F, y + 0.0F, z + 0.375F, x + 0.875F, y + 0.625F, z + 0.875F); } // tried this //@Override //public AxisAlignedBB getCollisionBoundingBoxFromPool(World world, int x, int y, int z) { // setBlockBounds(0.125F, 0.0F, 0.375F, 0.875F, 0.625F, 0.875F); // return AxisAlignedBB.getBoundingBox(x + 0.125F, y + 0.0F, z + 0.375F, x + 0.875F, y + 0.625F, z + 0.875F); //} // tried this //@Override //public void setBlockBoundsBasedOnState(IBlockAccess world, int x, int y, int z) { // setBlockBounds(0.125F, 0.0F, 0.375F, 0.875F, 0.625F, 0.875F); //} @Override public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World p_149915_1_, int p_149915_2_) { return new MyTileEntity(); } @Override public int getRenderType() { return 0; // tried -1 here as well } @Override public boolean renderAsNormalBlock() { return false; } /** * Return false because it is smaller than a regular cube, so we need all sides rendered, else you'll see through other blocks. */ @Override public boolean isOpaqueCube() { return false; } @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) @Override public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister iconRegister) { this.blockIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon(MyMod.modid + ":" + "myblock"); } } TileEntityRenderer: public class MyTileEntityRenderer extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer { private final MyModel model; public MyTileEntityRenderer() { this.model = new MyModel(); } @Override public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity tileEntity, double x, double y, double z, float scale) { //The PushMatrix tells the renderer to "start" doing something. GL11.glPushMatrix(); //This is setting the initial location. GL11.glTranslatef((float) x + 0.5F, (float) y + 1.5F, (float) z + 0.5F); //This is the texture of your block.

Without it, your model will render upside-down! And for some reason you DO need PushMatrix again! GL11.glPushMatrix(); GL11.glRotatef(180F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F); //A reference to your Model file. Again, very important. this.model.render((Entity)null, 0.0F, 0.0F, -0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0625F); //Tell it to stop rendering for both the PushMatrix's GL11.glPopMatrix(); GL11.glPopMatrix(); } //Set the lighting stuff, so it changes it's brightness properly. private void adjustLightFixture(World world, int i, int j, int k, Block block) { Tessellator tess = Tessellator.instance; //float brightness = block.getBlockBrightness(world, i, j, k); //As of MC 1.7+ block.getBlockBrightness() has become block.getLightValue(): float brightness = block.getLightValue(world, i, j, k); int skyLight = world.getLightBrightnessForSkyBlocks(i, j, k, 0); int modulousModifier = skyLight % 65536; int divModifier = skyLight / 65536; tess.setColorOpaque_F(brightness, brightness, brightness); OpenGlHelper.setLightmapTextureCoords(OpenGlHelper.lightmapTexUnit, (float) modulousModifier, divModifier); } }

None of these options are working - it must be something else I'm not doing correctly. Is there something different I need to change/update in the Renderer or TileEntity? My block is extending BlockContainer btw, not sure if that affects anything.

Thanks for that catch. Still not working though. I even changed it to something more simple like: setBlockBounds(0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.5F, 0.5F, 0.5F); It's like the bounds are being overridden somewhere. I must have something else jacked up.

That's what I assumed, but it is not working for me. I called setBlockBounds(...) in the constructor of my custom block, but it didn't change anything. I'm not sure i'm calling it in the right place. Is there a working example of this?

Yes, the bounding box (the black wireframe that surrounds a block in game). I realize my initial description didn't explain that well enough - i'll update.

Thanks, but my model is a rectangle - not a cube, that is already smaller than a regular cube. I need it to fit more "tightly" around the model - is that doable or can it only be a % size of a cube ?

Hello, I created a custom small model using Techne. Everything works fine - rendering, texture, etc. However, it's bounding box (black wire-frame) takes up the space of a full cube. I was wondering how I can change this to be the size of the actual model. I was assuming it was the blockBounds but this isn't working. Any ideas what else I should be doing? public class MySmallBlock extends BlockContainer { public MySmallBlock(Material material) { super(material); setBlockBounds(0.125F, 0.0F, 0.875F, 0.375F, 0.625F, 0.875F); } ... }

Ok, good to know. Thanks to everyone for your replies.

Thanks, that did the trick. Thanks for catching that. The method comes from WorldGenerator: protected void setBlockAndNotifyAdequately(World p_150516_1_, int p_150516_2_, int p_150516_3_, int p_150516_4_, Block p_150516_5_, int p_150516_6_) { if (this.doBlockNotify) { p_150516_1_.setBlock(p_150516_2_, p_150516_3_, p_150516_4_, p_150516_5_, p_150516_6_, 3); } else { p_150516_1_.setBlock(p_150516_2_, p_150516_3_, p_150516_4_, p_150516_5_, p_150516_6_, 2); } } It seems to place the block and either use flag 3 or 2 depending on the doBlockNotify, which is false by default. So in essence it *should* have done exactly as Eternaldoom suggested, but it didn't seem to be working for me.

Hi. I have a WorldGenerator that generates a chest, however, I can't seem to set the direction it is pointing. I've tried this to set a random direction: this.setBlockAndNotifyAdequately(world, x, y, z, Blocks.chest, random.nextInt(5) + 2); But the chest is always pointing South. Any ideas? I'm sure it's a pretty simple fix, I'm just missing it.

[sOLVED] I removed all my mods and started from scratch. I got it working but not sure exactly what fixed it - there were several issues I think that caused this, though it was in the my class that extended TileEntityChest.

Glad to hear it. Would you mind posting your code? I've updated mine and it still won't work. I even duplicated the entire classes (updating the references) but no go.

I had followed a tutorial originally and studied more, testing many different scenarios. It seems to boil down to the createNewTileEntity(..) method in AChest.java. If it creates anything other than TileEntityChest, it doesn't persist the items on exit. Which leads me to think that my ATileEntityChest isn't correct, but I can't figure what.

Hello, I have created a basic custom BlockChest and corresponding TileEntityChest. I can place the chest in game and add items to it. I can save and exit the current game, reload and the items are still present in the chest. However, if I exit Minecraft entirely, and reload the game, all the items are missing. Note: This only happens when I use the custom ATileEntityChest. If I use the standard TileEntityChest everything works fine. Has anyone encountered this before?
