[1.8] Custom glass block won't render as transparent

[xStuffAndThingz]

I'm making a type of glass for my mod, and I've coded the json files properly, and the texture I'm using is transparent. The glass renders as transparent in my hand and in my inventory, but when I place it down there's a weird black texture in the areas where it should be transparent. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

 

This is my code for the glass block's class.

package xstuffmods.rfnp.blocks;

import xstuffmods.rfnp.RFnP;
import net.minecraft.block.BlockBreakable;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

public class GreenhouseGlass extends BlockBreakable{

public GreenhouseGlass(Material materialIn, boolean ignoreSimilarityIn) {
	super(materialIn.glass, ignoreSimilarityIn);
	GameRegistry.registerBlock(this, "greenhouseGlass");
	setUnlocalizedName("greenhouseGlass");
	setStepSound(soundTypeGlass);
	setHardness(1.0F);
	setResistance(0.0F);
	setCreativeTab(RFnP.cTab);
	// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

}

try adding this to your glass class:

@Override

public EnumWorldBlockLayer getBlockLayer() {

 

return EnumWorldBlockLayer.CUTOUT;

}

 

 

example:

 

package xstuffmods.rfnp.blocks;

 

import xstuffmods.rfnp.RFnP;

import net.minecraft.block.BlockBreakable;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

 

public class GreenhouseGlass extends BlockBreakable{

 

public GreenhouseGlass(Material materialIn, boolean ignoreSimilarityIn) {

super(materialIn.glass, ignoreSimilarityIn);

GameRegistry.registerBlock(this, "greenhouseGlass");

setUnlocalizedName("greenhouseGlass");

setStepSound(soundTypeGlass);

setHardness(1.0F);

setResistance(0.0F);

setCreativeTab(RFnP.cTab);

// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

}

 

        @Override

public EnumWorldBlockLayer getBlockLayer() {

 

return EnumWorldBlockLayer.CUTOUT;

}

}

 

 

 

I believe this should fix your problem

I had the same problem with glass, but when i used that code I could use the glass like an x-ray: the bottom and top of the block allowed me to see through the world...

Hi

 

This link might be useful for background info.

@Yakman - try override Block.isOpaqueCube() to return false.

To allow transparency in models you need to override two Block methods with the methods below:

 

@Override

public boolean isOpaqueCube() {

return false;

}

 

@Override

public EnumWorldBlockLayer getBlockLayer() {

return EnumWorldBlockLayer.CUTOUT;

}

 

The method isOpaqueCube is set to false already by you extending BlockBreakable instead of Block. This third method below might help some shading bugs. Hope it works out.

 

@Override

public boolean isFullCube() {

        return false;

}

Thanks, both of you.
