I having difficulty setting up textures for a custom fluid in Forge  1.8...

The fluid works fine, except it is invisible. Boats will rise to the top of the invisible fluid and it removes grass blocks as it spreads, though I very much would like to add my own custom texture!!

 

I've noticed that these errors come up as my mod gets pre-initialized:

I have a block model JSON file in "assets/mymod/models/block"  set up as follows, and I'm not sure what i need to change/add....

 

{
    "parent": "block/cube_all",
    "textures": {
        "all": "mymod:blocks/fluid_custom"
    }
}

 

I also have my 16x16 texture here: "assets/mymod/textures/blocks/fluid_custom.png"

 

How do I get a basic 16x16 texture to wrap like the water texture does??

(just with the same texture for each block, and no animations)

 

 

 

My class setup:

 

In my MainRegistry class:

@EventHandler
    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
    {
    	fluidCustom = new FluidCustom("Custom Fluid");
    	FluidRegistry.registerFluid(fluidCustom);    	
        blockFluidCustom = new BlockFluidCustom().setUnlocalizedName("blockFluidCustom");
    	GameRegistry.registerBlock(blockFluidCustom, ((BlockFluidCustom) blockFluidCustom).name );
    }

 

FluidCustom:

public class FluidCustom extends Fluid {

public FluidCustom(String fluidName) {
	super(fluidName);
	this.setDensity(100);
	this.setViscosity(3000);
}

}

 

BlockFluidCustom:

public class BlockFluidCustom extends BlockFluidClassic {

public static final String name = "fluid_custom";

public BlockFluidCustom() {
	super(MainRegistry.fluidCustom, Material.water);
}

}

 

I've also noticed that there is the method  setIcons(TextureAtlasSprite arg0) in the Fluid class..  would I need to use that to set my texture??

 

helpppp plissss

 

Ok so I've figured out why the error was happening... but the fluid still renders invisible...

inside my assets/mymod/blockstates/fluid_custom.json, I added all of the variants that a fluid block looks for:

 

{
    "variants": {
        "normal": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=0": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=1": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=2": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=3": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=4": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=5": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=6": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=7": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=8": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=9": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=10": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=11": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=12": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=13": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" },
        "level=14": { "model": "mymod:fluid_custom" }
    }
}

 

I appreciate anyone who is trying to help with this issue, as I haven't seen anyone else implement custom fluids in Forge for 1.8!!

So I've just read that Forge for 1.8 does not yet support custom fluid rendering...

oops!
