Hello, I'm trying to create a very simple mod. all i want it to do is override all blocks to render the same way as ice and stained glass do: semi-transparently.

 

the reason is because im trying to make a resource pack with transparent models on things like redstone lamps, jukeboxes, etc. but it doesnt work in vanilla minecraft.

 

the code i've tried is this, but it doesnt work and im wondering what it even does for that matter:

 

package com.Fennecai.TransparencyMod;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

public class makeitseethrough extends Block
{
	public makeitseethrough(Material materialIn) {
		super(materialIn);
		// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
	}

	public boolean isOpaqueCube() 
	{
	return false;
	}
}
	

 

You can't do this easily.

 

And your "attempt" makes no sense because a subclass of a class can't change the way other subclasses act.
