Hello,

 

I was wondering if there was a way to render one texture on top of another using 1.8's block models. For example, something like:

{
     "parent": "block/cube_all",
     "textures": {
          "all": {
               "layer0":  "blocks/stone",
               "layer1":  "blocks/torch"
          }
     }
}

would display a block with the texture of stone with the texture of a torch on top. I know you can do this with custom textures, I just wondered if it was possible to do it with layers.

 

Note: this is NOT a question about 3d block modelling

 

Note 2: sorry about any inaccuracies in the above model, I'm away from my computer.

 

Note 3: if any part of this question is unclear, ask about it - it's quite a hard thing to explain.

 

Hi

 

There are a couple of ways I can think of

- either make your model with faces that overlap (eg two east faces) - don't forget to move one face out by a very small amount (say 0.001) to make sure it renders in front of the other one; or

- render in multiple render layers (SOLID, CUTOUT, CUTOUT_MIPPED, TRANSLUCENT)  using

Block
    /**
     * Queries if this block should render in a given layer.
     * ISmartBlockModel can use MinecraftForgeClient.getRenderLayer to alter their model based on layer
     */
    public boolean canRenderInLayer(EnumWorldBlockLayer layer)
    {
        return getBlockLayer() == layer;
    }

 

I don't think you can map two textures to the same face like your example.
