[1.10.2] Rendering Items in a baked model

[BeardlessBrady]

Basically what I want to do is render items inside of my block based on the items in the container. (From what I can tell) this is not possible from a baked model because you cant access what items are in the container from the baked model.

 

So my only option is using a TESR. Now I can render all the items fine but it lags out the game a lot since it updates constantly. Is there a way to make the TESR only update the render when needed and not constantly?

Sorry if I seem kinda confused about this. I don't quite see how I'm able to insert any data into the state of the block. Wouldn't I then have to create a PropertyEnum or something which has every possible item that can go into the container as a possibility?

If you're using a TE, you need to get the TE at the position and set the values there. You don't use BlockStates for this.

I was referring to what Diesieben said. How do I go about sending data (as specific as what items are in a container) to the baked model via the state.

[Draco18s]

getActualState()

 

You need state properties that represent the data, but you can't set those values via setBlockState() because they aren't encoded in metadata.

Yes this works, thank you again
