Custom Block Rendering Based On NBT

[7H3LaughingMan]

I need help trying to figure a few things out and I figured I should ask this here. So I am working on my own mod and for one of my blocks it's going to have more then 16 types and so I am going to be categorizing the different types using NBT Data stored in the Tile Entities. However I need the individual types to have different looks based on the different types and if there is extra bits stored in the NBT. How would I got about having the block look for this information and choose different icons for the different sides based off NBT Data. I believe for the blocks being rendered when they are place within the world you would use getBlockTexture(), however to my understanding I would have to use custom Item Rendering to have the different appearances if the block is in one's inventory. Is there an example out there for this?

Does this handle rendering items within one's inventory?

[hydroflame]

I have taken a look at ChickenBone's EnderStorage and discovered I would need a IItemRenderer along with a TileEntitySpecialRenderer. Is there any tutorials that explain these?
