So your saying, glass panes are tile entities

[Mazetar]

A block that needs more information than the metadata can hold needs to have an TileEntity, its basicly a way of storing extra information for blocks, such as burning time for the Furnace.

@thebest108: Of course not. If it's a simple thing like glass panes, stairs, etc. you can use a custom BlockRenderer (ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler). But if you want a real Model (e.g. from Techne) like chests you need to have a TileEntity.

 

Again, I haven't tested it, but I bet it is possible to render a model from within a custom block render handle class as well. It's just reading some data and setting up GL accordingly, this can be done from pretty much anywhere.
