Hi fellow Minecrafters!
As you can probably tell by my post count, I'm pretty new to modding Minecraft. I have a reasonable knowledge of Java and OOP in general, though nowhere near professional level.
I've had good success with creating items, standard blocks, recopies and creating custom blocks.
I'm now trying to create a block with a custom model, but I'm running into some trouble. My block appears in creative, can be placed and has a collision box, but stubbornly refuses to render. I simply get a empty box where the model should be. I assume it is a problem with either my model or my custom renderer. I've replaced my model with a simple cube, to see if it was the model file, but it still won't work. I've poured over the tutorial I've been following several times, but as far as I can tell, I'm doing it right. I know I'm probably making a stupid mistake somewhere, but I just can't seem to find it.
If someone out there wouldn't mind giving me a hand, could you take a look at my code and let me know what I'm doing wrong? I'd really appreciate it.

Block Entity: -Seems silly to put this in, but what the hey
package emptyskies.testblock;

Model:
package emptyskies.testblock;

model.rotateAngleZ = z;
}
public void setRotationAngles(float f, float f1, float f2, float f3, float f4, float f5, Entity entity)
{
super.setRotationAngles(f, f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, entity);
}
}
Renderer:
package emptyskies.testblock;
import org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.OpenGlHelper;

}
@Override
public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity te, double x, double y, double z, float scale) {
GL11.glPushMatrix();
GL11.glTranslatef((float) x + 0.5F, (float) y + 1.5F, (float) z + 0.5F);
ResourceLocation textures = (new ResourceLocation("emptyskies:textures/blocks/testBlock.png"));
Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine.bindTexture(textures);
GL11.glPushMatrix();
GL11.glRotatef(180F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);
this.model.render(null, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F);
GL11.glPopMatrix();
GL11.glPopMatrix();
}
}
Thanks for any help you can provide. I apologize in advance if I'm doing something really stupid.
