Hello, I want to make it so that a certain part of my mob model is rendered as a portal to the end. Using the second layer I was able to render a second model with the portal effect, but I don't need the whole model. How to fix this?
(This is a test mob, I want to render its head as a portal).

Current code:

Constructor of Renderer
public MegovidRenderer(EntityRendererProvider.Context pContext) {
        super(pContext, new MegovidModel<>(pContext.bakeLayer(ModModelLayers.MEGOVID_LAYER)), 0.5f);
        this.addLayer(new MegovidHeadRenderer(this));
    }

 

Register renderer
@SubscribeEvent
        public static void onClientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) {
            EntityRenderers.register(ModEntities.MEGOVID.get(), MegovidRenderer::new);
        }

 

HeadRenderer
public class MegovidHeadRenderer<T extends LivingEntity> extends RenderLayer<T, MegovidModel<T>> {
    private static final RenderType GATEWAY = RenderType.endGateway();

    public MegovidHeadRenderer(RenderLayerParent<T, MegovidModel<T>> pRenderer) {
        super(pRenderer);
    }

    @Override
    public void render(PoseStack poseStack, MultiBufferSource multiBufferSource, int i, T t, float v, float v1, float v2, float v3, float v4, float v5) {
        poseStack.pushPose();
        poseStack.translate(0,-2,0);
        this.getParentModel().renderToBuffer(
                poseStack,
                multiBufferSource.getBuffer(this.renderType()),
                15728640,
                OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY,
                1.0F, 1.0F, 1.0F, 1.0F);
        poseStack.popPose();
    }

    private RenderType renderType() {
        return GATEWAY;
    }
}

I know this is not help but this is such a cool idea! I would play this mod in a heartbeat hopefully you can get it fixed 😢

I figured out how to solve this problem.
You need to make a custom renderToBuffer in the model file.

Current Code:

HeadRenderer

public class MegovidHeadRenderer<T extends LivingEntity> extends RenderLayer<T, MegovidModel<T>> {
    private static final RenderType GATEWAY = RenderType.endGateway();

    public MegovidHeadRenderer(RenderLayerParent<T, MegovidModel<T>> pRenderer) {
        super(pRenderer);
    }

    @Override
    public void render(PoseStack poseStack, MultiBufferSource multiBufferSource, int i, T t, float v, float v1, float v2, float v3, float v4, float v5) {
        this.getParentModel().renderToBufferCUSTOM(
                poseStack,
                multiBufferSource.getBuffer(GATEWAY),
                15728640,
                OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY,
                1.0F, 1.0F, 1.0F, 1.0F);
    }
}

 

Model file

public void renderToBufferCUSTOM(PoseStack poseStack, VertexConsumer vertexConsumer, int packedLight, int packedOverlay, float red, float green, float blue, float alpha) {
		poseStack.translate(0,1.5,0);
		head.render(poseStack, vertexConsumer, packedLight, packedOverlay, red, green, blue, alpha);
	}

Result:

Awesome, if its possible please tell me when this will be released this is so cool!
