1.10.2 How to Render ItemStack as entity instead of as a Single Model

Posted December 7, 20168 yr

Currently my block renders an Item that is in the slot.

However, it does not visually indicate the amount of the stack in the slot.

I would like it to look like the Iron Ore or the Rail in this picture:

A source code example would be really beneficial here as I'm still getting my bearings in the post 1.8 workspaces

For reference the shelf is from my 1.7 mod and I have linked the code below that I am looking to emulate.

public class FourShelfRenderer extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer {

private EntityItem entItem = null;

private EntityItem entItem1 = null;

private EntityItem entItem2 = null;

private static final ResourceLocation MODEL = new ResourceLocation("kitsumedievalcraft:models/Shelf.obj");

private static final ResourceLocation TEXTURE = new ResourceLocation("kitsumedievalcraft:models/ShelfMini32.png");

private IModelCustom model = AdvancedModelLoader.loadModel(MODEL);

// THE FKNG RENDERER NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT THE FK TO RENDER; SEND IT A FKNG ITEMSTACK

@Override

public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity tileEnt, double x, double y, double z, float scale) {

TileEntityShelfFour tileEntityBlock = (TileEntityShelfFour) tileEnt;

Even a point in the direction of the vanilla rendering code for Item Entities would be great. I looked for it myself but no luck.

What's wrong with your shelf code? All you have to do is replace GL11 calls with their respective GLStateManager methods.

(((SOLVED))) Loading into certain worlds stuck on "Reading world data" then stops responding.

So, I tried this, and the world did load, but ALL of the modded items and things I had completely disappeared, as well as many unmodded things like my chests and items I was carrying. Any solutions?

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I do have to add that this is my answer for 1.12.2 but it should ALSO work for future versions.

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I know this was posted almost 3 years ago but this is for anyone who is still looking for an answer.

First, find your config folder. -> C:\Users\ (desktop user's name) \curseforge(or the application where you've downloaded you mod)\minecraft\Instances\config (The config folder should be in the same folder as your mods folder.) Once you click on the config folder, search for CustomNpcs.cfg. Once found, click on it (you can edit it using notepad) and search for the line "headweartype". Set the value to 0 if you want a 2d head layer, set it to 1 for a 3d head layer. Then save the options and you should be good to go from there! :)
