[Resolved][1.16.5] How I can render a line from one tile entity to another

[tigres810]

Okay so I looked everywhere and I cannot find anything on how to render a line from one tile entity to another I have the position of the other tileentity store in the tileentity

I want to achieve the image below

Any help?

take a look at the StructureBlockRenderer, but you normally render a line with LevelRenderer#renderLine

Now the line cuts off and is black it should be red here is the code

	    Vector3d projectedView = Minecraft.getInstance().gameRenderer.getMainCamera().getPosition();
 
	    matrixStackIn.pushPose();
	    matrixStackIn.translate(-projectedView.x, -projectedView.y, -projectedView.z);
	    RenderSystem.lineWidth(2);
 
	    Matrix4f matrix = matrixStackIn.last().pose();
	    Color color = new Color(255, 0, 0, 255);
 
	    bufferbuilder.begin(GL11.GL_LINES, DefaultVertexFormats.POSITION_COLOR);
	    if(tileEntityIn.getConnectedTo() != null && !tileEntityIn.getConnectedTo().equals(BlockPos.ZERO)) {
	    	drawLine(matrix, bufferbuilder, new Vector3d(tileEntityIn.getBlockPos().getX() + 1f, tileEntityIn.getBlockPos().getY() + 0.7f, tileEntityIn.getBlockPos().getZ() + 1f), new Vector3d(tileEntityIn.getConnectedTo().getX() + 1f, tileEntityIn.getConnectedTo().getY() + 0.7f, tileEntityIn.getConnectedTo().getZ() + 1f), color);

	    tessellator.end();

does color method uses integers or floats as parameters?

why do you create your own method, you should use vanilla method for this

[tigres810]

I fixed it ill mark this post as resolved
