I'm trying my best to understand and learn how to mess around with quads and I've finally found a way to manipulate them which is great. Only problem is there's a big black box around item models when I'm messing with them, any idea how to remove that?

You should only include the item quads for the TRANSLUCENT render layer, this should ensure they're rendered with transparency enabled. You can get the current render layer using MinecraftForgeClient.getRenderLayer.

 

The "flip-v" custom data property (in the blockstates file) is only used by ObjModel, it does nothing for any other type of model.

Where am I supposed to check 'MinecraftForgeClient.getRenderLayer' as if I check it in the eventHandler or in the getQuads method of the model It just returns null

Just not sure where I'm supposed to check the render layer

You should be able to check it in your implementation of IBakedModel#getQuads, that's what MultiLayerModel does.

 

It will be null when the model isn't being rendered in the world (e.g. when it's rendered as an item).

Im realizing this is probably the wrong way to add item models to a block model. Should I not be doing this through the ModelBakeEvent?
