Block Textures With alpha?

[memcallen]

I'm making a steam block but I want it to be partially transparent, I've made a texture with the alpha set to 50ish, but it just acts like there's no texture. How could I make it so that it is partially transparent?

Either extend BlockGlass or put in the same methods.

ok

[memcallen]

in the constructor it has a material and a boolean what does the boolean do?

Just override getRenderBlockPass to return 1.

[memcallen]

it doesn't work...

Post a link to your texture, and your blocks code

public class SteamBlock extends Block{

public SteamBlock(){
super(Material.ground);//just for testing
this.setTextureName("gammacraft:Steam");
}

@Override
public int getRenderBlockPass(){
return 1;
}

}

 

I'm not at home so I can't be sure that this is correct or post a link to my texture but I think this is all the code that is needed.

 

also TheGreyGhost there is no link for me...
