1.10.2 Partially transparent block, forge multilayer isn't working

[Maideniles]

I'm making a block that has some transparent parts on the front.  I tried using the BlockRenderLayer method for a transparent block, and it looked glitchy and awful. I did some digging and found that I can use a multi layer blockstates file to render the two separate pieces of my block. I have two block models, one with the regular solid layer, the other with the translucent layer that goes on the front.  When I load my game, I get the dreaded purple and black block that says I've goofed up somewhere. I went as far as to test each separate model in game by replacing an existing block model with each of the models in question. They both work, so I am stumped.  My Console does show errors that there was an exception loading the models into the file but it doesn't give any more specifics.  Can someone help me figure out where I've gone wrong?  Thanks.

 

Here is what I am working with:

 

blockstates file: 

{
    "forge_marker": 1,
    "defaults": {
        "model": "forge:multi-layer",
        "transform": "forge:default-block"

                "Translucent": "mff:backsplash_bricks#trans"
            }
        }],
        "base": [{
            "model": "backsplash_base"
        }],
        "trans": [{
            "model": "backsplash_bricks"
        }]
    }
}

Here you go. Thanks for looking at this with me.

That contains no errors.

[Maideniles]

Oh, heavens. I pasted the wrong thing, sorry about that. Here is the correct log.

And three or so MissingVariantException for the lamp1

 

I don't see an error related to the backsplash_base.

[Maideniles]

I copied another log from an earlier try. This time I checked, the error is in there. Sorry about the confusion. As for the other errors you mentioned, those are from when I started the mod last year and left a few block projects unfinished. lol

 Is there anything else I would have had to add to the code, besides the Block can render in layer method?

[Maideniles]

Bump...

If there is more than one error in the log, could you please remove all the other error causing items/blocks besides the one you want us to debug. It honestly makes the log hell to go through. But I believe what you need to do is in your blockstate the model paths need block/ in front of them.

[Maideniles]

Yes, I thought that might be it, too, so i tried that before i posted this. It didn't work, unfortunatley. I am working, so when i am done i will see if i can clean up the log file. Thanks for helping.

Hi, sorry it took so long to get this.  I went back and fixed a bunch of the other errors from the blocks I left unfinished last year.  The log is much shorter now and I had a much easier time finding all the errors related to this particular block. So, here you go...

No, problem and thank you for cleaning it up. The problem seems to be that the custom json object in your blockstate json refers to other blockstate files and then a variant in those files. Do you have a backsplash_bricks blockstate json that has a trans variable. And a backsplash_base blockstate json that has a base variant?

[Maideniles]

I don't... there is only one blockstates file for this one, and I did a thorough search through my entire folder to make sure that there is only one blockstates file that refers to the backsplash_bricks and backsplash_base models. Am I supposed to have a blockstate for each of those models? Or do I need to put something in the models that will connect with the blockstate?  I'm not fantastic with Java, what I know I have learned from trial and error, tutorials and just looking through github and the minecraft block classes to figure stuff out...so I'm still kind of a noob at this. 

 

As I was looking through the log from before I noticed there was reference to the blockstate not being able to find the variants for facing in the different directions.  I went back and instead of having this block extend the blockfurnishing (its the base block I use that contains the methods for facing, and connecting to eachother, etc), I changed it to just extend Block. Did that mess it up even further? I hope I didn't.  I'm half tempted to delete the whole thing from the mod and start the block from scratch...?

That is not the correct way to specify variants.

I'm sorry, this is my first time doing something complicated ike this with json files. I know how to do facing and block connecting and changing the block faces depending on the state. I didn't even know that multi-layering is possible until I read those forum posts about it.  I was just following what I saw since they had the same problem, and they managed to get it working with the suggestions and corrections given to them.   I have tried putting mff:block/backsplash_base, and mff:block/backsplash_bricks to point to the models that I made for it. It still didn't work.

So you are saying that my code isn't telling it that the variants are the models, rather, it is referencing other (nonexistent) blockstates?  I'm sorry if I sound like a dunce here, like I said, I'm still learning.  If that is the case, do you have a suggestion that would help it point to the models instead?

Instead of backsplash_base and backsplash_bricks put the name of your blockstate file.

Instead of backsplash_base and backsplash_bricks put the name of your blockstate file.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does each model file need it's own blockstate? Is that what I'm missing?

I didn't even know that multi-layering is possible until I read those forum posts about it

That has no bearing here. You've literally stuffed things inside an object that has no relevance.

 

      "variants": {         //lets define variants!
        "foo": [{           //this is a variant type named "foo"
            "bar": { ... }  //this is the variant value named "bar" with some model overrides
        }],
        "facing": [{           //this is a variant type named "facing"
            "north": { ... },  //this is the variant value named "north" with some model overrides
            //other values (south, east, west, up, down...)
        }],
        "normal": [{        //this is a variant type named "normal"
            "custom": {     //this is the variant value named "custom"
                "base": "mff:backsplash_base#base",    //override the model property named "base" to have the value "mff:backsplash_base#base"
                "Solid": "mff:backsplash_base#base",
                "Translucent": "mff:backsplash_bricks#trans"
            }
        }],

I am almost certain that that is not what you want.

No.

 

Each block needs its own blockstate file. Models are not relevant here.
