Block texture works in inventory, invisible when placed

[Zuve]

My custom block is visible in the inventory, but when placed it is invisible. The texture is registering on some level, as it functions in the inventory, and when the block is broken the particles match the texture. The following are my JSON files for the blocks.

 

BlockState JSON:

  Reveal hidden contents

{
   "variants": {
          "": [{ "model": "bettermusicmod:block/recorder" }]
   }
}

Block Model JSON:

  Reveal hidden contents

{
   "parent": "block/orientable",
   "textures": {
       "top": "bettermusicmod:block/recorder",
       "front": "bettermusicmod:block/recorder_front",
       "side": "bettermusicmod:block/recorder"
   }
}

Item Model JSON:

  Reveal hidden contents

{
   "parent": "bettermusicmod:block/recorder",
   "display": {
       "thirdperson": {
           "rotation": [ 10, -45, 170 ],
           "translation": [ 0, 1.5, -2.75 ],
           "scale": [ 0.375, 0.375, 0.375 ]
       }
   }
}

Each variant needs to point to an object not an array of objects (remove the []). Your log should be telling you this

Fixed this, but the issue still persists. There are no errors in the log, but the block remains invisible.

Please show the code for your block. I have a very strong suspicion it extends BlockContainer.

Thanks, this pointed me in the right direction. I was missing methods for the direction and render type.

You should not be overriding extending BlockContainer.

BlockContainer is legacy vanilla code. Forge provides a much better system

I wasn't aware of this. Do you have links to any documentation for the system? Searching for forge custom container doesn't seem to show me anything.

Just override hasTileEntity(IBlockState) and createTileEntity(IBlockState). That’s it
