I've made a block which has a TE that extends TileEntityChest. I want the block to render with an ordinary static model (not a TESR) - I've got a blockstates file and model and I know they're correct because that model is used when it's an inventory item. But when I place the block in the world, it renders as a vanilla chest instead of my block model. I've overriden getRenderType to return MODEL, but that's apparently being ignored. The block class does not extend the vanilla chest block, only the TE extends the vanilla TileEntityChest. How can I force it to render as a block model instead of the vanilla TESR?

 

For reference, my block class:

When forge renders a TESR the TESR registered is registered by the TileEntity it is rendering in this case i think that when minecraft renders your TileEntity because it extends TileEntityChest it uses the TESR registered with TileEntityChest

So long story short what diesieben07 said
