I'm trying to create something similar to a snowball, egg, ender pearl, etc. So far, everything works - I can throw the item, a custom entity is spawned, it deals damage on contact w/ enemies - but I can't for the life of me figure out how to make the thrown item render. I've tried looking through the source code, and while I'm pretty sure I need to use RenderSnowball somehow, I can't figure out how to actually register the renderer.

Any help would be appreciated!

Call RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(Entity___.class, Entity___Renderer::new); in the ModelRegistry event

https://gist.github.com/Cadiboo/3f5cdb785affc069af2fa5fdf2d70358#file-clienteventsubscriber-java-L69

Unfortunately, that didn't seem to work. Here's the code I have for my ModelRegistry

package info.sciman.scistuff.client;

//imports removed for brevity

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(value=Side.CLIENT,modid= SciStuffMod.MODID)
public class ModelRegistrationHandler {

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void onRegisterModelsEvent(ModelRegistryEvent event) {

        registerEntityRenderers();

    }

    /*private static void registerModel(Item item, int meta) {
        ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(item, meta, new ModelResourceLocation(item.getRegistryName(), "inventory"));
    }*/

    private static void registerEntityRenderers() {

        RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityBrickThrowable.class, new RenderSnowball(Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderManager(),ModItems.BrickThrowable,Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem()));

    }

}

 

And my main mod class

package info.sciman.scistuff;

//imports removed for brevity

@Mod(modid=SciStuffMod.MODID, name=SciStuffMod.NAME, version=SciStuffMod.VERSION,acceptedMinecraftVersions = SciStuffMod.MC_VERSION)
public class SciStuffMod {

    //Define mod properties
    public static final String MODID = "scistuff";
    public static final String NAME = "SciStuff";
    public static final String VERSION = "0.0.0";
    public static final String MC_VERSION = "[1.12.2]";

    public static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger(SciStuffMod.MODID);

    @Mod.Instance
    public static SciStuffMod instance;

    //Eventhandlers
    @Mod.EventHandler
    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {

    }

    @Mod.EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
        EntityRegister.registerEntities();
    }

    @Mod.EventHandler
    public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {

    }

}

 

Do I have to call a method in the main class to get the ModelRegistry to work, or something?

Does the code get called? Are you passing the parameters that you want into the RenderSnowball constructor?

No.
