I have created a block, whose height should only be 1/8 of a regular block and created a model for it. However when the block is placed, it obstructs lighting like this:

 

 

also if the player tries to walk on top of it, it causes the player to slide to the edge and eventually off the block itself. In order to try to fix that I've tried the following:

 

    @Override
    public boolean isFullyOpaque(IBlockState state) {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isOpaqueCube(IBlockState state) {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public AxisAlignedBB getBoundingBox(IBlockState state, IBlockAccess source, BlockPos pos) {
        return BASE_AABB;
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public AxisAlignedBB getCollisionBoundingBox(IBlockState blockState, IBlockAccess worldIn, BlockPos pos) {
        return BASE_AABB;
    }

 

However the result remains the same. I have also noticed that all of those methods are annotated as @Deprecated. Are these the methods I should be using? Should I do something else entirely?

 

Also is there a list of all Registry events (I know there are block and item ones, how about recipe, smelting, worldgen, ...)?

    @Override
    public boolean isFullCube(IBlockState state) {
        return false;
    }

 

ok that did the trick, thanks! 

 

Still, this method too is deprecated, is there any specific reasoning behind this?

Nearly ALL methods in the block class are deprecated you'll notice.

That means "don't call this" (use the IBlockState method instead) not "don't implement this."

Thanks for the explanation, this makes sense! 

 

Do you perhaps also know the registry event that are fired?
