Block texture changing depending on vision?

[Cesar Codes]

Well, I want to replicate the block that changes texture depending on your vision, in the mod qCraft. I'm planning on making a mod called Qubit, or a successor to qCraft, which introduces more sci-fi stuff, and some texture changes. (Please tell me if a mod named Qubit already exists)

Define vision

And also show what you have tried.

Well, I didn't start my modding yet, but I'll send a qCraft video, showing the feature that I want to make (it's an official mod showcase):

 

 

 

It depends on which direction you are looking at the block. For example: I have a block, that, viewing it from south, it's a diamond block, but viewing it from north, it's a dirt block.

Well there are two ways to do this, and I am not sure which would be better.

1. Subscribe tot the RenderBlockOverlayEvent and render an overlay on your block that draws a new face on the block based on various things, player postion, block position, etc.
2. Create a FastTESR for the block and render a different model based on the various information you have. Which you can get from changing the blockstate passed into the renderFast method that you need to override.

It's a forge class. That renders a block model from a blockstate.
