[1.12.2] Modifying vanilla blocks to render translucent texture

[Eedelia01]

A very long time ago, around 1.8, I created a base mod by recompiling minecraft and editing some class files so that ore blocks would handle rendering transparent textures like how glass does. I've recently set up an Eclipse workspace and am ready to get started but most guides for first time users are looking to create items that are new and don't already exist. 

 

I'll admit, I feel just a bit out of my element getting started on this. If someone would know what methods I could use to get a change like this to occur, or has a mod that modifies vanilla blocks that I could look to as an example, I would be extremely grateful. I was able to use this transparent feature on a number of different placable items with quite interesting effect. Here's some doors I made with transparent textures for example:

I started cooking up a class that would extend from BlockOre, and then use @Override to get the rendering rules I want loaded into BlockOre.java , but although my eventHandler was able to try to do it's thing, I received dozens of errors complaining that minecraft:blockore didn't have a json or a model. 

 

I understand that I need to get my event handler into a separate file, setup a github, etc. I'd like to know however, if I'm on the right track? I suspect that what I will in fact be doing is that since there are listings in Block like

 registerBlock(14, "gold_ore", (new BlockOre()).setHardness(3.0F).setResistance(5.0F).setSoundType(SoundType.STONE).setUnlocalizedName("oreGold"));

that what I may want to do is try to register my overrides to the vanilla ore types instead, as they have jsons and models?
