[SOLVED] [1.10.2] Rendering the inside of a block

[Tschipp]

I'm trying to make a block that only renders it's side when it touches a block that is not air. This sort of works so far, the problem is that the block is only visible from the outside. Here is a screenshot to explain:

 

The block is only visible through the grass, not if I stand inside or behind the block.

I think, what I need to do is tell the game to render the insides of the block as well. How would I do that?

 

Block Class:

	{
		return true;
	}
	return false;
}



@Override

{
	List<ItemStack> drops = new ArrayList<ItemStack>();
	drops.add(new ItemStack(BBBlocks.overgrowth));
	return drops;
}

}

You need to edit your model and add planes for the inside.

[Tschipp]

Is that all I have to do or do I have to change some code as well?

[shadowfacts]

Show your model. You're probably only adding a quad for one side. Quads are only rendered from one side, from the opposite side they'll be invisible, so if you want your block to have the same texture on both sides, you'll need to quads.

I just realized I'm probably a idiot for using a block model that only has one element. I'll add some planes and get back to you.

Alright, I made some progress: The sides now all get rendered, the problem is, they get rendered even when touching air. How do I need to alter my code / blockmodel?

 

here is my model, I made it using MrCrayfish's model maker, because I have no idea how to model by hand:

How did you do it before?

How did you do it before?

I didn't change any of my code, just the block model.

In the shouldSideBeRendered method I check if the side is touching air. If it is, I return false.

[Jay Avery]

I think

shouldSideBeRendered

only works with cube_all models. Otherwise there'd be no way for the code to know which faces of which shapes count as each 'side'.

 

You can definitely use blockstates to adapt the model depending on the blocks around it, as an alternative.

There would be a way...

"north": { "texture": "#all", "uv": [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 16.0 ] },

You specify the face in the model. But the BlockState part is definitely the correct way to go.

What do you mean? I know Blockstates would probably be better but I find it a pain setting up the blockstates and all...

I think I found it! I just had to set a cullface for the elements! But now the planes of the block below and my block are z-fighting (I think that's the right word). How do I fix that?

[Animefan8888]

You override getActualState in your Block class. This will return the default state with 6 values; boolean values. Each one will represent if there is a block that is not air. If there is a block that is not air it will add to the model using forges submodel system. Meaning you will use a forge style BlockState. You will also have to override getMetaFromState, getStateFromMeta, createBlockState.

You will have to make one face slightly closer to the middle of the block or slightly farther from the block.

Thanks everyone, got it working!
