Hey guys, I was wondering what I need to set a texture to the particles of a custom rendered block. I tried to use "setBlockTextureName()", but it seem not to work.

 

In addition, I also had some problems about collisions. I know that I need another method apart from "this.setBlockBounds(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);" which I believe that works only for blocks smaller that 1x1x1.

I passed the name of my texture in the block src folder, do I need to add .png? And yes, my block is larger than 1x1x1.

Path: FossilHunter.MODID + ":textures/blocks/", my mod id is all lowercase.

Really, so how do people do collision? Ghost blocks?

And the texture is in src/main/resources/assets/*modID*/textures/blocks/whatever.png?

Yes, it is.

What is your particle code so far?

 

AFAIK if you want to bind block textures, you need to override getFXLayer() and return 1 for block textures, for item textures it's 2 (and for vanilla particle textures it's 0)

Finally I figured it out! My texture was larger than 16x16. For some reason minecraft doesn't read images bigger then 16x16 for breaking particle. I didn't know that...

Interesting would be which exact resolution the image had. As long as the side of the texture is a multiple of 2 and the texture itself is a square (4x4, 8x8, 16x16 32x32 etc.) then there shouldn't be a problem.
