[1.10.2] [1.11.2] Implementing block models larger than 2x2x2 using a TESR

[turbodiesel4598]

Hey there,

 

I was just trying to work out why my 3x3x3 block model was not rendering correctly in-game, and have just found out that, rather frustratingly, the maximum block model size is 2x2x2. Is there any reasonable way to deal with this issue?

 

Thanks in advance.

You will have to make multiple blocks because Minecraft doesnt handle Collision boxes greater than 1x1x1 and fence had to go through so much stuff just to handle a height of 1.5.

There will also be 'dummy' blocks placed around where the model will (hopefully) be, so that's not the issue. The issue is specifically whether larger models are possible or not.

Normal models, using JSON: No.

TESR: Yes, by using normal sized model and scaling it larger.

 

Unsure if it works, but you can try creating a custom IBakedModel, retrieve the List<BakedQuads> of a normal sized model, and scale them to a new size. This would circumvent using a TESR, if possible.

Ok, I took your advice, and the model is now 1.5x1.5x1.5, and so I need to double the scale. I think must be making a mistake in the TESR class, because for some reason, the model isn't scaling up. Here are the relevant classes:

BlockFusionCore.java

FusionCoreTESR.java

ClientProxy.java

blockstates/fusion_core.json

models/block/fusion_core.json

 

I've modified the title of the discussion to reflect where my issue has moved.

Well, you aren't actually rendering anything in the TESR. It's not linked to model for the blockstate that the tileentity inhabits.
In your block, override getRenderType(IBlockState) to return EnumBlockRenderType.INVISIBLE. This essentially tells Minecraft "hey, you don't have to worry about rendering this block, I'm going to handle it myself".

 

In your TESR, call Minecraft::renderModel and provide a cached IBakedModel that was manually gained from the JSON.

I get a BakedModel and cache it here, and render it here.(minus the bindTexture part).

 

Spoiler

If you do it correctly, you should get this

Right, know what I'm doing a lot better now. Obviously just need to sort out the model errors and then I'll be good.

 

Thanks so much for the help
