[1.10.2] Block JSON Overlays

[Izzy Axel]

How would you/is there a way to overlay a binary transparency texture over a base texture on each side in the JSON model system?  This is what I tried, but it results in a transparent block with the overlay on all sides in the inventory, and the transparent pixels being white and gray in the world:

And the other issue, how do you make the transparent layer fullbright, without making the block emit light?

1) https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism/blob/master/src/main/resources/assets/harderores/models/block/hardore.json

 

2) add "shade":"false" to the elements block for the overlay textures.

Well, after making some changes based on that, the overlay works on the inventory render, but the world render still looks like that screenshot.

And setting shade to false isn't working on its own, you have to do at least setLightLevel(1).

For a block model to be rendered with transparency, you need to override

Block#getBlockLayer

to return

CUTOUT

,

CUTOUT_MIPPED

or

TRANSLUCENT

as appropriate.

 

The Grey Ghost has an explanation of these layers here.

That fixed it, thanks...now why isn't shade: false working...
