I'm trying to add a block with a little transparency - (10% reduction of the texture's alpha).

 

The "isOpaqueCube" and "isTranslucent" methods are deprecated, but I can't find what they're supposed to be replaced by.

 

    @Override
    public boolean isOpaqueCube(IBlockState state)
    {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isTranslucent(IBlockState state)
    {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public BlockRenderLayer getBlockLayer() {
        return BlockRenderLayer.TRANSLUCENT;
    }

 

These deprecated methods "work" (the blocks behind mine render correctly now), except I have a new issue where the faces between two of these blocks double up and create ugly faces.

 

Advice on both problems appreciated.

The deprecation of methods inside of the Block class (apart from forge-provided ones) mean "Don't call directly but is safe to override".

Override Block#shouldSideBeRendered

Thanks you solved my issues!

im also having the same problem, where would would i paste 

@Override
    public boolean isOpaqueCube(IBlockState state)
    {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isTranslucent(IBlockState state)
    {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public BlockRenderLayer getBlockLayer() {
        return BlockRenderLayer.TRANSLUCENT;
    }

Don't hijack old threads. Make your own, especially since your issue is unrelated to the one OP once had.

You put these in your block class of course.

thank you
