Posted November 1, 20169 yr I have a custom block, my tileEntity and my tileEntity special renderer. I guessed it should be somewhat similar to this.getFontRenderer().drawString(); to draw the string. but I couldn't figure out the int parameters yet. What would it be if I have a String I want on top of the block?
November 1, 20169 yr Coincidentally I saw a Forge pull request that does precisely this....without needing a TileEntitySpecialRenderer https://github.com/RainWarrior/MinecraftForge/blob/7b611ef9b2a95ea6b91fb79e0ffe8476a05a675c/src/main/java/net/minecraftforge/client/model/FancyMissingModel.java Lex's comment was "this is a good example of how to do text on static models that everyone bitches about." Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
November 1, 20169 yr Author And when the text I want to have displayed may change depending on GUI interactions, will this still be possible?
November 1, 20169 yr Not having looked over what that guy did in detail, I have no idea.

November 1, 20169 yr Author Since I already have a tileEntitySpecialRenderer and tileEntity for my block. How would I do it in that case?
November 1, 20169 yr Author The link was for not tileEntitySpecialRenderer. String text = "Blablablah"; FontRenderer fontRenderer = this.getFontRenderer(); fontRenderer.drawString(text, 0, (int) (y * fontRenderer.FONT_HEIGHT), 0xFFFF00FF); I tried that similar to the font rendering he sent. But I can't find the text. When I am at a certain angle I got some block artifacts in the image but no words. I'd like to have it on top of my block.
November 1, 20169 yr Author I'm using 1.10 and I looked at the example he posted. But I wasn't able to understand what I have to do to get it working. I have a json model, a tile entity and the block/item. How can I implement this text rendering for the block. The text should depend on a variable in the tileEntity.
