I am working on a mod that adds "rifts" to the game, which I want to look like a 3d crack i that is the exact same color on all faces without shading, lighting, or any visual effects(like a green screen or lapis caelestis). I know this is possible, because I have seen resource packs do it. I actually was working with Diggking before I decided to update, so his post gives a 1.7.10 request with similar details. Note: I am not asking for a model, I used to do resource packs, I am asking for the flat effect. Also note: I am not looking for a barrier-like effect where there is a particle, I know how to do that.

Some pictures of existing effects would help.

pure colors like this:

^vanilla Minecraft?

and would be vastly better If it worked with 3d models.

Ok, yeah.

What you're looking for is "fullbright."  There should be a way to specify this in the block model file, though I don't know what it is.

This can be achieved by setting

"shade"

to

false

for each model element (see the wiki) and making the block emit light.

 

You can see an example of this here:

Block

, model

Without UI:

I just tried that method, and for some reason, the texture is not working, and it is emitting light, but the purple is still shaded.

Post your code, blockstates file, model and FML log.

If I set model to a normal model, it uses the normal model, by the way.

You didn't post your FML log. In future, please upload each file as a separate Pastebin paste or separate files in a Gist.

 

I suspect the issue is that you're referencing the

all

texture from another texture in the same model, Minecraft will have logged a warning telling you about this ("Unable to resolve texture due to upward reference").

 

Either create a separate model that extends this one and specify the

all

texture there or specify it in the blockstates file using Forge's blockstates format (like I do here).

 

Never use unlocalised names for anything other than translation/display purposes. They're not unique and can change at any time.

 

The default model loaded for every

Item

is the one with its registry name (

IForgeRegistryEntry#getRegistryName

), so use this as the default domain and path of the

ModelResourceLocation

when registering your models.

 

You should also be using

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation

/

setCustomMeshDefinition

in preInit instead of

ItemModelMesher#register

and registering your models in a dedicated client-only class.

I don't quite understand the last part, but using the forge blockstates and registry name fixed it!

Instead of calling

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(Item, int, ModelResourceLocation)

in init, call

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation

in preInit (it takes the same arguments).

 

Instead of registering models in your

ModBlocks

class, create a class that registers models and does nothing else; then call it from your client proxy.

Oh, ok... I saw saw that it required an item, and kind of gave up assuming I did it wrong, even though the other did, too. I am also trying to randomly generate these blocks, and everything is working except world.setbock and getblock have been removed. Is there a simple replacement?

Block

and metadata arguments/return values have been replaced by

IBlockState

arguments/return values,

World#getBlock

and

World#setBlock

have been replaced by

World#getBlockState

and

World#setBlockState

.

 

You can use

Block#getDefaultState

to get a

Block

's default

IBlockState

. You can chain

IBlockState#withProperty

calls to get an

IBlockState

with each property set to the appropriate value.

 

You can read an introduction to block states here.
