I am trying to render an item which looks different in first person and third person view. And in vanillia minecraft, filled map is the only item satisfies it.

I read the code but got confused. I didn't find the methods rendering hands and map, and even json model named "item/filled_map" is rendered.

So I need help about rendering mechanism of filled map. And is it feasible to render my own items in this way?

You can probably hack that by using Item.getModel, where you return a different model depending on whether the current view is first person or third person.

 

Custom rendering like the map can probably be done the same way, perhaps using ISmartItemModel. 

 

Maps are rendered as a "special case" in ItemRenderer.renderItemInFirstPerson() - see           

if (this.itemToRender.getItem() == Items.filled_map)

            {

                this.func_178097_a(entityplayersp, f3, f1, f2);

            }

It probably won't be much help to you...

Thanks a lot.

But my Item.getModel looks like this:

public ModelResourceLocation getModel(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer player, int useRemaining) { ... }

There's no camera informations in this method. I don't know whether it's first person or third.

public ModelResourceLocation getModel(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer player, int useRemaining) { ... }

There's no camera informations in this method. I don't know whether it's first person or third.

 

Inside the player perhaps?

Minecraft.getMinecraft().gameSettings.thirdPersonView

Minecraft.getMinecraft().gameSettings.thirdPersonView

 

Considering multiplayer:

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public ModelResourceLocation getModel(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer player, int useRemaining) {
	Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getMinecraft();
	boolean isFirstPersonView = mc.thePlayer.getUniqueID().equals(player.getUniqueID()) &&
			mc.gameSettings.thirdPersonView == 0;
	if(isFirstPersonView) {
		/* ... */
	} else {
		/* ... */
	}
	return null;
}

 

Thank you, TGG.
