[Unsolved] TileEntitySpecialRenderer not updating it's textures [1.6.2]

[larsgerrits]

So, I made a custom block model and it works, I added some checklines to check if the redstone control works, and it did. Now my only problem is that in the TileEntitySpecialRenderer class, it checks for a boolean in the TileEntity class, which is updated by the block itself, but it isn't updating it's textures based on the state of the boolean. It only uses 1 texture.

BTW does anyone know if there's an update method that checks every tick or something like that, just like in the TileEntity class with the updateEntity class.

[larsgerrits]

You need to sync the state of your TileEntity via the getDescriptionPacket and onDataPacket methods. Since Minecraft is a Client/Server application there are 2 TileEntity instances for each TE. One on the client and one serverside. Your data only gets modified in the serverside one if you don't send packets.

That could be the case, but which packets do i have to send for them to sync?

BTW does anyone know if there's an update method that checks every tick or something like that, just like in the TileEntity class with the updateEntity class.

Are you talking about TickHandlers?

If it kinda like the same as the updateEntity() method in the TileEntity class, that could be yes.

From getDescriptionPacket return a Packet132TileEntityData. That has an NBTTagCompound as its parameter, put all the data you need on the client side in there, and read it back in onDataPacket (the Packet will arrive there).

Ok that makes sense.

If it kinda like the same as the updateEntity() method in the TileEntity class, that could be yes.

Kinda, yes. What do you want to achieve?

At first, I thaught that the TileEntitySpecialRenderer class only got the TileEntity booleans once, and that I needed a method to constantly check for the booleans.
