[1.7.10] Binding Textures

[ryancpexpert]

I'm trying to bind a texture to my item, but it appears not to be working, i'm using ForgeHooksClient.bindTexture(). Is it in a different class in 1.7, or a new method?

[brandon3055]

do you mean you are trying to set the item texture? if so you are doing it very wrong.

Or are you using a custom item renderer?

yeah i agree, to set a texture one way is to put

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

  public void registerIcons(IIconRegister par1IconRegister)

  {

  this.itemIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon(Mod_Id + ":Texture_name");

 

  }

Or, better yet, call

setTextureName("modid:name")

in the constructor.

Custom item renders, am aware of using setTextureName, trying to give the item a model whilst in hand.

then use

Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine.bindTexture(new ResourceLocation(**your mod in lower case** , "textures/models/YOURIMAGE.png"));
