true portals mod

[giacomo986]

Hello everyone,

 

I was writing a mod for true portals in minecraft and I made a video of that:

 

 

I'm posting an incomplete work because I'm tired to fight against minecraft rendering and I'm waiting for 1.8 to see if it will be easier to code.

 

If there are people interested in how it works, I'll share and comment the code.

That's cool, can you post the code?

[giacomo986]

ok, i'm posting the code.

 

https://github.com/giacomo986/trueportals

 

This code is uncommented but I'll try to explain here:

 

- the area is rendered multiple times.

- to render again the world i cloned some render function.

- to detect where to render i used opengl stencil functions

 

the best thing in that the portal works for all entity in game like mob or arrows.

 

If you need more explanations, ask here because it takes me a lot of time to write down all comments of the code

But is it recursive, though  great work, don't quit pls

 

- to detect where to render i used opengl stencil functions

, where do you do that and how? (exact source would be a good start) I didn't understand stencil functions, really =|

So its like the portal gun mod, but with only portals, and their expandable. yes. Support

ok, i'll try to finish it and i'll release the code.

 

i'll be not so fast because my real job is to be a farmer (not joking) so i have to code in my free time (like most of the people here)

Have you tried it with a minimap mod?

I saw this type of rendering having issues with minimaps.
