Hello, after I finally figured out how to actually render and translate a model part, it's behaving in a way I do not understand: the video explains it better, but it looks like the arm is going down and then it's not getting rendered anymore, which is very confusing. I also couldn't find any github repositories or other topics that could be helpful for this.

 

This is my RenderArmEvent handler/hook: https://gist.github.com/DrNickenstein/b6c9e6178729111bab9d20382059d53b

The event determines how the arm is rendered. You are rendering the arm at an offset, and the offset is applied when you swing your arm on top of the offset already for that animation. As such, it works exactly as you wrote it.

I don't think I understand: in the clip I'm not swinging my arm at all and it should not be moving at all, I thought translating the poseStack would just translate my arm not animate it?

 

Edit:

To be clear: my question is, why on earth is the arm moving and then disappearing?

An animation is playing when you swing the item on attack or use.

It's going back to where it was originally rendered.

Ok this would make sense if I was either using the item, attacking or swinging my arm. In this case, I'm not, so why is the arm moving? And if that determines an animation, where should I put the code to move the arm so that it doesn't move?

Swapping the items in the hand also plays an animation, so it's probably that.

Why not just leave the rendering alone and let it play it's animation? Also, why not just play the animation only when using the item.

Oh yeah in that case that could be it

I need rendering because normally the left arm is not rendered in first person when holding an item, correct? I could render it only when using the item, sure, but still it's not meant to move or be animated at all, I wanted to just render it on the left side of the screen.

I would look at ItemInHandRenderer to see how the hand is rendered and essentially copy the logic in RenderHandEvent, check for offhand rendering when mainhand has your item, and render the left hand. Pretty much need to copy #renderPlayerArm.

I copied the function and edited the variables that I couldn't get (swingProgress and equippedProgress), trying to replicate what they would be from my understanding. The arm is moving differently now but it's still twitching, moving around and then disappearing. Would using an AT make sense here to change the access modifier of renderPlayerArm or not?

 

	@SubscribeEvent
	public void renderInjectedArm(RenderArmEvent event) {

		AbstractClientPlayer player = event.getPlayer();
		MultiBufferSource source = event.getMultiBufferSource();
		PoseStack poseStack = new PoseStack();
		int combinedLight = event.getPackedLight();

		Minecraft minecraft = Minecraft.getInstance();
		Item mainHandItem = player.getMainHandItem().getItem();
		ItemStack offHandItem = player.getOffhandItem();
		PlayerRenderer renderer = (PlayerRenderer)minecraft.getEntityRenderDispatcher().getRenderer(player);

		if(event.getArm() == HumanoidArm.RIGHT && mainHandItem instanceof EndiriumMetalSyringe && offHandItem.isEmpty()) {

			float partialTicks = minecraft.getPartialTick();
			float equippedProgress = partialTicks - Mth.lerp(partialTicks, 1, 1);
			float f = -1.0F;
			float f1 = Mth.sqrt(partialTicks);
			float f2 = -0.3F * Mth.sin(f1 * (float)Math.PI);
			float f3 = 0.4F * Mth.sin(f1 * ((float)Math.PI * 2F));
			float f4 = -0.4F * Mth.sin(partialTicks * (float)Math.PI);
			poseStack.translate(f * (f2 + 0.64000005F), f3 + -0.6F + equippedProgress * -0.6F, f4 + -0.71999997F);
			poseStack.mulPose(Axis.YP.rotationDegrees(f * 45.0F));
			float f5 = Mth.sin(partialTicks * partialTicks * (float)Math.PI);
			float f6 = Mth.sin(f1 * (float)Math.PI);
			poseStack.mulPose(Axis.YP.rotationDegrees(f * f6 * 70.0F));
			poseStack.mulPose(Axis.ZP.rotationDegrees(f * f5 * -20.0F));
			RenderSystem.setShaderTexture(0, player.getSkinTextureLocation());
			poseStack.translate(f * -1.0F, 3.6F, 3.5F);
			poseStack.mulPose(Axis.ZP.rotationDegrees(f * 120.0F));
			poseStack.mulPose(Axis.XP.rotationDegrees(200.0F));
			poseStack.mulPose(Axis.YP.rotationDegrees(f * -135.0F));
			poseStack.translate(f * 5.6F, 0.0F, 0.0F);
			renderer.renderLeftHand(poseStack, source, combinedLight, player);
			poseStack.popPose();
			System.out.println("Left arm rendered");

		}

	}

This is my code right now in case it's needed

Again, use RenderHandEvent and check if you are rendering the offhand. Cancel the event if the hand has your item in the mainhand and no item in the current hand. Then, render the offhand. You are given the variables necessary to properly render it since you are currently neglecting two values.

You could if you wanted, makes no difference as long as the logic is correct.

Oh, thank you, it works now! Although I didn't really understand what I was doing wrong before, is it the fact that canceling the event nullifies all of the changes vanilla normally applies to the arm or is there something else I should understand?

There were just two rendering changes which affected where the hand was rendered that you didn't take into account.
