Hello Everyone!

in renderblocks:

public class RenderBlocks
{
// ...
    public boolean renderBlockByRenderType(Block par1Block, int par2, int par3, int par4)
    {
        int var5 = par1Block.getRenderType();
        par1Block.setBlockBoundsBasedOnState(this.blockAccess, par2, par3, par4);
        switch (var5)
        {
// ...
        default:
            return FMLRenderAccessLibrary.renderWorldBlock(this, blockAccess, par2, par3, par4, par1Block, var5);
        }

// ...
    public boolean renderPistonBase(Block par1Block, int par2, int par3, int par4, boolean par5)
    {
        int var6 = this.blockAccess.getBlockMetadata(par2, par3, par4);
        boolean var7 = par5 || (var6 &  != 0;
        int var8 = BlockPistonBase.getOrientation(var6);
//... EOF

 

I want to render block, that has orientation, like a piston, exactly like a piston, but meta is block type and behavior, so i can't use meta, but i cannot use default piston renderer because of heavy binding to meta value.

 

How can i easily render it?

 

it is a block family, that must be rotated by wrench/screwdriver, i want something like rp does with it's blocks.

Use a custom block renderer.

Great idea, but where is documentation how to do it?
