well, that depends.
Are we talking drawing a line in 3D space (from block/entity->block/entity) or are we talking 2D (within a GUI)?

Some conversion needs to be done to update this to 1.10 (Tessellator got renamed and some of the methods refactored, but I was able to update those in another place fairly easily; this code never got ported), but here's how I drew a line between two blocks

i tried using it and fixing the errors, but ive never tried anything with OpenGL, so it created some errors

This is what the code it now: https://pastebin.com/ayFFV06m
and it gives an error at line 10: tess.begin(7, new VertexFormat());
and i think it would probably make some more errors with the code using the Tessellator

[Draco18s]

I believe that got replaces with something like .startDrawingQuads(), though I can't remember what I was even working on that I had to update some tessellator code. 

Find some other examples (eg vanilla usage) and see what they do.

@Draco18s nope, cant see anything closely like it except .finishDrawing() (a void) and .getDrawingMode() (returns an int)

[YesImAHuman]

ive looked in the vanilla classes, i did it wrong with the VertexFormat

[YesImAHuman]

it kinda works... it doesnt create any errors, but it also doesnt create any lines...

[Kokkie]

Show your code.
