nb: there are 4 books total, with over 30 pages between them. this is just the first page of two. to show how it all is setup.

 

The only actual issue i have with the code is I can't get them textured ingame. under 1.7.10 the sub items simply took the appearance of the written_books without my needing to do anything. My attempt to register separate renders for them did nothing.  (i think because the renderer needs an item, which is just a written book, so im effectively registering a render for the vanilla item, not my prewritten book)

 

I found this code over 18 months ago and have never been entirely happy with it even though it worked fine, barring one oddity only encountered if taking books from the creative inventory after acquiring a book in a normal way, which was wierd, but non-game breaking and rare. In any case, swapping it for an enumerator seemed like a good idea at this point. this went fine, allowing textures to apply, but I've no idea how to apply the nbt data to the variants which arent itemstacks.

 

I'm fine with whichevers best or easiest to resolve.

So a funny thing happened on the way to the forums...

 

While compiling the information you asked for I saw I had made a mistake during my prior attempt to create individual renders for the books: i was passing the meta as 0, not the set item damage. doing so, and tweaking the item passed resolved the issue.

here's what you asked for, anyway:

 

 

 

public class JungleItems
{
public static ItemWrittenBook bookScales;

public static void init()
{
	//items
	bookScales = new bookScale();
                registerItems();
        }

public static void registerItems()
{
	registerItem(bookScales, "bookScale");
        }

public static void registerRenderers()
{
	registerRender(bookScales);
        }

public static void registerItem(Item item, String string)
{
	item.setRegistryName(string);
	GameRegistry.register(item);
}

public static void registerRender(Item item)
{
                ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(item.getRegistryName(), "inventory"));
}

 

 

 

the corrected renders:

 

registerRenderWithMeta("east_scale", bookScale.eastScale.getMetadata(), bookScale.eastScale.getItem());
	registerRenderWithMeta("west_scale", bookScale.westScale.getMetadata(), bookScale.westScale.getItem());
	registerRenderWithMeta("north_scale", bookScale.northScale.getMetadata(), bookScale.northScale.getItem());
	registerRenderWithMeta("south_scale", bookScale.southScale.getMetadata(), bookScale.southScale.getItem());

public static void registerRenderWithMeta(String string, int i, Item item)
{
        ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(item, i, new ModelResourceLocation(References.MODID + ":" + string, "inventory"));
}
