Derp, me being blind. You need your modId prefixed before your texture name in the texture name:

*modID*:*block name*

 

Hmm, I'm having the exact same problem with the break particles.  Here are my classes:

 

BlockUnknownEgg:

package com.caske2000.carnivores.blocks;

import com.caske2000.carnivores.Carnivores;
import com.caske2000.carnivores.tileentities.TileEntityUnknownEgg;

import net.minecraft.block.BlockContainer;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class BlockUnknownEgg extends BlockContainer {

protected BlockUnknownEgg(Material material) {
	super(material);
	this.setHardness(2.0F);
	this.setResistance(5.0F);
	this.setCreativeTab(Carnivores.carnivoresTab);
	this.setBlockBounds(0F, 0F, 0F, 1.0F, 1.125F, 1.0F);
}

public int getRenderType()
{
	return -1;

}

public boolean isOpaqueCube(){
	return false;
}

public boolean renderAsNormalBlock()
{
	return false;
}

@Override
public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World p_149915_1_, int p_149915_2_) {

	return new TileEntityUnknownEgg();
}

}

 

RenderUnknownEgg:

 

package com.caske2000.carnivores.render;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.tileentity.TileEntitySpecialRenderer;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;

import org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11;

import com.caske2000.carnivores.model.ModelUnknownEgg;
import com.caske2000.carnivores.reference.Reference;

public class RenderUnknownEgg extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer{

private static final ResourceLocation texture = new ResourceLocation(Reference.MODID + ":" + "textures/blocks/unknownEgg.png");

private ModelUnknownEgg model;

public RenderUnknownEgg() {
	this.model = new ModelUnknownEgg();
}

@Override
public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity tileentity, double x, double y, double z, float f) {
	GL11.glPushMatrix();
	GL11.glTranslatef((float) x + 0.5F, (float) y + 1.5F, (float) z + 0.5F);
	GL11.glRotatef(180, 0F, 0F, 1F);
	this.bindTexture(texture);

	GL11.glPushMatrix();
	this.model.renderModel(0.0625F);
	GL11.glPopMatrix();

	GL11.glPopMatrix();

}

}

Yes.  Using setBlockTextureName.  Btw, it seems to be giving an error saying that it is missing a mapping.  Why is this?

Did you set it to the same texture as the one for the model? If so, what are its dimensions?

Did you set it to the same texture as the one for the model? If so, what are its dimensions?

 

Actually, I erred in that respect.  The block texture was for a custom modeled block, modeled with Techne and the texture was set through the ResourceLocation field.  The dimensions of the texture are 128x128.  As it is a Techne model, it required such dimensions.

As I said earlier, this block was modeled via Techne, and had its texture added via a ResourceLocation.

Post the class where you register your block.

Well, then, how am I going to get the texture to work?

Make 2 textures, one for the techne model, and a 16x16 normal block texture that will show up as the particles. Sort of like how chests display oak wood particles when they are broken.

Do I put the 16x16 texture's name in the setBlockTextureName thing?  I did that, and it gave me an error

java.io.FileNotFoundException: minecraft:textures/blocks/unknownEggParticles.png

 

 

 

Ok, that's all done and over with.  Now a new problem.  I set up the block to render in hand, and it renders completely invisible.  I made sure to register the TileEntity as well. 

 

ItemRenderUnknownEggOpen.java:

package com.caske2000.carnivores.render;

import org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.tileentity.TileEntitySpecialRenderer;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraftforge.client.IItemRenderer;

public class ItemRenderUnknownEggOpen implements IItemRenderer {

TileEntitySpecialRenderer render;
private TileEntity entity;

public ItemRenderUnknownEggOpen(TileEntitySpecialRenderer render, TileEntity entity){
	this.entity = entity;
	this.render = render;
}


@Override
public boolean handleRenderType(ItemStack item, ItemRenderType type) {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	return true;
}

@Override
public boolean shouldUseRenderHelper(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item,
		ItemRendererHelper helper) {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	return true;
}

@Override
public void renderItem(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item, Object... data) {
	if(type == IItemRenderer.ItemRenderType.ENTITY){
		GL11.glTranslatef(-0.5F, 0.0F, -0.5F);
		this.render.renderTileEntityAt(this.entity, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0F);
	}

}

}

I cannot find a tutorial on the forge forums.  Anywhere else I can look?  I've even googled it, and it shows stuff that is not related to my problem.

Look at https://github.com/Eternaldoom/ChaosBeasts/blob/master/com/chaosmodders/chaosbeasts/items/rendering/ItemRendererLobsterStatue.java

I've got exactly the same type of code, of course referring to my block.

 

Edit:  Redid the last method similar to EternalDoom's class(with my fields of course), and it renders correctly in hand.  Thank you Eternal.

get rid of if(type == IItemRenderer.ItemRenderType.ENTITY)

Ok, I'm going to start a new topic on adding custom sounds.  I'm trying to create a special Sounds file and add custom .ogg files for new gun items.
