[1.12.2] Help with custom entity rendering?

I'm trying to make an item that when thrown creates a pool of fire on impact, yet I'm confused how to get it to actually render.

 

The entity functions as it should, and it renders fine in hand/inventory.

But the entity itself just won't render.

 

I see some people say to register entities from init() and some from preInit() so I tried both, each with negative results.

 

If I call the registry in preInit() as soon as it's thrown and tries to render, the game crashes with a NullPointerException:

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

But if I call the registry in init() instead of crashing, everything works perfectly except that it renders as just a small white cube.

 

 

Any help?

Please read https://gist.github.com/Cadiboo/fbea89dc95ebbdc58d118f5350b7ba93. Get rid of all of this 

// This is called from ClientProxy
	public static void render()
	{
		RenderItem renderItem = Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem();
		RenderManager renderManager = Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderManager();

		RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityFirebomb.class, new IRenderFactory<EntityFirebomb>()
		{
			@Override
			public Render<? super EntityFirebomb> createRenderFor(RenderManager manager)
			{
				return new RenderSnowball<EntityFirebomb>(renderManager, claybomb, renderItem);
			}
		});
	}

and replace it with something that isn't broken. You're passed a RenderManager in from createRenderFor why do you use the other one. Why does the other one even exist? Heres an example of how to register a renderer https://github.com/Cadiboo/WIPTech/blob/fb5883e9d76ef0361ec1ebbcb9c508611dd2ef6b/src/main/java/cadiboo/wiptech/client/ClientEventSubscriber.java#L137

The RenderManager was only there because of something else I was trying that didn't work; forgot to remove it.

 

Also, changing it to this...

  Reveal hidden contents

still produces the same result. Renders a white cube instead of the item. Did I miss something?

Unless you're trying to render a white cube, it means that your renderer isn't getting registered properly. Please post your code as a working GitHub repository.
