[1.12] [Solved] Get IBakedModel from ItemStack

[mysticalherobine]

EDIT: I solved how to make a custom renderer for the Item, but I need to render the selected item over it. I can't figure out how to do such a thing, any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

 

OLD:

Hey there! So my problem is that I don't quite understand how to dynamically render items using things such as IModel or IBakedModel.

The task is pretty simple, I just want to render my item, then in a layer above, render the currently selected item from within the item's Inventory. Essentially, a backpack that allows you to scroll to a specific item, using shift-scroll, to place down blocks. But, for better or for worse, I can't quite get my head around how to use the classes to render the item in such a way. I assume that it wouldn't be to hard and I'm just over looking something.

 

Thanks for any help in advance!

Bump, edited main post for a new question of sorts, but still related enough to not make a new one.

Use RenderItem#getItemModelWithOverrides to get the IBakedModel for an ItemStack.
