So I have a mob whose job it is is to drop enchanted golden apples. As such, I'd like the entity itself to have the enchantment glint present like items would, except I can't just override the hasEffect() method like an item. I thought about taking the texture and using it as a second layer but I have no idea where to begin as far as the code.

You might want to look at how RenderItem#renderEffect works

I've noticed that the function is using a TextureManager. Is there any other way to apply the texture to the model?

Why? I’m sure there is but due to how the enchantment texture works, it will probably require some significant effort to do.

Simply because I'm not familiar with how TextureManager works. Oh well, looks like I've got some researching to do.

this.textureManager.bindTexture(RES_ITEM_GLINT); simply sets the texture that is going to be used when rendering the next thing. This call just sets the texture to the item glint/enchantment texture. 

So I've implemented the code but nothing happens. Where should I call the bindTexture() function? Code:

No. Use constructor references

Don’t store this in a static field unless it changes

No. Use Minecraft’s texture manager

You’ve got to do the rest of the rendering.
