Porting from 1.8 to 1.10.2 -- ModelBakery changed

[kreezxil]

I see that the ModelBakery changed so that the method "addVariantName" no longer exists. I've poking around the code and available resources and I am not sure what to use in place of the "addVariantName" method. From what I can tell, what used to be a simple one-liner is now going to be at least 10 additional lines. But I'm still unsure as to where to go. What are the suggestions and is there a new resource for discovering how to do these things in 1.10.2?

 

My code style is reminiscent of BedrockMiner's from http://BedrockMiner.jimdo.com as I used his tutorials to initially create the mod. However, he states on his front page that he is no longer continuing the tutorial project and so 1.8 is the highest he has gone before giving up on it (I hope temporarily).

 

The function with my code that is no longer valid

 

	public static void ovenRack(Block block, int maxTier) {
	String[] names = new String[maxTier];
	for (int i = 0; i < maxTier; i++) {
		names[i] = modid + ":" + tiers[i]
				+ block.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5);
	}

	//this is no longer valid in 1.10.2
                ModelBakery.addVariantName(Item.getItemFromBlock(block), names);
}

 

 

For context this comes from my BlockRenderRegister.java
