Custom block render showing up as invisible.

[Waterdude]

Hi there, I am trying to make a block with a custom model using the latest recommended build of Forge.

 

For some reason, the block in the player's hand is a grey grass-top texture, and when the block is placed, it is a bounding box with nothing inside it.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

If you need to see any other classes, just ask.

UPDATE: Got the model to render in the world, but now I need to know how to render it in the player's hand.

[endershadow]

what did you change to get it working?

[Rivendark2013]

Anybody have any idea how he fixed this? im stuck at the same point, and i just dont understand minecraft coding well enough yet to see the fix for the invisible block.

[Groxkiller]

How is the item rendering not causing an infinite loop? You call the method within the method...within the method...within the method...etc.

 

Either way that's probably your problem so try commenting it out. (put '//' in front of it)

 

Unless there's a 'super' in front of that you removed for some reason but I don't think that works either.

[endershadow]

I already tried using super and it didn't work so I commented it out. And yes it would cause an infinite loop.

[Seigyoku]

I found this thread that might help shed some light on things: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,3389.0.html

 

I'm not sure how good the solved code is nowadays, but some things I noticed:

 

-Since a Tile Entity is involved, it might be better to use a custom Tile Entity renderer, like they mention and write an example of later in the thread, rather than use the block rendering handlers.

-BlockVelvetTable.java, which extends BlockContainer, uses the getTextureFile() method we're more familiar with. Maybe BlockMVBattery.java should do the same, since it also extends BlockContainer?

[endershadow]

IT WORKED!!!! sorry for all caps. thank you thank you thank you. I just had to add

ClientRegistry.bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer(TileEntitySuperCalc.class, new RenderSuperCalc());

to the client proxy. now how do I change to collision bounds so they just take up the area that the block is in.

[Shadow_Parallax]

I believe there is a setBounds method on blocks. I'm assuming that's the method you're looking for cause I've never really used custom block rendering.

[endershadow]

I already got that to work but I can't get collision box to be correct. is there a way to make the block get the collision from model file?
