[1.11] More blockStates, much more memory usage?

[Kander16]

Hi,

 

I'm creating a block with 10 blockstates and the memory usage raises very fast.

I can't even completely start the program because the memory usage is too high.

I've noticed that the more blockStates I add into the "createBlockState()" method, the more memory usage I need.

 

My blockstates currently exists out of:

 

- 9 Enums

- 1 Boolean

I'm making a ripening rack, which can hold 8 cheese spots. Every cheese spot can have 12 different cheeses.

I currently have:

 

- 1 BlockState for the facings

- 1 BlockState for checking if a block is on top

- 8 BlockStates for each cheese spot (Which is done using enums).

 

I'm doing it using getActualState().

 

How could I make this to work?

Thanks.

I know. No, I planned to use sub-models for this.

I'll take a look at it.

By the way: I can still use the json models, right?

Ok, thanks!

Hey DIesieben07.

 

I found this information

TileEntitySpecialRenderer is often a better (simpler!) choice if the block is animated, or needs fancy rendering, for

  example like an animated chest, or the lettering on a sign.  You must give your block a TileEntity as well.

IBakedModel#getQuads is often a better (more realistic) choice if the block should have shaded lighting like a normal block,

  or if there are very many of the block and they don't need to store information (can calculate their state from adjacent

  blocks). For example - a chameleon block that changes its colour to match the colours of its neighbours

When I started this thread, I didn't mention that I'm storing the information of my block in a TileEntity.

Does this change the situation? And can I still use the cache with the TESR?

If I would use the TESR: how can I render the json models?

Ok. So if I understand you correctly, the part I quoted is wrong in it's statement because "letters on a sign" are static and not animated?
