I've recently been working on a mod which requires the creation of a fairly high amount of unique blocks. The small amount of block metadata has restricted me from simply multi blocking my problems away, as I have other data riding on the metadata. I was wondering if incorporating tile entities for the sole purpose of block differentiation ( i. e. I wouldn't be using most of the other features of tile entities ) would be effective, as I feel I am going to sponge up too many block ID's. Additionally, granted I know little about their performance, I fear the performance hit of using tile entities over blocks. Any feedback would be appreciated.

How will the tile entity itself be able differentiate which type of block it is? I have a multiblock mod of my own which uses metadata to determine the appropriate tile entity and, if I'm not mistaken, Minecraft uses metadata to determine texturing for anvils and ovens.

 

From my own experience, the performance hit of using a tile entity over a block isn't that large. If you're curious to test it, try replacing dirt or something with brewing stands or another tile entity in a test world.

it would simply use an int/enum field to identify what it is. this field would be setup by the item used to place the block containing this TE.

Disk space needed to save a TE is considerably bigger than just the block itselft, but unless it's naturally occuring block you have nothing to worry about. Not sure about in-game performance though, MC synchronizes TEs server->client even when not forced to, it might get ugly with a lot of TEs, but I haven't really tested it (also it might have been just a bug caused by my mod).

      [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.
