I've set up a block with a TileEntitySpecialRenderer which renders fine when I place it in the world, however I have no idea how to make it render in an inventory (It's currently a block with the missing texture in an inventory). How would I do this?

 

If it's not possible, then how do I make it so that a block renders as a 2D item in an inventory?

 

Thanks

Can you show some of the code that makes this TESR object?

 

I know that for an item you would make it render in the inventory via:

		Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(modid + ":" + item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory"));

 

Can't you shove your TESR object in that somewhere? If it's a block use

Item.getItemFromBlock(blockObject)

in place of the 'item' field.

Ah, thanks - That did get it to render as an item.

 

As for the TESR code, it's pretty much the same as this , but adapted to work with a TESR, rather than on an entity
