Hello fellow modder, just thought I would like to ask as I have some issues.

You see, I have custom 3D block entity, namely custom chests. Basically just work the same as vanilla chests but with different textures. Problem is, they don't render in inventory even though they do render placed in world.

Putting the debug line reveals that it does output and fire but it won't render.

Here's the screenshot. The chest does render properly placed in world but won't render in inventory. You can tell by item name tooltips. If more code is needed, I will only be too happy to show.

What am I missing? I had mod BEWLR instance declared, had the chests hooked and firing.

the item in the inventory is a model, its not rendered via the EntityRenderer

I actually figured out. I made a bit of mistake in chest rendering code, it apparently referenced vanilla chests instead of modded chest. Made some code changes and now it appears correctly in inventory.
