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

Posted February 22, 20223 yr

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?

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

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
    }

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

Quote

June 2, 20223 yr

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.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

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

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. png

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.

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

June 4, 20223 yr

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

Quote

June 4, 20223 yr

try to move the FMLClientSetupEvent into a client event class

Quote

June 4, 20223 yr

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());

New Forum Design/Update: Issues and Suggestions

Hiho,

first of all I want to say that the new forum design looks really good.

However, there are currently two issues:

In the "Unread" section, the "Mark all as Read" feature seems to be missing - or am I just overlooking it somewhere?
Some threads don’t automatically get marked as read when you open them. So the post still shows up in "Unread," even though you’ve already viewed it.
Example Thread: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/159415-cannot-find-client-log-entries/

Then I have a smaller suggestion, referring to the Text Editor:

It is possible to move out the "Inline Code"-Feature from the "More Formatting Options" and add it directly to the Text Editor Tool Bar?
Same for "Quote"-Feature inside the Create Section

These two features are used quite often (at least by me) - as far as I remember, they were also available in the old forum design.

Trying to boot MC Eternal 2 Server, works on linux not on Windows 11: Jvm args error

That fixed it! it's still being weird and not actually printing anything to CMD but the logs look fine and eventually the gui generated looking normal. Thanks for your help I've done that on linux before but windows servers have always just worked with one click for some reason for me

Make sure you are using Java 17 JDK

In the start script, replace the word "java" with the java 17 path (javaw.exe) and put it into quotation marks

NEED HELP ASAP - Failed to load datapacks, can't proceed with server load. You can either fix your datapacks or reset to vanilla

Hey there, I have a big modpack I'm trying to run that I've put together with two other rather large communities- we have a grand opening scheduled for next week so it's really important that this gets solved ASAP.

The game runs fine in singleplayer, but when trying to run as a server using a hosting website, I've run into quite a massive error log. I've whittled it down to this point- I'm currently not sure what to do, as I believe the main error is relating to the datapack message, but I don't know for sure. Removing the datapack folder doesn't change the message either.

https://mclo.gs/2aTdXII

If the fix is something very simple, I apologize. I'm not too experienced with hosting websites and running large modpacks like this on a server.
I'm also not completely sure of which mods are client-only- a large handful of which are already disabled but I could be missing some. I just don't know which ones they would be, if that's causing the issue.
