[SOLVED][Other quest.]render an item on a block

[Casual Dutchman]

Hi everyone,

I made a block, but I want an item to be rendered on it. like an itemframe, but then bigger.

I dont want to make a different model for the block, because others can make different textures for that item.

 

It would really help me out if you helped me.

 

thanks in advance

You need a block renderer with a reference to the ItemRenderer.

Then you can use the rendering from that to render the item.

That's my model for my custom block.  I render an item from there as well.

 

If you want the item bigger, why gl11.glScale() will do wonders.

and if I want to render the item as a sword rendered in hand. full3d.

This is great, but if you could help me with that, that would be amazing

Again... itemRenderer can render items in 3d.

Above code does render in 3D.  Because I'm rendering an item entity which (in vanilla) is a 3D object.

 

See?

I got two more things to ask.

 

How to always render the entityitems on fancy or how to not render the entityitem when graphics are set to fast?

 

And how to show the entityitem on game load?

 

I tried those thing, but I could not figure it out.

[Draco18s]

You cheat.

 

GameSettings settings = Minecraft.getMinecraft().settings;

 

That will have all of the settings (including fast/fancy graphics).  You can even change them (be sure to change them back when you're done!)

And how to I render the entityItems when I enter the world.

They now appear when I have right-clicked the container.

Client-server disparity.  You don't have getDescriptionPacket implemented.

 

Assuming your TE is writing its inventory to its NBT (otherwise items would vanish on save/load), then this is all you need:

 

        public Packet getDescriptionPacket() {
                NBTTagCompound nbtTag = new NBTTagCompound();
                this.writeToNBT(nbtTag);
                return new Packet132TileEntityData(this.xCoord, this.yCoord, this.zCoord, 1, nbtTag);
        }

        public void onDataPacket(INetworkManager net, Packet132TileEntityData packet) {
                readFromNBT(packet.data);
        }

This methode is different in 1.7. which classes or methodes do I need you use now?

[SanAndreaP]

look at the TileEntity superclass, the methods are called the same.

 

Here is my tileentity for reference:

Thanks, that worked.
