Is it possible to have a custom block renderer without needing a block entity?

Hi,

So I've been wanting to try and find out how to have a custom block renderer without having to use a block entity (for optimization purposes).

My actual block does not actually use anything block entity related (like saving and loading data). It's really only a block entity for the custom renderer.

If normal blocks can have their own custom renderer without needing a block entity then how would I go about doing this? 

To be more in depth on what I'm actually doing; I have GLSL shaders and I'm basically wanting to render the shader as simple block (Here is my utility class that draws the block).

Thanks :)

If what you are drawing is relatively static, i.e. doesn't depend upon dynamic data beyond things like the block properties in the BlockState,

then you can create your own model loader:

https://docs.minecraftforge.net/en/1.20.x/rendering/modelloaders/

 

This basically lets you setup most things at resourcepack loading time during the model bake.

At runtime it will ask you for your quads (you should have prebaked these for each BlockState of your block):

https://docs.minecraftforge.net/en/1.20.x/rendering/modelloaders/bakedmodel/#getquads

https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/blob/1.20.x/src/main/java/net/minecraftforge/client/model/IDynamicBakedModel.java#L35

 

This is not something I have ever done myself. I just know it exists. So I can't really help you with the details.

Forge has a builtin OBJ model loader: https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/tree/1.20.x/src/main/java/net/minecraftforge/client/model/obj

and I know immersive engineering uses some custom models: https://github.com/BluSunrize/ImmersiveEngineering/tree/1.19.2/src/main/java/blusunrize/immersiveengineering/client/models

Boilerplate:

If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.

If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install

Large files should be posted to a file sharing site like https://gist.github.com  You should also read the support forum sticky post.

      Exit code ''-1''

      By Asun0304 · Posted

      I have installed Forge 1000 times and in different versions, but every time I enter a server or world, it loads the entire square and then it says ''Saving world''. After that, Minecraft closes and the launcher opens with a window displaying error code ''-1''. I don't even have any mods installed, it doesn't let me join any world or server. I contacted Minecraft support, and they told me to talk to you. I hope you can help me with this issue, I'm waiting for your response.

      I need help with a Mixin Class to inject into a Method

      By Jonas Handtke · Posted

      I'm trying to make a Event that is fired if a Player is swimming. Here is the Event Class: public class PlayerSwimEvent extends PlayerEvent { public PlayerSwimEvent(Player player) { super(player); } } Here is the Hooks (similar to ForgeHooks Class) that has Methods for the Events: public class EventHooks { public static void onPlayerSwim(Player player) { MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.post(new PlayerSwimEvent(player)); } } And here is the Mixin Class: @Mixin(value = Player.class) public class MixinPlayerSwimEvent { @Inject(method = "isSwimming", at = @At("HEAD")) public boolean isSwimming(CallbackInfoReturnable<Boolean> cir) { Player player = null; if (!player.getAbilities().flying && !player.isSpectator()) { EventHooks.onPlayerSwim(player); } return cir.getReturnValue(); } } My Issue is now that I don't get it to work because of the missing Parameter Player. Can someone help with this?
