[SOLVED] 1.19 Custom Entity not rendering

[Airn]

I can spawn the entity (using the summon command inside the game), their hitbox shows when using F3 B. The problem is that it is not rendering. Am I missing something?

I have the texture file at 'src\main\resources\assets\stepladder\textures\entity\ladder.png'

 

Main Class

@Mod(LadderMod.MODID)
public class LadderMod {
    public static final String MODID = "stepladder";

    public static final RegistryObject<EntityType<LadderEntity>> LADDER = ENTITIES.register("ladder",
            () -> EntityType.Builder.<LadderEntity>of(LadderEntity::new, MobCategory.MISC)
                    .build(String.valueOf(new ResourceLocation(MODID, "ladder"))));

    public LadderMod() {
        IEventBus modEventBus = FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus();
        ENTITIES.register(modEventBus);
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);
    }

    @Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = MODID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD)
    public static class ClientModEvents {
        @SubscribeEvent
        public static void registerLayers(EntityRenderersEvent.RegisterLayerDefinitions event) {
            event.registerLayerDefinition(LadderModel.LAYER_LOCATION, LadderModel::createBodyLayer);
        }

        @SubscribeEvent
        public static void registerRenderers(EntityRenderersEvent.RegisterRenderers event) {

You haven't overriden EntityRenderer.render()

So the only thing the game will draw is the nametag.

You mean something like this? inside my Renderer Class? Because although the method is being called, it still doesn't render

    @Override
    public void render(T pEntity, float pEntityYaw, float pPartialTicks, PoseStack pMatrixStack, MultiBufferSource pBuffer, int pPackedLight) {
        pMatrixStack.pushPose();
        pMatrixStack.translate(0.0D, -0.626D, 0.0D);
        pMatrixStack.scale(1F, 1F, 1F);
        VertexConsumer vertexconsumer = pBuffer.getBuffer(this.model.renderType(_texture));
        this.model.renderToBuffer(pMatrixStack, vertexconsumer, pPackedLight, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, 1.0F, 1.0F, 1.0F, 1.0F);
        pMatrixStack.popPose();
        
        super.render(pEntity, pEntityYaw, pPartialTicks, pMatrixStack, pBuffer, pPackedLight);
    }

Have you tried using your debugger to see why your model is not rendering anything?

Personally, I know little to nothing about entity models, and even if I did, I am not going to try to parse what your model is actually doing to find the error.

You using your debugger will be much faster and you will learn how it works while doing it.

 

I can also tell this is one of those "I will write my entity from scratch" things.

The minecraft Entity has like a million policy methods which if you don't use them properly your entity will be broken.

Another reason why I am not going to try parse your code to see what you are missing.

 

Copy a vanilla entity and when you have confirmed it works, change it to your needs.

That way you will know which part is broken, it is the part you just changed.

I found the problem. I thought that it would render the entire thing, but it turns out that I was only rendering the "head" part on my Model Class.

Well, thanks for the help.
