Displaying model of ItemStack on top of a Block at specific position


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am making a workstation that when specific slots are filled, they show up with the model of the ItemStack at the Y level of an int in the workstation block, and at a x and y of a Location (specifically this Location constructor : Location(World world, double x, double y, double z, float yaw, float pitch)) stored as a var for each item type, and at a offset of the same Location type stored as a var in the ItemStack's derived class. In the workstation's class there is a second Location of the same type which is the connected offset. I have all the variables set up, and a function:
 

//Displays Items, returns true if it worked, returns false if it didnt work.
private boolean DisplayItems(ItemStack head, ItemStack shaft, ItemStack binding, ItemStack feathers, int connect, int maxConnect) {

}

The int connect tells the function what step in lerping between connected and unconnected, and the int maxConnect tells the function the max step for the lerping.

My main problems is that I don't know how to render the ItemStack's models, how to arrange them by accessing the ItemStack's derived class's offset, how to lerp their positions when connect is greater than zero, and whether or not this is even the right way of doing this.

Thanks ahead of time for your help!

So I have tried implementing this, and have immediately run into a problem.

I am guessing that I need to create a new ItemRenderer, so I tried that:
 

ItemRenderer headRend = new ItemRenderer();

However, the constructor takes a lot of parameters that I don't know how to implement. Could you explain how I am supposed to make a ItemRenderer to use the renderStatic method, as it is not static.

Use your IDE to find how to obtain it.

Ok, I did some more research, and this is what I have so far:
 

ItemRenderer rend = Minecraft.getInstance().getItemRenderer();
rend.renderStatic(head, ItemTransforms.TransformType.GROUND, //Unknown int 1, //Unknown int 2, //Unknown variable PoseStack, //Unknown variable MultiBufferSource, //Unknown int 3)

Can you explain what the last few parameters are and how I can give the method them?

    • Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!
    • The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!
    • Does it still crash if you remove holdmyitems? Looks like that mod doesn't work on a server as far as I can tell from the error.
