[Forge 1.11] Rendering Irregular Block

pH7 · January 2, 2017

Hey all and happy new year

I run into a problem that has been boggling my mind; I made an irregular block that extends my BlockBase class, made textures for it and a json file for its model, but it renders as the purple/black block.

This is its class:

public class BlockBeachTurtleShell extends BlockBase{
public BlockBeachTurtleShell() {
	super(Material.ROCK, "beach_turtle_shell");

	setHardness(3f);
	setResistance(5f);
	setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 1);
	setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.DECORATIONS);
	setSoundType(SoundType.STONE);
}

@Override
public boolean isOpaqueCube(IBlockState state) {
	return false;
}

@Override
public boolean isFullCube(IBlockState state) {
	return false;
}

public void addCollisionBoxToList(IBlockState state, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, AxisAlignedBB entityBox, List<AxisAlignedBB> collidingBoxes, @Nullable Entity entityIn){
	addCollisionBoxToList(pos, entityBox, collidingBoxes, new AxisAlignedBB(0.0625F, 0.0F, 0.125F, 0.9375F, 0.3125F, 0.875F));

}

@Override
public BlockRenderLayer getBlockLayer(){
	return BlockRenderLayer.TRANSLUCENT;
}
    
}

It is there as the collision and its properties work. If I change the its json file to retrieve some random block's texture, it will succeed, leading me to believe that there is something wrong with the json file, but I can't figure out what.

This is it:

	"texture0": "variety:blocks/beach_turtle_shell/beach_turtle_shell0",

		}
	},
	{
		"from": [ 4.0, -21.0, 3.0 ],
		"to": [ 12.0, -20.0, 13.0 ],
		"faces": {
			"down":	{ "uv": [ 1, 1, 9, 11  ], "texture": "#texture8"},
			"up":	{ "uv": [ 1, 1, 9, 11  ], "texture": "#texture7", "rotation": 180},
			"north":{ "uv": [ 1, 14, 9, 15  ], "texture": "#texture4", "rotation": 180},
			"south":{ "uv": [ 1, 11, 9, 12  ], "texture": "#texture4"},
			"west":	{ "uv": [ 14, 1, 15, 11  ], "texture": "#texture7", "rotation": 90},
			"east":	{ "uv": [ 11, 1, 12, 11  ], "texture": "#texture7", "rotation": 270}
		}
	}
]
}

Those awful rotations were due to mistakes in orientation during modelling but ignore them, they are fine x)

From what I know of json formats, that should work. Does anyone have any idea of where the mistake should be? I'll keep working on it. Thanks in advance.

Post the FML log (logs/fml-client-latest.log), there's almost certainly an error in it telling you what's wrong.

Do you have an "inventory" variant in your blockstate file?

pH7 · January 2, 2017

For TheSunCat: I have something like this for a blockstate and my regular blocks render fine

{
"forge_marker": 1,
"defaults": {
	"textures": {
		"all": "variety:blocks/brass_block"
	}
},
"variants": {
	"normal": {
		"model": "cube_all"
	},
	"inventory": {
		"model": "cube_all"
	}
}
}

As Draco said, do you have the inventory?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My current jsons for this block are:

/variety/blockstates/beach_turtle_shell.json:

{
    "variants": {
        "normal": {"model": "variety:beach_turtle_shell"}
    }
}

/variety/models/block/beach_turtle_shell.json:

original post

/variety/models/item/beach_turtle_shell.json:

{
    "parent": "item/generated",
    "textures": {
        "layer0": "variety:items/beach_turtle_shell"
    }
}

I have an item icon being displayed as the held item istead of the irregular block. It is what I intended to and it appears fine both in the player's hand, in the inventory and as a dropped item fine and with the correct size.

I noticed this in my last fml log:

I still get purple and black blocks when placed.

Indeed... I offset everything to be within bounds and now it is rendered perfectly...

I didn't notice that, thanks man
