I have a block called "fermenter" which extends the BlockContainer class however the game doesn't seem to render the model when I place the block. However when I change BlockContainer to Block, the block renders perfectly normal. I'm using BlockContainer because I want my "fermenter" to act in a similar way as the furance or brewing stand in game. I read about TESR but the documentation make it quite unclear on how to execute.

Block Class:

package me.pandaism.brewmaster.blocks;

import me.pandaism.brewmaster.lib.Reference;

/**

public class BlockFermenter extends BlockContainer {
    public BlockFermenter(String name) {
        super(Material.WOOD);
        this.setUnlocalizedName(name);
        this.setRegistryName(new ResourceLocation(Reference.MODID, name));
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World worldIn, int meta) {
        return new TileEntityFermenter();
    }
}

 

Tile Entity Class:

public class TileEntityFermenter extends TileEntity implements ITickable {

    private int fermentTime;

    public TileEntityFermenter() {
        this.fermentTime = 0;
    }

    @Override
    public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound compound) {
        this.fermentTime = compound.getInteger("FermentTime");
        super.readFromNBT(compound);
    }

    @Override
    public NBTTagCompound writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound compound) {
        compound.setInteger("FermentTime", this.fermentTime);
        return super.writeToNBT(compound);
    }

    @Override
    public void update() {
        this.fermentTime++;
        this.fermentTime %= 100;
        System.out.println("Timer: " + this.fermentTime);
    }
}

        bindTexture(new ResourceLocation(Reference.MODID, "textures/fermenter.png"));
        super.render(te, x, y, z, partialTicks, destroyStage, alpha);
    }
}

Don't extend BlockContainer instead extend Block and override createTileEntity(World, IBlockState) and hasTileEntity(IBlockState)

TESR Class:

Also why are you using a TESR?

Okay then that should make my task alot more simple

Tesr was under the docs for rendering so I implied it would be the right decision

Do you plan on having movement or the model being dynamic? If not use the JSON system.

The reason block container doesn't work is because it overrides getBlockModelType() to make the block invisible.

not moving but probably have particles to show it's active

Might I ask how does the BlockFurance class manage to have a model? Just for education purposes

That can all be done in the Block class. Look at BlockFurnace for an example of the particles. And you can look at the vanillas json files for examples of those.

Thank you that's the class I been following and around at other sources to gather more information

It also overrides the method and returns a more proper value.

I managed to do it with a BlockContainer class messing around and trying to find new ways. Just in case someone stumble on this post
Override getRenderType and return EnumBlockRenderType.MODEL
