How do you use block states with a Tile Entity Special Renderer

[Caseofgames]

It's odd that I can not find a tutorial that answers this question. Try as I might to find one. :'( Can anyone help me?

You use getActualState in your block and then access the TE with the world parameter and then your state data.

Hi

 

What I have successfully used before:

In your TileEntity.update(), read the value of the blockstate, then store it in the TileEntity

eg

IBlockState iblockstate = this.worldObj.getBlockState(pos);

In the TESR.renderTileEntityAt, retrieve the stored blockstate from the TileEntity.
