I'm using a method inside my Item class to register the ItemRenderer by calling

ModClass.proxy.registerItemRenderer(this);

 

This method is empty on CommonProxy obviously but on ClientProxy it calls

 

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(item.getRegistryName(), "inventory"));

 

Since the method inside my Item class is called just after registering the item, it is from preInit.

Should I do it differently? Should I do it the same way but on init or postInit? Thanks in advance.

In preInit after registration or before? I dont think it matters.

Thanks. I was worried since I saw some codes where they call a static method that registers all the renderers together in Initialization

The difference is between using ModelLoader.setModelResourceLocation(item, meta, location) and Minecraft::register(item, meta, location). The prior will get called in preInit and the later after preInit. The later is also really finicky about what happens before/after so stick with ModelLoader version.

Very useful. Thanks!
