Hi,

I'm having trouble with making blocks that don't take up the full area of a block.

I've tried copying code from carpet blocks, but that doesn't seem to be working.

Here's an image showing the problem:

On the left is a block that's meant to be a coconut. On the right is a block that's meant to be a cutting board.

As the game mistakenly believes that they are full blocks, it does not render the grass blocks below them, resulting in an unintended x-ray effect.

Here's the code of the related files:

block/custom/CoconutBlock.java:

package com.realicraft.rckitchen.block.custom;

import net.minecraft.world.level.block.Block;

public class CoconutBlock extends Block {

    public CoconutBlock(Properties properties) {
        super(properties);
    }
}

block/custom/CuttingBoardBlock.java:

package com.realicraft.rckitchen.block.custom;

import net.minecraft.core.BlockPos;
import net.minecraft.world.level.BlockGetter;
import net.minecraft.world.level.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.world.level.block.state.BlockBehaviour;
import net.minecraft.world.level.block.state.BlockState;
import net.minecraft.world.phys.shapes.CollisionContext;
import net.minecraft.world.phys.shapes.VoxelShape;

public class CuttingBoardBlock extends Block {
    protected static final VoxelShape SHAPE = Block.box(0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, 16.0D, 1.0D, 16.0D);

    public CuttingBoardBlock(BlockBehaviour.Properties properties) {
        super(properties);
    }

    public VoxelShape getShape(BlockState p_152917_, BlockGetter p_152918_, BlockPos p_152919_, CollisionContext p_152920_) {
        return SHAPE;
    }
}

(Some of this code has been copied from the java file for carpet blocks.)

block/ModBlocks.java:

package com.realicraft.rckitchen.block;

import com.realicraft.rckitchen.block.custom.CoconutBlock;
import com.realicraft.rckitchen.block.custom.CuttingBoardBlock;
import com.realicraft.rckitchen.item.ModCreativeModeTab;
import com.realicraft.rckitchen.item.ModItems;
import com.realicraft.rckitchen.rcKitchen;
import net.minecraft.world.item.BlockItem;
import net.minecraft.world.item.CreativeModeTab;
import net.minecraft.world.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.world.level.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.world.level.block.state.BlockBehaviour;
import net.minecraft.world.level.material.Material;
import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.IEventBus;
import net.minecraftforge.registries.DeferredRegister;
import net.minecraftforge.registries.ForgeRegistries;
import net.minecraftforge.registries.RegistryObject;

import java.util.function.Supplier;

public class ModBlocks {
    public static final DeferredRegister<Block> BLOCKS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.BLOCKS, rcKitchen.MODID);

    public static final RegistryObject<Block> COCONUT_BLOCK = registerBlock("coconut_block", () -> new CoconutBlock(BlockBehaviour.Properties.of(Material.WEB)), ModCreativeModeTab.KITCHEN_TAB);
    public static final RegistryObject<Block> CUTTING_BOARD = registerBlock("cutting_board", () -> new CuttingBoardBlock(BlockBehaviour.Properties.of(Material.WOOD)), ModCreativeModeTab.KITCHEN_TAB);

    private static <T extends Block>RegistryObject<T> registerBlock(String name, Supplier<T> block, CreativeModeTab tab) {
        RegistryObject<T> toReturn = BLOCKS.register(name, block);
        registerBlockItem(name, toReturn, tab);
        return toReturn;
    };

    private static <T extends Block>RegistryObject<Item> registerBlockItem(String name, RegistryObject<T> block, CreativeModeTab tab) {
        return ModItems.ITEMS.register(name, () -> new BlockItem(block.get(), new Item.Properties().tab(tab)));
    };

    public static void register(IEventBus eventBus) {
        BLOCKS.register(eventBus);
    }
}

Try adding a call to '.noOcclusion()' on the BlockBehaviour.Properties when you create the block.

This seems to have fixed the x-ray issue. Thanks!

Glad you were able to get it working!
