[1.7.10] Can I make a TileEntitySpecialRenderer emit light?

[kauan99]

I was wondering if I could make my block emit different amounts of light at different moments according to the progress of it's work. Is that possible?

Hi

 

This example shows how you can do it.  It's for 1.8.9 but is the same as for 1.7.10

1) override Block.getLightValue()

https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/MinecraftByExample/blob/master/src/main/java/minecraftbyexample/mbe31_inventory_furnace/BlockInventoryFurnace.java

 

and

2) if your block is a TileEntity - force block re-rendering and re-lighting when the TE state changes.

i.e. in your TileEntity

@Override

public void update() {

you should have

 

if (worldObj.isRemote) {

worldObj.markBlockForUpdate(pos);

}

worldObj.checkLightFor(EnumSkyBlock.BLOCK, pos);

 

whenever your block's state has changed and the light level is different.
