I have an existing function which draws a outline over an AABB (usually to highlight mobs or blocks):
 

    public static void drawLineBox(PoseStack matrixStack, AABB aabb, float r, float g, float b, float a) {
        Entity camEntity = MC.getCameraEntity();
        double d0 = camEntity.getX();
        double d1 = camEntity.getY() + camEntity.getEyeHeight();
        double d2 = camEntity.getZ();

        RenderSystem.depthMask(false); // disable showing lines through blocks
        VertexConsumer vertexConsumer = MC.renderBuffers().bufferSource().getBuffer(RenderType.lines());

        matrixStack.pushPose();
        matrixStack.translate(-d0, -d1, -d2); // because we start at 0,0,0 relative to camera
        LevelRenderer.renderLineBox(matrixStack, vertexConsumer, aabb, r, g, b, a);
        matrixStack.popPose();
    }

 

I want to adapt this code to draw solid overlays instead of just outlines. See this mockup as an example of what I mean:

I've noticed that RenderType.lines() can actually be swapped out for a variety of other types, including notably .solid() and .translucent() which sound like the things that I want.

However, when I replace .lines() in my above code with any other RenderType I get this error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not filled all elements of the vertex
	at TRANSFORMER/[email protected]/com.mojang.blaze3d.vertex.BufferBuilder.endVertex(BufferBuilder.java:249)
	at TRANSFORMER/[email protected]/net.minecraft.client.renderer.LevelRenderer.renderLineBox(LevelRenderer.java:2313)
	at TRANSFORMER/[email protected]/net.minecraft.client.renderer.LevelRenderer.renderLineBox(LevelRenderer.java:2297)
	at TRANSFORMER/[email protected]/com.solegendary.reignofnether.util.MyRenderer.drawLineBox(MyRenderer.java:59)

Is there a guide anywhere for how to properly use these RenderTypes?

I am also interested in how all of the others are used too as it could be a useful tool in the future.

Things-that-are-not-lines require more than 2 vertices.

Ok so if I understand correctly, a vertex is created using this line:

vertexConsumer.vertex(matrix4f, x, y, z).color(r, g, b, a).normal(matrix3f, x, y, z).endVertex();

And for a square in my case I just copy with the appropriate coords 4 times.

While I see that the .vertex() takes in-world coordinates, the .normal() seems to be just 1, 0 or -1. How does that work?

In fact, while we're at it - is there any tutorial or docs you can provide that explain how all of the vertexConsumer functions are used? (namely uv, uv2, overlayCoords and normal)

Normals only have two possible directions and can generally be determined by the order in which the vertices are specified.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_(geometry)

 

Minecraft's code is all a convenience wrapper around standard LWJGL calls, which is itself a Java wrapper around raw OpenGL instructions. UV coordinates are for textures.

    • I see. I'm sure I tried again with a lower case word, a few times. I ended up doing the same thing as pixxy in the end. Is this beyond the scope of the admins to fix? Are they already aware of it, or should I use 'contact us' to post a ticket?
    • I’m working on a Manta Ray entity in MCreator using GeckoLib animations, and my goal is to have a looping (flip) animation that ends at −360°, then transitions seamlessly into a swim animation starting at 0°. However, every method I’ve tried—like quickly interpolating the angle, inserting a brief keyframe at 0°, or using a micro “bridge” animation—still causes a visible “flash” https://imgur.com/a/5ucjUb9 or "jump" when the rotation resets. I want a perfectly smooth motion from the flip’s final rotation to the swim’s initial rotation. If anyone has solved this in MCreator/GeckoLib, or found a better trick for handling the −360° →0° gap without a snap, I’d appreciate some advice ! P.S.- I cannot set swim to start at -360 because I would have the same issue but in reverse. Here's the custom LoopingAnimationGoal :   class LoopingAnimationGoal extends Goal { private final MantaRayEntity entity; private final int cooldownTime; private int animationTimer; private int cooldownTimer; // New boolean to prevent double calls private boolean isLoopingActive = false; public LoopingAnimationGoal(MantaRayEntity entity, int cooldownTime) { this.entity = entity; this.cooldownTime = cooldownTime; this.animationTimer = 0; this.cooldownTimer = 0; this.setFlags(EnumSet.of(Flag.MOVE, Flag.LOOK)); } @Override public boolean canUse() { System.out.println("[DEBUG] LoopingGoal canUse => cooldownTimer=" + cooldownTimer); if (cooldownTimer > 0) { cooldownTimer--; return false; } BlockPos entityPos = entity.blockPosition(); boolean canUse = entity.isWaterAbove(entityPos, 4); System.out.println("[DEBUG] LoopingGoal canUse => WATER " + (canUse ? "DETECTED" : "NOT DETECTED") + " at " + entityPos + ", returning " + canUse); return canUse; } @Override public void start() { entity.setAnimation("looping"); animationTimer = 63; isLoopingActive = true; System.out.println("[DEBUG] Looping animation STARTED. Timer=" + animationTimer + ", gameTime=" + entity.level().getGameTime()); } @Override public boolean canContinueToUse() { System.out.println("[DEBUG] LoopingGoal canContinueToUse => animationTimer=" + animationTimer); return animationTimer > 0; } @Override public void tick() { animationTimer--; System.out.println("[DEBUG] LoopingGoal TICK => animationTimer=" + animationTimer); // We stop ONLY if we are still looping if (animationTimer <= 0 && isLoopingActive) { System.out.println("[DEBUG] condition => animationTimer <= 0 && isLoopingActive"); stop(); } } @Override public void stop() { // Check if already stopped if (!isLoopingActive) { System.out.println("[DEBUG] stop() called again, but isLoopingActive = false. Doing nothing."); return; } System.out.println("[DEBUG] Looping STOP at tick=" + entity.level().getGameTime() + ", last known rotation=" + entity.getXRot() + "/" + entity.getYRot() + ", animationTimer=" + animationTimer); // Immediately switch to "swim" entity.setAnimation("swim"); // Reset cooldown cooldownTimer = cooldownTime; // Disable looping to prevent a second stop isLoopingActive = false; System.out.println("[DEBUG] Looping STOP => setAnimation('swim'), cooldownTimer=" + cooldownTimer); } }  
    • So is the intention of the crusher for ores meant to be used with a silk touch pickaxe or something? Cause that seems like too much effort just to profit off of the machine, when everything drops as raw materials now. Am I just missing something?
