Am I doing something wrong here, or do I actually have to make an update packet just to send in the onLoad()?

TileEntity class is here

My exact problem is that I have a TESR which can hold one ItemStack, and renders that stack above itself. When loading into the world, nothing renders until I take out and put the item back in, since my right click method is called on both sides. Is there some simple way to sync them or do I have to make a sync packet myself?

.You should instead use a custom IBakedModel and add the quads of the Item to the Blocks model.

Override TileEntity#getUpdatePacket/getUpdateTag/onDataPacket/handleUpdateTag

It also rotates, forgot to say that, so unless it can rotate the way you said.

 

Also the getUpdateTag is the one thing I was missing, thanks. Had no need to do onDataPacket or handleUpdateTag though.

Some(for example beds and shields) items in the game are rendered via a TileEntityItemStackRenderer. Those can't be rendered through a IBakedModel since they don't have one themselves. It also won't work with modded items which use TEISR.

I'm not sure if TEISRs are given GL access, but the  it could be done using a combination of the two. If you use a TESR that doesnt do anything but a single conditional check every frame except for when the Item uses a TEISR it should be a better performing render. The reason I brought up GL access is TESRFast would obviously be the better method instead of just a TESR.
