I don't think entity models have changed much since forever, so 1.8 or whatever should mostly still work. Anyway, tutorials should be more about teaching you the idea not about copying and pasting code.

 

How complicated of a model are you making and what kind of animation is required?

I'm trying to make a little corgi. He's pretty simple, just a head and snout, body, tail and four legs. Pretty similar to the wolf, build and animation-wise, but looks like a corgi.

 

I'm just trying to figure out what the steps are for structure within the mod (and how bloody importing animation works!). I was looking for a tutorial because I was hoping they'd go over how the files are organized. I know there was a change from Anvil to .json files from 1.7.10 to 1.8, so I was looking for 1.8+ tutorials (and cannot find) just in case. I think I'm either not searching correctly or this is so simple that there isn't a tutorial out there and/or I'm just a dumb.

 

Is it possible to locate the normal minecraft files within my computer so I could look at file hierarchy? And where the heck can I learn how to import animations? Those are my biggest concerns right now.

As far as I know the change to JSON files only was for block and item models, and entity models are still "hard-coded" in model classes. For example, look at the ModelWolf class.

 

The main idea is that you need a render class and a model class (look at RenderWolf and ModelWolf for ideas) and then you need to register the render class for your entity. The model class is called by the render class.

 

Basically you should be able to get started by actually calling the wolf.

 

You won't be able to "import" the animations unless you use some sort of animation API. But if you want it to have similar animations to the wolf (it will walk around, wag its tail, sit down, etc.) you can pretty much just copy the wolf code.

      How to apply shader to a openGL render object 1.12.2

      By Sultan · Posted

      Hey guys, i'm currently developping a mod with forge 1.12.2 2860 and i'm using optifine and gradle 4.9. The thing is i'm trying to figure out how to show the player's body in first person. So far everything's going well since i've try to use a shader. The player's body started to blink dark when using a shader. I've try a lot of shader like chocapic, zeus etc etc but still the same issue. So my question is : How should i apply the current shader to the body ? At the same time i'm also drawing a HUD so maybe it could be the problem?   Here is the issue :    And here is the code where i'm trying to display the body :    private static void renderFirstPersonBody(EntityPlayerSP player, float partialTicks) { Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getMinecraft(); GlStateManager.pushMatrix(); GlStateManager.pushAttrib(); try { // Préparation OpenGL GlStateManager.enableDepth(); GlStateManager.depthMask(true); GlStateManager.enableAlpha(); GlStateManager.alphaFunc(GL11.GL_GREATER, 0.1F); GlStateManager.enableBlend(); GlStateManager.blendFunc(GL11.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL11.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA); // Éclairage correct pour shaders GlStateManager.enableLighting(); RenderHelper.enableStandardItemLighting(); GlStateManager.enableRescaleNormal(); // Active la lightmap pour les shaders mc.entityRenderer.enableLightmap(); // Position de rendu interpolée double px = player.lastTickPosX + (player.posX - player.lastTickPosX) * partialTicks; double py = player.lastTickPosY + (player.posY - player.lastTickPosY) * partialTicks; double pz = player.lastTickPosZ + (player.posZ - player.lastTickPosZ) * partialTicks; GlStateManager.translate( px - mc.getRenderManager().viewerPosX, py - mc.getRenderManager().viewerPosY, pz - mc.getRenderManager().viewerPosZ ); // Rendu du joueur sans la tête Render<?> render = mc.getRenderManager().getEntityRenderObject(player); if (render instanceof RenderPlayer) { RenderPlayer renderPlayer = (RenderPlayer) render; boolean oldHeadHidden = renderPlayer.getMainModel().bipedHead.isHidden; boolean oldHeadwearHidden = renderPlayer.getMainModel().bipedHeadwear.isHidden; renderPlayer.getMainModel().bipedHead.isHidden = true; renderPlayer.getMainModel().bipedHeadwear.isHidden = true; setArmorHeadVisibility(renderPlayer, false); renderPlayer.doRender(player, 0, 0, 0, player.rotationYaw, partialTicks); renderPlayer.getMainModel().bipedHead.isHidden = oldHeadHidden; renderPlayer.getMainModel().bipedHeadwear.isHidden = oldHeadwearHidden; setArmorHeadVisibility(renderPlayer, !oldHeadwearHidden); } // Nettoyage post rendu mc.entityRenderer.disableLightmap(); GlStateManager.disableRescaleNormal(); } catch (Exception e) { // silent fail } finally { GlStateManager.popAttrib(); GlStateManager.popMatrix(); } }   Ty for your help.

      How Can I Safely Play an Old Version of Minecraft?

      By amelia2132 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m hoping to revisit an old version of Minecraft — specifically around Beta 1.7.3 — for nostalgia’s sake. I’ve heard you can do this through the official Minecraft Launcher, but I’m unsure how to do it safely without affecting my current installation or save files. Are there any compatibility issues I should watch out for when switching between versions? Would really appreciate any tips or advice from anyone who’s done this before! – Adam
