[1.8.9]Custom item rendering

[MineWIZ]

Hello

In 1.7.10 you can make Gl calls directly with IItemRenderer. But in 1.8+ IItemRenderer got replaced by SmartItemModel which don't let me make Gl calls. Is it possible to render vanilla like enchantment glint effect with different color on item?

You can use the item model system to put use your item's texture, and then have an additional layer with an animated texture with the effect you want.

It's really simple. Just look up the info for resource packs.

 

Also, IItemRenderer didnt get "replaced". It got removed. SmartItemModel was added to give flexibility to the baked model system that Mojang added. It's not a replacement though.

Thanks for response. I have added "layer1" which is an animation built from frames to my item model json. But now how to tell Minecraft which animation layer to use depending on ItemStack NBT data, if the tag "color" equals "RED" then use the animation layer with red color etc.?

 

Btw.
