[1.12.2] Rendering block as inventory Item

[American2050]

I have a TileEntity Block in my mod that I am registering with the ClientRegistry#bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer

 

What I'm not sure now is how to I register the items for that block to render correctly when on inventory.

Any guidance would we appreciate.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

PS: On some old mod I had in 1.7.10 there was an IItemRenderer I remember

Hi pal!

I'm not really knowledgable about rendering TESR as blocks in the inventory, but as long as you at least register a renderer for your ItemBlock it should at least call from that as long as your JSON files points to the block model as its parent and you give it the "inventory" variant in blockstates.

Hopefully someone with experience in this will be along shortly but I will ask my friends for you and get back to you if they have a solution.

Best of luck!

Well, in my case I don't have .json files as what is rendering the TileEntity is a TileEntitySpecialRenderer Class

Is your model animated?

Yes, it's exactly like a Shulker Box from Minecraft.

As for now what I was doing is setting the textures like for other blocks, with .json files. But I believe that's not the optimal way to do it. Specially because the block also has "facing" properties. (Block on inventory doesn't need to change orientation at all)
