[1.8]Rendering 2D quads on block using TileEntitySpecialRender or something else

[TheCrafter4000]

Hello,

 

I am trying to make a custom bookshelf that can store books. I want to render them at the front of the block(2D). I have tried TileEntitySpecialRender, but it havent any idea who it works.

Can anyone help me?

No, I havent, but I have tried a lot with that rendering stuff. I have read many tutorials about rendering, but they render just 3D models( like items that rotate above the block ).

Well, get ready to learn.

The Tessellator is just a wrapper around the OpenGL calls.  There are other ways to use OpenGL than drawing quads, the Tessellator just forces quads because that's what it's used for.
