Hello. I am trying to update a mod from 1.7.10 to 1.8.9, and beyond that to 1.9. The problem is, I have a block that renders with full brightness, but does not emit light itself.

 

This was previously done with ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler, but this method does not seem to be supported in 1.8.9.

 

I am guessing that I will need to use IBlockSmartModel, but I don't understand how this works. Can somebody help me here, or am I on the wrong track?

 

Also, will this need to be changed again for 1.9?

I'm not entirely sure if this is possible with the baked model system. You can disable shadows for a model element/

BakedQuad

(see the model format or this example), but that doesn't render the model at full brightness.

 

You may need to use a

TESR

for this.

While that may be a potential solution, I would prefer not to use tile entities for this as the block could be used to fill a large area.
