Hello guys, so I have never done a fluid before, but I think I got it right, except the rendering.

 

I have the fluid block (BlockFluidClassic), I can place it and it can normally flow; However, it is invisible (with default RenderType = -1) or untextured blocks (with RenderType = 3).

 

Does anyone know how to properly register a fluid in 1.8?

You need to use Forge's fluid model. Use the default render type of 3 (model specified by blockstates file). -1 stops the block being rendered at all (used by vanilla

TESR

blocks).

 

Forge has an example here (blockstates file) and I have an example here (blockstates file).

I see... for some reason my forge Fluid class is different from those, it doesn't have the ResourceLocation. What version are you using?

 

Edit: I was using the recommended version 11.14.3.1450. I changed to version 11.14.3.1502 and it worked beautifully!

 

Thanks Choonster!

Choonster,

can you confirm the need to move up to 1502?  I followed some of your suggestions on this issue before and finally gave up because I could never get it to render.

Fluid Renderer wasn't added until build 1464, 1502 is just the last build before forge gradle 2.0

This is correct. I've just been updating to the latest Forge version occasionally, since it's just a test mod I don't worry about compatibility with older versions of Java or Forge.

That explains a few problems.  Thanks.

Thanks so much for the post, it has really helped me with fluids in 1.8.  However, I am having an issue with getting the texture hooked up correctly.  I am currently getting a texture error saying that I am missing 2 textures (the flow and still) in DOMAIN minecraft, however I have it of course with my mod's assets.  It seems like it is looking for it in the Minecraft asset structure.

NOTE: I have textures working for other items and blocks, I just haven't gotten around to making a texture for the reactor, so ignore that one please.

 

EDIT: I shouldn't blindly use source code   for anyone else that might encounter this problem, make sure to include "modid:path/to/texture" in your constructor for your fluid, instead of just "path/to/texture"

example:

public FluidLifestream() {
        super(NAME, new ResourceLocation("makomod:blocks/lifestream_still"), new ResourceLocation("makomod:blocks/lifestream_flow"));
}
