1.19.2 Block entity renderer model forcing not working [1.19.2][SOLVED]

[RInventor7]

Hi! I'm trying to get my block entity rederer working, which in fact already works. When I set the RenderType to ENTITYBLOCK_ANIMATED then BER doesn't render anything. When I don't set it, then minecraft reders my block and BER redner's it again. If I change my BER's rotation or translation I wish to not see the original block model. So I set RenderType to ENTITYBLOCK_ANIMATED. The model isn't loaded by default, so I force the model to load myself using ModelEvent$RegisterAdditional event on the mod bus, but it's not doing anything. Subscribing works and the event fires noramally. Thanks for any help.

@SubscribeEvent
public static void registerBlockEntityModels(ModelEvent.RegisterAdditional event) {
    event.register(new ResourceLocation(MyMod.MOD_ID, "models/block/rail.json"));
}

ENTITYBLOCK_ANIMATED is not a RenderType (unless you created one with that name? - it would need to be lowercase if you did)

It is an enum value returned from your Block's getRenderShape() method.

Manually registering models won't do anything if you don't use them. It just forces minecraft/forge to prebake the model ready for use.

That was my mistake, I had remebered it incorrectly.

That's a good point. I understand I need to specify my model location in my BER render method by changing the ModelData argument, right?

blockRenderer.renderSingleBlock(bs, poseStack, bufferSource, combinedLight, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, ModelData.EMPTY, RenderType.cutout());

The problem is can't seem to find a way to specify my model's resource location anyhow...

ModelData modelData = ModelData.builder().with(somePropertySomething???).build();

Is this even the correct way or is it done differently?

ModelData modelData = ModelData.builder().with(new ModelProperty<>(), new ResourceLocation(MyMod.MOD_ID, "models/block/rail.json")).build();

This also doesn't seem to do anything... I'm probably doing it wrong? 

Are there any examples somewhere (I couldn't seem to find any)?

No you get the model from the ModelManager via the BlockEntityRenderProvider.Context.

e.g. https://github.com/AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2/blob/43afa73c3aa8f291fc085ee70459aa85711e408a/src/main/java/appeng/client/render/tesr/CrankRenderer.java#L53

 

ModelData is something you can attach to individual BlockEntities and use in rendering.

https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/blob/ab70bde1d648125acee073a93a25d4b8f08985c9/src/main/java/net/minecraftforge/common/extensions/IForgeBlockEntity.java#L167

I don't think it is that useful unless you using custom models?

If you are already doing dynamic rendering, you can just look directly at the block entity data.

That worked. Thanks for clarifying everything else.
