Cutout Block Still Culling Adjacent Block Faces

Posted January 10, 20196 yr

Hi there,

My goal is to have this block look kind of like a lone fence post (minus attaching to adjacent blocks) where the object is cutout and the surfaces of the blocks around it are rendered. I've tried duplicating a fence post but that became overly complicated and I got a bit lost. Sadly this is what my block is doing so far (see attached).

Using Eclipse and modding MC 1.12.2. Here's my block class and definition:

package com.testmod.mod.blocks;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState;
import net.minecraft.util.BlockRenderLayer;

public class BlockBasic extends Block {
	public BlockBasic(String name, Material material) {
		super(material);
		setUnlocalizedName(name);
		setRegistryName(name);
	}
	
    public BlockRenderLayer getBlockLayer()
    {
        return BlockRenderLayer.TRANSLUCENT;
    }

    public boolean isFullCube(IBlockState state)
    {
        return false;
    }
    
    public boolean isOpaqueCube() {
    	return false;
    }
    
    public boolean isVisuallyOpaque() {
    	return false;
    }
}

package com.testmod.mod.init;

import com.testmod.mod.Reference;
import com.testmod.mod.blocks.BlockBasic;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.block.model.ModelResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemBlock;
import net.minecraftforge.client.event.ModelRegistryEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.client.model.ModelLoader;
import net.minecraftforge.event.RegistryEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid=Reference.MODID)
public class ModBlocks {
	static Block firstBlock;
	static Block fenceDupe;
	
    public static void init() {
    	firstBlock = new BlockBasic("firstBlock", Material.WOOD);
	}
    
    public boolean isOpaqueCube(IBlockState state)
    {
        return false;
    }

    public boolean isFullCube(IBlockState state)
    {
        return false;
    }
	
	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void registerBlocks(RegistryEvent.Register<Block> event) {
		event.getRegistry().registerAll(firstBlock);
	}
	
	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void registerItemBlocks(RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event) {
		event.getRegistry().registerAll(new ItemBlock(firstBlock).setRegistryName(firstBlock.getRegistryName()));
	}
	
	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void registerRenders(ModelRegistryEvent event) {
		registerRender(Item.getItemFromBlock(firstBlock));
	}
	
	public static void registerRender(Item item) {
		ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation( item.getRegistryName(), "inventory"));
	}
}

I've added what I *think should be working, but no joy. Anyone point me in the right direction? BTW; new to Minecraft modding so forgive me if I've missed something obvious.

Thanks!

I think you need to override Block#isNormalCube.

Ah I had forgotten to add that back in. I tried many variants as I went down the code rabbit hole. It still shows the same though.

Try overriding isOpaqueCube() and isFullCube() to return false.

I already have this to override, is there another way to override them that's more reliable?

    public BlockRenderLayer getBlockLayer()
    {
        return BlockRenderLayer.TRANSLUCENT;
    }
    
    public boolean isNormalCube(IBlockState state)
    {
        return false;
    }

    public boolean isFullCube(IBlockState state)
    {
        return false;
    }
    
    public boolean isOpaqueCube(IBlockState state) {
    	return false;
    }
    
    public boolean isVisuallyOpaque() {
    	return false;
    }

No, those overrides should be sufficient. What does your model JSON look like?

Also, you should be using CUTOUT_MIPPED for your block render layer (getBlockLayer()). TRANSLUCENT is for blocks like glass or ice.

After weeding out chaff leftover from debugging...

For anyone running into this, if you use:

public class YourBlockClass extends Block {

    public BlockRenderLayer getBlockLayer()
    {
        return BlockRenderLayer.CUTOUT_MIPPED;
    }

...
}

You also need to include:

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

In the end though, (for my block purposes anyhow) I was able to omit the usage of BlockRenderLayer getBlockLayer() and now only use isOpaqueCube(IBlockState state) in my block class. The reason it wasn't working before is because I didn't include the passed variable "IBlockState state" in my early debugging (see my initial post). I was having a hard time finding a working example since it took a while for me to find a way to see minecraft source code that wasn't obfuscated (mc modding newb). Hope this helps someone!
