[1.11.2] Rendering a block with a TESR

[Rohzek]

Trying to make a custom flowerpot; I have a TESR and it's Tile Entity stores an instance of  a BlockFlower or BlockBush as an itemstack.

So far, I've only seen information on how to render something as an EntityItem, but how do I render the flower block as a normal block, instead?

I don't see why you would want a TESR in the first place.

Because I have no idea how to do what I want (render a block you place into a tile entity as a block in the world), but Googling "Forge modding render (anything) gets 50% results for rending a custom model, and 50% results for using a TESR. I started working with the one that seemed relevant.

Take a look at the minecraft flower pot! It uses blockstates. Might be simpler.

I'm hoping to be able to support any modded flower (or at least ones which are subclasses of BlockFlower and BlockBush), which is why getting a block from an itemstack and rendering it seemed way more simple than blockstates, assuming it's possible.
