[1.8 SOLVED]Creating a Custom Throwable Entity, Texture Not Showing

[riderj]

 

 

The Solution

 

 

The reason why I was not able to render my own throwable "enderpearl" with a custom texture was because I had not written any OpenGL code to apply the texture to the entity. I was able to work around this by using the RenderSnowball class when registering my renderers.

 

RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityItemTest.class,new RenderSnowball(Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderManager(),item,Harvester.game.getRenderItem()));

 

I needed a RenderItem for the third parameter so I instanced a variable to Minecraft, called it game, and then that allowed me to get the RenderItem I needed. After registering the snowball as the render handler I was able to just allow the RenderSnowball  to handle my test_item and its texture. I ended up creating a HarversterEntity class to handle entities and rendering.

 

 

 

 

The old Post

 

I'm trying to create a custom throwable entity and I'm using the EnderPearl code to have a base functionality. When using this code as an extension of my ItemTest I get a null texture for the entity being thrown, but it in fact is being thrown because I get teleported to the location it landed. I've looked through all of the code that the EnderPearl class uses, and cannot find a single thing regarding textures. I have registered the entity into the GlobalEntityID and it successfully loads into the database, and I can access it, so no issue there. I have also created a RenderEntityItemTest class and EntityItemTest class. I'm rendering the entity using RenderingRegistry, and still have a null texture. Here is my code:

 

 

I had managed to spawn an entity, but it's having issues rendering the texture. When it gets spawned it's a white box with no texture. I'm not familiar with how things get rendered. I had looked through it, and all I get out of it is that when the entity spawns it tries to render a texture, but can't. All code is updated.

Register the entity and the entity's renderer (EntityRegistry, RenderingRegistry)

[riderj]

Still having issues with rendering the texture... I have no clue where it's messing up. I have looked everywhere multiple times, and have not found anything. I'm thinking that I'm rendering the entity wrong, but there is no documentation on what I need to do when creating a new entity.

Solved...
