In the past I've experienced this by mistake, but now I want it to happen but I can't get it to work.

 

Here's what I have:

 

And here's what I want:

 

I've tried so many different things and I've looked through google for hours, but I just can't get it to work.

If anyone has advice for helping me out, I would really appreciate it. Thanks

(Bump)

I did a little bit of searching and it seems like the last option is a TileEntitySpecialRenderer class tessellator (I barely even know what that is).

Does anyone have any input on this? Is this wrong, or is there a better way?

Also, can anyone give some help on how to link the tessellator to the block? I have it registered but I don't know how to assign the block to execute this renderTileEntity function. Plus I would need some help on actually rendering the block with GlStateManager or whatever I'm supposed to use. 

 

I would really appreciate any sort of input! I've been stressing over this simple feature for a whole day. Thanks!

 

ClientRegistry.bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer(TileEntity.class, new RenderGlow());

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public class RenderGlow extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer<TileEntity> {
	
	@Override
	public void renderTileEntityFast(TileEntity te, double x, double y, double z, float partialTicks, int destroyStage, float partial, net.minecraft.client.renderer.BufferBuilder buffer) {
		Tessellator tessellator = Tessellator.getInstance();
        bindTexture(TextureMap.LOCATION_BLOCKS_TEXTURE);
  
        //I don't know what to put in here :(
	}

}

tessellator

It's been renamed. It's essentially a wrapper around OpenGL commands. I think it's called VertexBuffer now.

The renderTileEntityFast function has an argument 

net.minecraft.client.renderer.BufferBuilder buffer

Is this what I need to use?

I saw something online that named a BufferBuilder type as VertexBuffer.

Yeah, that could be. I haven't managed to keep up with the renames.
