How do I make my block have a custom render> (EG Chest, signs ect)

[Cyani]

I have a render, but what would I do to make the block show up as it?

Extend your block class as BlockContainer, make a TileEntity and TileEntitRenderer classes, then put the code in to

your block class

public boolean renderAsNormalBlock()
    {
        return false;
    }

public boolean isOpaqueCube()
    {
        return false;
    }

public int getRenderType()
    {
        return 0;
    }

public boolean shouldSideBeRendered(IBlockAccess iblockaccess, int i, int j, int k, int l) {
        return false;
}
public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World world) {
	return new TileEntityYourBlock();
}

your main class load method

ModLoader.registerTileEntity(net.yourpackage.src.TileEntityYourBlock.class, "Name", new TileEntityYourBlockRenderer());

Using ModLoader classes is bad practice when coding with Forge!

Use this:

GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(

 

 

PS: If you find something which you can use with a ModLoader class, look into that class and you'll see the forge equivalent. Basically all ModLoader classes are just wrappers to accomplish compatibility with ModLoader mods.

If ModLoader classes are just wrappers to accomplish compatibility, there's no difference what to use. I just took my old code, find out it's still working and continued using it.

Ok thanks, but , are there any detailed tutoraials on this? I am still a bit confused

That is not the point! Always use Forge methods! Why? ModLoader is client-only. What if you have loads of ModLoader stuff and want to use your mod on a server or make it compatible with it? You simply have to use the Forge methods, because ModLoader is simply not there, since it's client-only.

Okay, i see your point. But there's no registerTileEntity method in GameRegistry.

Yes there is, look at the class itself. It's in there, most of my mods use it:

public static void registerTileEntity(Class<? extends TileEntity> tileEntityClass, String id)

[redria7]

Related to this discussion on ModLoader vs Forge commands, I have the method

 

public static void registerTileEntity(Class<? extends TileEntity> tileEntityClass, String id)

 

But I am unsure on how this will connect to my TileEntityRenderer class. My block works except I can't seem to attach the proper rendering to it.

How do I connect my TileEntityRenderer class to the block to make sure my rendering gets used?

You do this with ClientRegistry.bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer. Put that in your Proxy to avoid crashes with the server.
