Well basically I ran into this issue when I tried using a glass-like texture for my anti-diamond block, for the textures here they are:

 

Models.block

 

{

 

"parent": "block/cube_all",

"textures": {

  "all": "tm:blocks/platinumblock"

 

  }

}

 

 

 

.blockstates

 

{

  "variants": {

    "normal": { "model":"tm:platinumblock" }

  }

}

 

 

models.item

 

{

"parent":"tm:block/platinumblock"

}

 

Here is my block class:

 

package top.mod.block;

 

import net.minecraft.block.SoundType;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState;

import net.minecraft.util.BlockRenderLayer;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

 

public class PlatinumBlock extends BlockBase {

 

public PlatinumBlock(Material mat) {

super(mat);

 

setHardness(6F);

setResistance(6F);

setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 3);

this.setSoundType(SoundType.METAL);

}

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    public BlockRenderLayer getBlockLayer()

    {

        return BlockRenderLayer.CUTOUT;

    }

 

    public boolean isFullCube(IBlockState state)

    {

        return false;

    }

 

    protected boolean canSilkHarvest()

    {

        return true;

    }

}

 

You need to extend BlockGlass, getBlockLayer() doesn't override anything.

Try to add the @Override annotation to every method that you want to override, it prevents errors.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, getBlockLayer is part of the Block class... try extending BlockGlass anyways.

It didn't really work, just threw a bunch of errors

Post you errors

Post the code of your block, it's most likely to do with defining transparency in the code (rather than the models).

I agree -- extend BlockGlass and delete any methods that it handles for you.

 

It sounds as if you've tricked MC into not rendering blocks behind yours, and yet your block is transparent. Note: This sort of effect pops up in vanilla from time to time, especially at chunk boundaries. Test your problem in multiple locations to see if it is consistent (your problem) or intermittent (possibly a vanilla bug).

 

PS: Investigate using the debugger and report back to us with more of what you learn!
