How can i make the transparency of an block work just like the SlimeBlock, as shown in the image:

By now i'm setting the RenderLayer of the block to RenderType.translucent() and also extending the HalfTransparentBlock in my block.

Block class: 

Spoiler

public class ColoredSlimeBlock extends SlimeBlock {
	public ColoredSlimeBlock(Properties properties) {
		super(properties);
	}
	
	@Override
	public boolean isStickyBlock(BlockState state) {
		return true;
	}
}

The registration:

Spoiler

@OnlyIn(Dist.CLIENT)
public static Object clientOnlySetup() {
	for (RegistryObject<Block> regBlock : ModBlocks.BLOCKS.getEntries()) {
		if (regBlock.get() instanceof ColoredSlimeBlock) {
			ItemBlockRenderTypes.setRenderLayer(regBlock.get(), RenderType.translucent());
		}
	}
	
  	...
      
	return null;
}

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void onRegisterItem(final RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event) {
        final IForgeRegistry<Item> registry = event.getRegistry();

		ModBlocks.BLOCKS.getEntries().stream().map(RegistryObject::get).forEach((block) -> {
			final Item.Properties properties;
			if (shouldHide(block)) {
				return;
			}
			else if (isBlockItem(block)) {
				properties = new Item.Properties().tab(ModCreativeTab.ITEMS);
			}
			else {
				properties = new Item.Properties().tab(ModCreativeTab.BLOCKS);
			}
			final BlockItem blockItem = new BlockItem(block, properties);

			blockItem.setRegistryName(block.getRegistryName());
			registry.register(blockItem);
		});
    }

Did'n know about the OnlyIn thing, thanks

have to admit that i don't have an Block Registration 😳, thought that only the item registration was necessary. But the block works fine.

you need to register the Block itself and the BlockItem for it

@SubscribeEvent
public static void onRegisterBlock(final RegistryEvent.Register<Block> event) {
	final IForgeRegistry<Block> registry = event.getRegistry();

	ModBlocks.BLOCKS.getEntries().stream().map(RegistryObject::get).forEach((block) -> {
		registry.register(block);
	});
}

just did the block registration, but the block transparency remains the same.

show the Registry Entry of your ColoredSlimeBlock

	return new ColoredSlimeBlock(BlockBehaviour.Properties.of(Material.CLAY).friction(0.8f).sound(SoundType.SLIME_BLOCK).noOcclusion());
});

post a git repo so i can debug this local, since your code looks okay it should work

Done ... https://github.com/samjviana/bunchofthings
i think it's the default one, but it's the 1.17.1 branch

i've test your code and unfortunately i can't tell you what'S exactly is the problem
the only thing i can tell you is that HalfTransparentBlock#skipRendering is not called,
but i don't know why

sorry

I thought that it should be called, place some logs inside it, but it's never called.
i could try to create an custom render, kinda copying the translucent, but i think is to much work

I will try to reproduce the problem in my own project

Hi, did you achieve something?

unfortunately it doesn't work for me either, the reason for that is that skipRendering is not called but i have no idea why

i'll try to create a new render, if it works i'll come back here with it.
