[Solved][1.9] Item with metadata not rendering

[Sbeagin]

I found a tutorial on how to make a item with meta data in 1.8 at: http://bedrockminer.jimdo.com/modding-tutorials/basic-modding-1-8/blockstates-and-metadata/

 

I followed this tutorial, however ModelBakery.addVariantName() has been deprecated...

 

My item will not render without this line, can anyone please help? I'm sure it is a very easy process but I have never tried using metadata before.

That worked! Thank you!

I came upon another issue... I keep getting this error message while starting up the game:

The game also crashes with a 1 device not closed error at seemingly random periods of time while fighting the Ender Dragon.

I figured it out! For anyone that had the same problem, I simply put the "ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation()" in the init() the first time around, moving it to the preinit() fixed my problem!
