Posted February 9, 201411 yr How does one go about rendering a block/tile entity as a model in your inventory?
February 9, 201411 yr Use an IItemRenderer Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
February 9, 201411 yr Author Is there a better way to run the IItemRenderer without making a new Item(insertBlockNameHere)?
February 9, 201411 yr Not as of right now. IItemRenderer isn't even that hard, it's the best thing you can find as of now. (i think ;P)
February 9, 201411 yr Here's how I do mine: TileEntitySpecialRenderer render = new PedestalRenderer(); ClientRegistry.bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer(TileEntityDisplayPedestal.class, render); MinecraftForgeClient.registerItemRenderer(BlockPedestal.instance.blockID, new ItemRenderPedestal(render, new TileEntityDisplayPedestal())); public class ItemRenderPedestal implements IItemRenderer { TileEntitySpecialRenderer render; private TileEntity dummytile; public ItemRenderPedestal(TileEntitySpecialRenderer render, TileEntity dummy) { this.render = render; this.dummytile = dummy; } @Override public boolean handleRenderType(ItemStack item, ItemRenderType type) { return true; } @Override public boolean shouldUseRenderHelper(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item, ItemRendererHelper helper) { return true; } @Override public void renderItem(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item, Object... data) { if (type == IItemRenderer.ItemRenderType.ENTITY) GL11.glTranslatef(-0.5F, 0.0F, -0.5F); this.render.renderTileEntityAt(this.dummytile, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0F); } } } Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.
