Alpha/Faded texture in blocks

[KritX01]

Hello, I would like to know if anyone knows how to do the alpha/faded texture in blocks like the stained glass from tinkers contruct or these jars from thaumcraft in the img bellow. I guess it's some kind of custom render...

Hi

 

If you know OpenGL already, try ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler, or alternatively a Pass 1 render.

Hi

 

Some info on the tessellator here

Alpha blending in minecraft is usually done using

          GL11.glEnable(GL11.GL_BLEND);
          GL11.glBlendFunc(GL11.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL11.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);

Your image will need to have alpha channels, or optionally you can set its alpha using eg

          GL11.glColor4f(red, green, blue, alpha);
