[1.8] [SOLVED] Water and coral in one block?

[skyfir3]

Is there a way to merge normal water block with a custom block?

So when i place it, it is no "air" around the custom block.

You have to include the water in your Model.

I knew i could do that, but wondered if there is another way

But if that was the answer then i guess i have no other choice

You don't need to include water in your model, just set the block's Material to water and add the BlockLiquid.LEVEL property to your BlockState with a default value of 15. You'll also need to register a custom StateMapper to ignore this property when looking for the model.

 

You can see how BoP does this here and how I do it here.
