Using an already existing block texture

[Xcisso]

Hello!

Im trying to get a texture from a block, and use a Render class to render a quad in the world with that texture on it.

I have everything except how to actually find a block in the world, and get its texture to use in the render class.

 

this is what ive got so far, i need the resourcelocation from the blocks model texture. And i cant for the life of me figure out how to get it..

//IBakedModel bakedModel = mc.getRenderItem().getItemModelWithOverrides(stack, entity.world, mc.player);
IBakedModel bakedModel = mc.getBlockRendererDispatcher().getModelForState(waypoint.blockType.getDefaultState());
TextureAtlasSprite sprite = bakedModel.getQuads(waypoint.blockState, EnumFacing.EAST, 0).get(0).getSprite();


this.bindTexture(new ResourceLocation(sprite.getIconName())); 	//This is where i need the resource location.. I already got a block and 
																//blockstate and everything else imaginable, except for the resource location.

 

 

So far ive tried to create a new ResourceLocation with the name of the blocks texture, but i get a FileNotFound exception, and a black and pink square as shown in the screenshot.

 

Im not sure if i should create a new ResourceLocation, or get one from the blocks model?

 

Also not that everything works exactly like i want it with text and textures that i create. Just not when i try to grab a texture from a block.

Blocks are made of models.

Models have 1 or more textures.

Which texture do you want?

Any. I want to be able to get access to the block's textures And choose the one I want.

 

If you look at my example with the sprite.getIconName(), I end up with a string "minecraft:blocks/sandstone_top", (or _side)

 

If I try to use that string in a new resourcelocation, and bind it, I get a file not found exception.

All sprites(blocks & items) are stored in one texture which is TextureMap.LOCATION_BLOCKS_TEXTURE. TextureAtlasSprite contains the UV coordinates for that sprite on this texture.

 Yea, and how would I access that texture? ?

The field is public. just bind

Then use the UVs from the TextureAtlasSprite when making vertices with the BufferBuilder.

oh, im sorry! I read your answer on my mobile, and didnt see you mentioning the TextureMap.LOCATION.

 

Thank you very much, this was a bit of a pain to figure out! 

 

Its been 4 years since i touched minecraft modding, so it takes a bit of trying and failing to get back into it.

 

Also, thanks for the quick reply, this has caused me a bit of a headache today
