so, i am trying to update my dagger, the entity and the item class are all fine and work, there are no errors in those or the render dagger class, however no matter what i do i cannot seem to make the dagger entity render properly. I think the problem is from the this.loadtexture is the old way to bind the texture to the entity and the new method is a bit convoluted and just new ok so the path to the texture i am trying to use it "/Minecraft/src/assets/ashtonsmod/textures/gui/dagger.png"

i have copied the arrow class just to try and get it to work, so yeah here is the class.

Thanks for your help in advance, i have been trying to solve this for a while and it is my last problem with my mod and i know some of you have seen this before in my last updating post.

Did you register your renderer on client side ?

 

Remove all this

Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine.func_110577_a(myresourcelocation);

protected ResourceLocation func_110779_a(EntityDagger par1EntityDagger)
    {
        return myresourcelocation;
    }

Change with this

protected ResourceLocation func_110775_a(Entity par1Entity)
    {
        return myresourcelocation;
    }

 

 

My bad.

where are the vanilla entities registered? the snowball entity in particular;

 

or  RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityRockSnowball.class, new RenderRockSnowball(X));

what goes in the brackets instead of the X

 

i know this is simple but i am tired

ok so the 3 tuts i have read say it should reference the item class but when i do this is says cannot be resolved to type, and would you like to create the class so i guess i'm referencing it wrong.

 

RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityRockSnowball.class, new RenderRockSnowball(ashtonsmod.RockSnowball));

i dont think your renderer needs to know about which item it renders, it pretty much just needs to know how to render wtv you're asking it to do

 

new RenderRockSnowball(ashtonsmod.RockSnowball)//bold probably not required or adding giving any information to the renderer
