[1.8]How do I render an item with a custom model?

[The_Fireplace]

Hi guys, I am trying to render an item with a custom model when the player is holding it. I found this tutorial, but RenderHelper.newRender[] doesn't exist anymore.

Another thing I have tried is setting the parent in the json to "builtin/entity", but there doesn't seem to be any way to set which entity it renders as.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, that helped some. That, though, is for blocks with tile entities. Is there any way to do it without making a "block" item?(I am messing around now with the idea of a "block" that functions only as an item but renders with that code)

Hi

 

If there is another way, I haven't found it.  If you can convert your model to the IBakedModel format, you've got plenty of options (eg ISmartItemModel, Item.getModel()) otherwise you might be stuck with TileEntity-and-dummy-block.
