[Solved] [1.8.9] Rendering TileEntity

[abused_master]

Hello, so i am working on a new mod right now that involves a lot of TileEntities, but whenever i try to render one using a TESR it just loads it as an invisible block in game,

 

My Block code:

public class GrindingFactory extends Block implements ITileEntityProvider {

public GrindingFactory(String unlocalizedName, Material material, float hardness) {
	super(material);
	this.setHardness(3.0F);
	this.setUnlocalizedName("GrindingFactory");
	this.setCreativeTab(JATMA.jatma);
        this.isBlockContainer = true;
}

public GrindingFactory(String unlocalizedName, float hardness) {
        this(unlocalizedName, Material.rock, hardness);
    }

    public GrindingFactory(String unlocalizedName) {
        this(unlocalizedName, 3.0F);
    }


@Override
public boolean isOpaqueCube(){
	return false;
}

    @Override
    public boolean isFullCube() {
        return false;
    }
    
    public int getRenderType()
    {
        return 2;
    }

@Override
public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World worldIn, int meta) {
	return new TileEntityGrindingFactory();
}

@Override
    public void breakBlock(World world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state) {
        super.breakBlock(world, pos, state);
        world.removeTileEntity(pos);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onBlockEventReceived(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, int eventID, int eventParam) {
        super.onBlockEventReceived(worldIn, pos, state, eventID, eventParam);
        TileEntity tileentity = worldIn.getTileEntity(pos);
        return tileentity == null ? false : tileentity.receiveClientEvent(eventID, eventParam);
    }

}

 

My TileEntity Code:

public class TileEntityGrindingFactory extends TileEntity implements IWrenchable, IEnergyHandler {

    protected EnergyStorage storage = new EnergyStorage(10000);

    @Override
    public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt) {

        super.readFromNBT(nbt);
        storage.readFromNBT(nbt);
    }

    @Override
    public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt) {

        super.writeToNBT(nbt);
        storage.writeToNBT(nbt);
    }

@Override
public boolean canConnectEnergy(EnumFacing from) {
	return true;
}

@Override
public int receiveEnergy(EnumFacing from, int maxReceive, boolean simulate) {
	return storage.receiveEnergy(maxReceive, simulate);
}

@Override
public int extractEnergy(EnumFacing from, int maxExtract, boolean simulate) {
	return 0;
}

@Override
public int getEnergyStored(EnumFacing from) {
	return storage.getEnergyStored();
}

@Override
public int getMaxEnergyStored(EnumFacing from) {
	return storage.getEnergyStored();
}

@Override
public ArrayList<ItemStack> dismantleBlock(EntityPlayer player, World world, BlockPos pos, boolean returnDrops) {
	return null;
}

@Override
public boolean canDismantle(EntityPlayer player, World world, BlockPos pos) {
	return true;
}

}

 

My TESR class:

public class RenderGrindingFactory extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer {

    private final ResourceLocation textureLocation = new ResourceLocation("jatma", "textures/blocks/grindingfactory.png");


@Override
public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity te, double x, double y, double z, float partialTicks, int destroyStage) {

        GL11.glPushMatrix();
        GL11.glTranslatef((float) x + 0.5F, (float) y + 1.5F, (float) z + 0.5F);
      
        bindTexture(textureLocation);
        GL11.glPushMatrix();
        GL11.glRotatef(180F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);
        
            int rotation = 0;
            switch (te.getBlockMetadata() % 4) {
                case 0:
                    rotation = 270;
                    break;
                case 1:
                    rotation = 0;
                    break;
                case 2:
                    rotation = 90;
                    break;
                case 3:
                    rotation = 180;
                    break;
            }
          GL11.glRotatef(rotation, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);
            
            
        GL11.glPopMatrix();
        GL11.glPopMatrix();

}

}

 

I have binded my TileEntity class with my TESR class in my BlockRenderRegistry,

public class BlockRenderRegister {

public static String modid = info.MODID;

public static void registerBlockRenderer() {

	reg(ModBlocks.GrindingFactory);
	        
        ClientRegistry.bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer(TileEntityGrindingFactory.class, new RenderGrindingFactory());

}

public static void reg(Block block) {
    Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher()
    .register(Item.getItemFromBlock(block), 0, new ModelResourceLocation(modid + ":" + block.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory"));
}

}

 

My TileEntity is registered, So i was wondering if i was rendering it wrong, or if i was doing something wrong

[Swingdude]

It doesn't seem like you are actually rendering anything in the TESR. You are binding a texture, but not rendering anything. I could be mistaken, but in 1.7.10 you would have to get the model and then bind the texture and render it. You might not need a TESR, though. What do you want the block to look like, and can you post the JSONs?

[abused_master]

Well i have a json model i want the block to use, but not sure how to do that,

my Blockstate:

{
    "variants": {
        "normal": { "model": "jatma:GrindingFactory" }
    }
}

 

My Model Block json, what i want the block to look like

My model item:

{
    "parent":"jatma:block/GrindingFactory",
    "display": {
        "thirdperson": {
            "rotation": [ 10, -45, 170 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 1.5, -2.75 ],
            "scale": [ 0.375, 0.375, 0.375 ]
        }
    }
}

 

If there is a way to go about it by not using a TESR and just using the Block json Model, that would be much better

[Swingdude]

What is your block name, and what are the names of the json files? From what I have found, the json file has to have the exact same name as the block.

[abused_master]

My block name is GrindingFactory and all my json files are called GrindingFactory, the unlocalized name for the block is also GrindingFactory

[Swingdude]

What does the block currently look like in game? Are there any errors in the log about the json files?

[abused_master]

there are no errors as far as i see, the block model renders in my inventory in the game, but when placed its just an invisible block

[Swingdude]

It renders in your hand as it's supposed to? Maybe try unhooking (don't delete!) the TESR and see how it renders. If it renders in your hand normally, it would be something with the block render (TESR most likely)

[abused_master]

I have tried that, i unhooked the TESR but had no luck, my block was extending BlockContainer and tried all i can with this but had no luck rendering so now im using extends Block implements ITileEntityProvider

[Swingdude]

I forgot: At least for BlockContainers, you must override getRenderType() (I believe that's the method). I am using 1.9 right now, so I don't know what you should return (I believe it's an int), but I had the same problem with one of my models. For some reason, BlockContainers are invisible by default.

EDIT: Might want to change the int and see what happens. Didn't see you had it.

EDIT 2: Change it to 3.

[abused_master]

I just tried that but had no luck.

Edit- I was able to fix it by overriding getRenderType() and changing my return from 2 to 3

 

@Override
    public int getRenderType()
    {
        return 3;
    }

[DestinySpork]

setting to -1 works as well I  believe (which is the default)
