Hi everyone. I am making a mod where there is a block that can "mask" itself so that people can't find it. However, I cannot seem to get the code to work, no matter how hard I try. I have tried a

TileEntitySpecialRenderer

, however this wouldn't work, I also have tried storing the blockstate and simply returning the blockstate in the tileentity in

getExtendedState()

 and

getActualState()

, but nothing works. I don't understand why. A little help would help me greatly.

You don't need TEs or TESRs for this, is possible with blockstates.

 

Take a look at GreyGhosts's Minecraft By Example mod:
