A difference that I am confused on (1.7.10 to 1.17.x)

[Naiakoa]

So to keep this short, I am currently on updating my mod (after endless testing inhouse) to 1.17 before I fully release it as my team decided on, we have hit a bit of a snag and a bit stumped when it comes to calling rendered entities. As most obj are loaded simply via .json file how would one call it through in code to give the obj some movements and animation? For the first obj we are using we had it rotate by extending TileEntity overriding renderTileEntityAt, going through all BlockEntity we are unsure what the equivalent would be, any suggestions of what would be recommended for the mod to use this chunk of code? In short the specific object just rotates in place as it is a key temporary block to give players a specific buff/boost to fight some of the bosses in the mod if the players have a bit of a struggle during the combat. Also if a complete full documentation of something that lists X is now used as Z would be nice to have if existed. Thanks in advanced!

 

    @Override
    public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity tileEntity, double x, double y, double z, float tick) {

        yRotationAngle += tick * speed;
        speed = 5F;
        Ticks = tick * speed;

        if (tileEntity instanceof TileHarkar) {
            TileHarkar tileHarkar = (TileHarkar) tileEntity;

            /*                yRotationAngle ++ tick*speed;*/

            GL11.glPushMatrix();

            // Scale, Translate, Rotate
            GL11.glScalef(1.0F, 1.0F, 1.0F);
            GL11.glTranslatef((float) x + 0.5F, (float) y + 0.5F, (float) z + 0.5F);
            GL11.glRotatef(yRotationAngle, 0F, 0.01F, 0F);

            // Bind texture
            this.bindTexture(Textures.Model_Harkar);
            FMLClientHandler.instance().getClient().renderEngine.bindTexture(Textures.Model_Harkar);

            // Render
            modelHarkar.renderPart("Platonic");

            GL11.glPopMatrix();

        }
    }

One exists from the more recent 1.16 names to 1.17 via the bot on the Forge discord server.

But oh boy, you're coming from 1.7

You may as well throw everything you have in the trash and start from scratch as if you never modded before, relearning all the basics.

Yea, figured that out as much so far with a lot of things. So far that is the most thing I am stumped on as most obj files that was rendered in the past had some kind of movement GL effect to it. I might be on the forums trying to figure out other things I might end up being stumped on at this rate.

[Draco18s]

Its probably still possible, but animated stuff is not something I've ever messed with. Vanilla chests still work however they work, which might be worth seeing how it is coded. I know the TE Animation Forge thing...exists, but I don't know that it is complete or documented.

[Naiakoa]

I will check out how chests work and see if I can figure a couple things from that, meanwhile ignore the fact I just table flipped on setBlock doing one thing, but not with blockpos.offset wow this change from 1.7 to 1.17 is making me feel dumb Lol

Edit: yup nope lack of sleep derp for that Lol Oh well
