Hello, just wanted to know if there is a way to import Google SketchUp (or Blender) models into Minecraft? If it's possible, can the models work as items, blocks and mobs? Also, if it is possible, I would love to know how to do it! Thanks!

Thanks, I'll try it

I have given it a go, but how do I do this for an item?

MinecraftForgeClient.registerItemRenderer(ModClass.youritem, new YourItemRenderer());

 

YourItemRenderer must implement IItemRenderer.

 

@Override
    public void renderItem(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item, Object... data) {
        switch (type) {

            case EQUIPPED:
//render code
                break;

            case EQUIPPED_FIRST_PERSON:
//render code
                break;

            case ENTITY:
//render code                
                break;

            case INVENTORY:
//render code               
                break;

            default:
                break;
        }
    }
    @Override
    public boolean handleRenderType(ItemStack item, ItemRenderType type) {
        return true; //render all variants
    }

 

Just a heads up for sketchup models... They throw a tonne of errors if you try and import the object that has been exported straight from Sketchup. I always have to import to blender, then export again.

 

Yeah... Painful.
