How would one create a box in a 3D model that has a texture of another block? I tried finding the render Tripwirehook class for reference but I couldn't find it. I I want it to be like the base of a tripwire hook or the border of the itemframe. But I don't know how.

I thought that was how it was until 1.6.

 

It's used in so many block and entities, yet I have no idea on how to do it. Can someone tell me how to put something like the wool texture on to another block. I have seen this on things like the Tripwire, but there is a lack of understandable code explaining how they did this.

 

also, when is 1.8 forge coming out? does it have to do with the Microsoft Buying? the new(ish) EULA?

 

 

Hi

 

"Copying" a vanilla texture is easy.  Just look at the vanilla block and use the same texture name for your own block.

If you want to use it on a non-block (say - a tileentity or an entity), you can

Bind the block texture sheet,

            this.mc.getTextureManager().bindTexture(TextureMap.locationBlocksTexture);

Retrieve the vanilla block's IIcon eg

  Blocks.wool getIcon

Retrieve the texture coordinates from the IIcon get U and get V methods, then

Render the face using the tessellator
