[SOLVED] [1.17.1] Custom block with transparent parts makes block behind invisible

[PianoManu]

Hey guys!

I encountered the following problem when updating my mod from 1.16 to 1.17: If I place a block of my mod (e.g. stairs) in front of another block, the hidden side of the back block is not rendered.

It worked perfectly on 1.16, the problem only appeared when I moved to 1.17. I have already tried setting the render layer of the blocks from translucent to solid and to cutout, but nothing has changed.

The main feature of my mod is that the blocks of my mod (frames) can take the texture of any block. If I then take a transparent block (e.g. red stained glass) and "disguise" the frame stairs with it, you can see that on all sides that are completely covered by the stairs, the blocks behind them become invisible. (see 2nd picture) But on the side that is only covered to 3/4, the grass block behind is visible through the "red stained glass stairs" (see 3rd picture), which is correct.

For the stairs used in the first picture, a classic json model is used; when the stairs are disguised (2nd and 3rd picture), I created a BakedModel.

 

Please let me know, if you need more information or specific code parts. It looks to me like I'm missing on something very obvious, so I'm sorry if this question is stupid... please don't be mad at me

 

Here's my github repository: https://github.com/PianoManu/BlockCarpentry/tree/Forge-1.17

The block's main class is mod.pianomanu.blockcarpentry.block.StairsFrameBlock

The class where I created the baked model is mod.pianomanu.blockcarpentry.bakedmodels.StairsBakedModel

I'm setting the render layers in mod.pianomanu.blockcarpentry.setup.RenderSetup

All blocks and items are registered in mod.pianomanu.blockcarpentry.setup.Registration

 

 

Thanks in advance!!

You need to set the block's render type in your client setup.

[PianoManu]

public class RenderSetup {
    public static void setup() {
      ...
        ItemBlockRenderTypes.setRenderLayer(Registration.STAIRS_FRAMEBLOCK.get(), RenderType.translucent());
      ...
    }
}

Here's what I'm currently doing in my setup class. And the setup() method is called when the FMLClientSetupEvent is fired. The "..." are similar lines I removed, because the only things that change, are the blocks in the first parameter...

 

As I said, I already used RenderType.solid() and RenderType.cutout() and although it changed the model's appearance, it did not fix the problem. Or perhaps I misunderstood you? In that case, could you please be more specific, what I should do?

Many thanks for your help!

add noOcclusion to your Block.Properties
