if you need another class to look at please ask. i have spent several days on this and cannot find the solution on my own

Before reading through your code, simple questions. 

 

Where did you tell minecraft to use this render for your entity?

 

Have you verified that your entity has spawned and hasn't gone poof?

oh.... turns out what i thought was the entity doing it's job, was actually a completley different block :L... i know the problem now
