[ANSWERED]

How do I make my Blocks have an Opacity like Glass

I tried going to another question but I couldn't find my answer

 

I tried using isOpaqueCube from Block.java

but It throughs an error because it is final

@Override
public final boolean isOpaqueCube(BlockState state, IBlockReader worldIn, BlockPos pos) {
    return false;
}

 

I do not know how to do this can someone please help.

 

here is my code:

Spoiler

import net.minecraft.block.Block; import net.minecraft.block.SoundType; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material; import net.minecraftforge.common.ToolType; public class Plexiglass extends Block { public Plexiglass() { super(Properties.create(Material.GLASS) .sound(SoundType.METAL) .hardnessAndResistance(5.0f) .lightValue(14) .harvestTool(ToolType.PICKAXE) .variableOpacity() ); setRegistryName("plexiglass"); } }

For a similar effect in my mod (translucent crystal), I override isOpaqueCube and getBlockLayer in my block class.

 

	@Override
	public boolean isOpaqueCube(IBlockState state)
	{
		return false;
	}
	
	@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
	public BlockRenderLayer getBlockLayer()
	{
		return BlockRenderLayer.TRANSLUCENT;
	}

I'm pretty sure this is for 1.12 correct?

That's correct, I'm using 1.12.2. I didn't think those methods would have changed between versions, but it's possible that they did. If so, I'm sorry about the confusion.

You may still need to override the two of them, but if it's significantly different in 1.14, then you should take my advice with a grain of salt.

It's called getRenderLayer now, and it is the only thing you have to override.

Thank you!

I tried using the methods for my Minecraft mod, but they don't seem to be working.
