I'm trying to create seaweed for a custom dimension, but when you place a transparent block in water, the side of the water is rendered when looking at the block. Is there a way to stop this?

Hi

 

Yes-  shouldSideBeRendered()

That didn't work, since to is the side of the water being rendered, not the custom block. It works if I use Material.water, but then I can't place the block on top of itself.

Have you tried Material.coral? It might work.

Ah, I think I understand what you're saying now.

 

Looking at the vanilla, I doubt there is another way.  Perhaps you could make it Material.water, figure out what is stopping the block from being placed on top of itself, and work around that.

MaterialLiquid has replaceable set to true. I tried:

private final String[] replaceable = {"J", "field_76239_H", "replaceable"};
...
ObfuscationReflectionHelper.setPrivateValue(Material.class, Material.water, false, replaceable);

and it didn't work. Did I do something wrong, or will reflection just not work?

Fixed it by creating an Item similar to ItemReed for the block

nice one.
