How would I fix the "X-Ray" Glitch when I make a tile entity block? I extended BlockContainer and now I cant see the block but I can see under it and through the floor.

I had this problem as well first time I tried, just don't extend block container. You don't say what version you are on, but you can either implement ITileEntityProvider or in your constructor set isBlockContainer to true, then override the createTileEntity() and hasTileEntity() methods in your block class.

Maybe I might see if anyone can help with this as is with out changing it.

I don't know why you would want to extend it, but by default BlockContainer has this method.
 

 public EnumBlockRenderType getRenderType(IBlockState state)
    {
        return EnumBlockRenderType.INVISIBLE;
    }

Which does just about what it looks like. Just override that.

You still shouldn't use BlockContainer. It's old and out of date and does a bunch of garbage (like overriding the render type) that you don't want.

so use the ITileEntityProvider is recommended?

No, that would also be wrong. ITileEntityProvider is also out of date (look, it even still uses metadata)

 

Override the createTileEntity() and hasTileEntity() from the Block class

Should I also use
this.isBlockContainer = true;?
