[Forge 1.18.1] Help with block with transparency and custom shape

[OJarrisonn]

Hello guys, how are you?
 

I'm working on a block that I've designed it using BlockBench, the block have a transparent chamber with 2 electrodes inside. But in-game the block doesn't render properly, how can I fix it?

[Luis_ST]

you need to set the RenderType of your Block to RenderType.cutout via ItemBlockRenderTypes.setRenderLayer in FMLClientSetupEvent

[OJarrisonn]

Oh thanks it worked

For anyone who wants to know the solution:

Add the following to the constructor of your main class:

FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus().addListener(this::clientSetup); // clientSetup is the name of a method that i've created

Add the following method (the name need to be the same of the name that you passed inside .addListener()):

private void clientSetup (final FMLClientSetupEvent event) {
        ItemBlockRenderTypes.setRenderLayer(ModBlocks.INFUSER_BLOCK.get(), RenderType.cutout()); // Replace ModBlocks.INFUSER_BLOCK.get() with your block
    }

I did that solution and it didn't work for me. (i was in 1.18.2)

there was stuff i was experimenting with so don't worry about it lol

the code will not compile, because there is a bracket missing

you call ItemBlockRenderTypes twice, in FMLCommonSetupEvent and the in FMLClientSetupEvent
but you should call int onyl in FMLClientSetupEvent

[CoddingDirtMC]

i already fixed the bracket and made sure I only called the function once but it still didnt work

You never set your block's render type, just the item.

wrong ItemBlockRenderTypes is used to set the RenderType of the Block,
not sure why the class is called ItemBlockRenderTypes

is this EventHandler called? use debugger to check

Edited June 3, 2022 by Luis_ST

[CoddingDirtMC]

In my constructor, Im doing 

modEventBus.addListener(this::clientSetup);

So I think it is. (I'm new to mc modding btw so idk if I'm even in the right spot lol) If you need my debug here.

Edited June 3, 2022 by CoddingDirtMC

[Luis_ST]

try RenderType.cutoutMipped

[CoddingDirtMC]

i changed the render type parameter and it still didnt work

[CoddingDirtMC]

wait my code has a setup method. And my clientSetup seems to be not running. Is the setup method overriding clientSetup?

Setup method and Constructor:

public ElliotItems()
    {
        // Register the setup method for modloading
    	final IEventBus modEventBus = FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus();
        modEventBus.addListener(this::setup);
        // Register the enqueueIMC method for modloading
        modEventBus.addListener(this::enqueueIMC);
        // Register the processIMC method for modloading
        modEventBus.addListener(this::processIMC);
        modEventBus.addListener(this::clientSetup);
        BlockInit.BLOCKS.register(modEventBus);
        ItemInit.ITEMS.register(modEventBus);
        // Register ourselves for server and other game events we are interested in
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);
    }

    private void setup(final FMLCommonSetupEvent event)
    {
        // some preinit code
        LOGGER.info("HELLO FROM PREINIT");
        char[] ca = {'g', 'o', ' ', 'm', 'y'};
        String c = Character.toString(ca[0]).toUpperCase();
        System.out.println(c + " is c");
        char[] newc = c.toCharArray();
        ca[0] = newc[0];
        System.out.println(new String(ca));
        LOGGER.info("DIRT BLOCK >> {}", Blocks.DIRT.getRegistryName());
    }

By the way, why do you have this?
It does nothing useful.

[CoddingDirtMC]

alr so I have that cause I was testing something with strs and chars. I know it does nothing

[CoddingDirtMC]

I also already tried removing setup and keeping client setup. The method "clientSetup" runs but the render type still does not change

[Luis_ST]

try to move the FMLClientSetupEvent into a client event class

[CoddingDirtMC]

you're reading my mind I just did that now and it STILL didnt work

package util;

import init.BlockInit;
import com.example.eitem.ElliotItems;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.ItemBlockRenderTypes;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.RenderType;
import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.SubscribeEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLClientSetupEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.api.distmarker.Dist;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus;

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = ElliotItems.MOD_ID, bus = Bus.MOD, value = Dist.CLIENT)
public class ClientEventBusSubscriber {
	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void clientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) {
		ItemBlockRenderTypes.setRenderLayer(BlockInit.TELEPORTER.get(), RenderType.cutout());
	}
}
