Hi,

 

I've been trying to figure out how to get a variant property string (for the purposes of building a ModelResourceLocation for a subblock) programmatically, given a block meta and/or blockstate. The variants seem to be ordered the same as meta, but I am not sure if this is always the case. If it is, is there a better way than doing blockState.getValue(blockState.getPropertyKeys(...))? If it is not the case, how would one achieve this?

 

Also, I've noticed there is a getVariants method in BlockStateMapper, but I'm unable to get a handle on the BlockModelShapes as early as I require (in the ModelRegistryEvent) sadly.

 

Cheers.

Create an instance of an anonymous class that extends StateMapperBase and implements StateMapperBase#getModelResourceLocation to return a dummy ModelResourceLocation (e.g. new ModelResourceLocation("minecraft:air")). You can then use StateMapperBase#getPropertyString to get a property string to use as the variant of a ModelResourceLocation.

 

You can see how I do this in my mod here and here.

Oh wow that seems really obvious now, I already use #getPropertyString in an actual StateMapper already *facepalm*

 

Thanks heaps!

 

An aside, would you happen to have any recommended reading for the latest Forge stuff (in addition to the Forge docs and TheGreyGhost's articles/MBE repo)? I recently read a gist of yours that was helpful.

I try to keep TestMod3 up to date with the latest Forge/Minecraft changes, so you can reference it to see how to adapt to recent changes or how to implement various features.

 

You can also search this forum to see if anyone has asked about the topic before.

      Mowzie's Mobs for 1.16.5 crashes when using most items that have custom animations

      By Joeyman2525 · Posted

      My Crazy Craft Updated pack for 1.16.5 crashes whenever I use items from Mowzie's Mobs that have animations. Specifically the ones that I have tried are the Ice Crystal and the Axe of a Thousand Metals. The crash only happens when I use the ability of it, aka right click, which triggers the animation. I should note that I added around 50 other mods to the pack, two of which are the Female Gender mod and More Player Models. Could they be the source of the crash? Here is the crash log: https://mclo.gs/ZhsC793

      [1.21.5] The texture of the item is not loading.

      By Loghan · Posted

      Hey! I noticed you're trying to register your alexandrite item and possibly set its resource location manually with setId(...). I wanted to help clarify a few things that might simplify your code and avoid errors. ✅ The issue: You're using setId(...) inside the item registration like this:   public static final RegistryObject<Item> ALEXANDRITE = ITEMS.register("alexandrite", () -> new Item(new Item.Properties().useItemDescriptionPrefix() .setId(ResourceKey.create(Registries.ITEM, ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath(TutorialMod.MOD_ID, "alexandrite"))))); But: Item.Properties does not have a setId(...) method — this line will either fail or do nothing meaningful. useItemDescriptionPrefix() is mostly used for translation keys (like "item.modid.name") but isn't needed unless you have a very specific reason. 🛠 The fix: You only need to register your item like this:   public static final RegistryObject<Item> ALEXANDRITE = ITEMS.register("alexandrite", () -> new Item(new Item.Properties())); Forge automatically handles the ResourceLocation (modid:alexandrite) based on the name passed into .register(...), so there’s no need to manually assign it. 📝 For the texture: Make sure you have this file in your resources: src/main/resources/assets/tutorialmod/models/item/alexandrite.json { "parent": "item/generated", "textures": { "layer0": "tutorialmod:item/alexandrite" } } And your texture PNG goes here: src/main/resources/assets/tutorialmod/textures/item/alexandrite.png 🌍 For the name in-game: Add this to your en_us.json under: src/main/resources/assets/tutorialmod/lang/en_us.json { "item.tutorialmod.alexandrite": "Alexandrite" }   Note: if im wrong about the issues you are encountering, i apologize.

      "Custom Item Appears Transparent and Clips Through Blocks When Held — Fixed by Adding 'render_type': 'minecraft:cutout'

      By Loghan · Posted

      🛠️ Fix for Transparent or Clipping Item Render Issues When Held in First Person (Forge 1.20+) Hey everyone! I recently ran into a frustrating bug while making a custom item (a rocket) for my Forge mod, and I’m sharing the fix because it’s a bit obscure — and it worked wonders. 💥 The Problem: My item rendered semi-transparent and see-through — but only in first person. It also clipped through nearby blocks when held, unlike default items like swords or leads. The texture file was confirmed to be fully opaque (alpha 255), so the issue wasn’t the PNG itself. Interestingly, when no texture was present and the default purple-black checkerboard appeared, the clipping issue disappeared. ✅ The Fix: I ended up resolving it by randomly trying something I found on a Forge forum post about block rendering. I added this property to my item's model JSON — even though it's typically only used for blocks: { "parent": "item/generated", "textures": { "layer0": "farbeyond:item/rocket_item" }, "render_type": "minecraft:cutout" } Boom. That single line forced the item to render using a proper opaque (cutout) layer, removing all the unwanted transparency and clipping behavior in first person. 🙌 Credit: I originally found the "render_type" trick mentioned here, in a block rendering context: 👉 https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/149644-1201-help-with-transparent-blocks/ Even though it was meant for blocks, I thought, why not try it on an item? And it worked! Big thanks to the poster — this fix wouldn’t have happened without that tip. Hopefully this helps anyone else stuck on a weird rendering bug like I was. This isn’t a common item solution, so feel free to share it further. I’d love to know if it works for you too.
