As the topic says, is there an easy way to do this? I want an item to lay flat on a block. EntityItem.age somewhat works, but it makes the render item vibrate back and forth.

Don't use RenderHelper for ENTITY render type.

Then what should I use?

Hi

 

I'd suggest you use an IItemRenderer for your item, and return false for the ENTITY_ROTATION ItemRendererHelper.

 

There are a few tutorials around on IItemRenderer.

Also this link with background information (see the Item Rendering sections)
