[1.11] Particle Rendering Issue.

[Lambda]

Hey there!

 

So I've created a 'particle' that allows me to render a block and shoot it to a different position. However I'm having issues with getting this to work.. I have all the components need for the particle (rendering, packet, etc), so it left me to believe its something to do with how I'm rendering the block.. Maybe I'm using particles wrong? A TESR would not work due to it disappear when the block is not in view.. Here is my code:

 

The Renderer (within a util class)

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public static void renderVoidCubes(double firstX, double firstY, double firstZ, double secondX, double secondY, double secondZ) {
        GlStateManager.pushMatrix();
        GlStateManager.translate(firstX, firstY, firstZ);

        double frame = Minecraft.getSystemTime()/800d;

        GlStateManager.scale(.5, .5, .5);

        GlStateManager.translate(secondX, secondY, secondZ);

        GlStateManager.translate(0, ((frame *10)%firstY), 0);

        ResourceUtil.renderBlockInWorld(Blocks.DIRT, 0);

        GlStateManager.popMatrix();
    }

 

The client time / server time senders:

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public static void spawnVoidCubesWithTimeClient(double startX, double startY, double startZ, double endX, double endY, double endZ) {
        Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getMinecraft();

        if(mc.player.getDistance(startX, startY, startZ) <= 64 || mc.player.getDistance(endX, endY, endZ) <= 64){
            Particle fx = new ParticleVoidCube(mc.world, startX, startY, startZ, endX, endY, endZ);
            mc.effectRenderer.addEffect(fx);
        }
    }

    public static void spawnVoidCubesWithTimeServer(World world, double startX, double startY, double startZ, double endX, double endY, double endZ){
        if(!world.isRemote){
            NBTTagCompound data = new NBTTagCompound();
            data.setDouble("StartX", startX);
            data.setDouble("StartY", startY);
            data.setDouble("StartZ", startZ);
            data.setDouble("EndX", endX);
            data.setDouble("EndY", endY);
            data.setDouble("EndZ", endZ);
            PacketHandler.theNetwork.sendToAllAround(new PacketServerToClient(data, PacketHandler.VOID_PARTICLE_HANDLER), new NetworkRegistry.TargetPoint(world.provider.getDimension(), startX, startY, startZ, 96));
        }
    }

 

Particle Class

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public class ParticleVoidCube extends Particle {
    private final double endX;
    private final double endY;
    private final double endZ;

    public ParticleVoidCube(World world, double startX, double startY, double startZ, double endX, double endY, double endZ) {
        super(world, startX, startY, startZ);
        this.endX = endX;
        this.endY = endY;
        this.endZ = endZ;
    }

    @Override
    public void renderParticle(VertexBuffer buffer, Entity entityIn, float partialTicks, float rotationX, float rotationZ, float rotationYZ, float rotationXY, float rotationXZ){
        ResourceUtil.renderVoidCubes(this.posX+0.5, this.posY+0.5, this.posZ+0.5, this.endX+0.5, this.endY+0.5, this.endZ+0.5);
    }

    @Override
    public int getFXLayer(){
        return 3;
    }
}

 

The network:

    public static final IDataHandler VOID_PARTICLE_HANDLER = new IDataHandler() {
        @Override
        @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
        public void handleData(NBTTagCompound compound, MessageContext context) {
            Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getMinecraft();

            double inX = compound.getDouble("InX")+0.5;
            double inY = compound.getDouble("InY")+0.78;
            double inZ = compound.getDouble("InZ")+0.5;

            double outX = compound.getDouble("OutX")+0.5;
            double outY = compound.getDouble("OutY")+0.525;
            double outZ = compound.getDouble("OutZ")+0.5;

            if(mc.player.getDistance(outX, outY, outZ) <= 16){
                Particle fx = new ParticleVoidCube(mc.world, outX, outY, outZ, inX, inY, inZ);
                mc.effectRenderer.addEffect(fx);
            }
        }
    };

 

Thanks!
