How to disable rendering for some sides from specified blocks

[rafradek]

I want to implement a List filled with arrays, containing information about coordinates of the block and which side should not be rendered. Unfortunately there are no hooks for rendering blocks, so i am probably forced to modify RenderBlock class directly, but that will cause installation and compatibility problems. Is there another way to do it?

Block.class

public boolean shouldSideBeRendered(IBlockAccess iblockaccess, x, y, z, side)
    {
        return true;
    }

Block.class

public boolean shouldSideBeRendered(IBlockAccess iblockaccess, x, y, z, side)
    {
        return true;
    }

 

LOL this is a good way to make serious lag.

Hi

 

There are lots of ways to render blocks without modifying RenderBlock. 

Block.getBlockTexture, ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler, TileEntitySpecialRenderer.

This link might help.  See the Block Rendering sections in particular.

A quick google on those keywords should also bring up plenty of tutorials.

 

Why do you want to store the "dont render this side" information in separate arrays, rather than in metadata or in TileEntity?
