My Goal: I want a block that ignores "light effects".

I believe I can accomplish this with a tile entity, but cant fully figure out TileEntityRenderer. 

 

So to start with my TileEntityRenderer class:

public class TestTileRenderer extends TileEntityRenderer<TestTile> {
    @Override
    public void render(TestTile te, double x, double y, double z, float partialTicks, int destroyStage) {
  		this.setLightmapDisabled(true);
    }
}

I believe that should disable "light effects", but seems to have no effect.  I'm sure it's my lack of understanding that is the problem.   But if anyone could point out something that i'm doing wrong I would appreciate it or know of another way of achieving my goal.

 

Maybe I am registering it wrong:

 

@Mod("genericname")
public class GenericName {

    ...

    public GenericName() {

        FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus().addListener(this::clientRegistries);
        ...
    }
	...
    }

    private void clientRegistries(final FMLCommonSetupEvent event) {
        ClientRegistry.bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer(TestTile.class, new TestTileRenderer());
    }

That's not where this method tells you to call it. Read the documentation.

 

It seems to have no effect, because your renderer does not actually render anything...

Duh. Thanks. So now that I have that fixed I'm having an issue with the render. 

 

This is what it occasionally looks like, and how it should look.

But then it well look like this with the cut outs rendering black which just doesn't look appealing.

Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.

 

Here is my new render code if that helps.

 

    @Override
    public void render(DiamondTreeLeavesTile tileEntityIn, double x, double y, double z, float partialTicks, int destroyStage) {
        GlStateManager.enableDepthTest();
        GlStateManager.depthFunc(515);
        GlStateManager.depthMask(true);
        GlStateManager.pushMatrix();
        GlStateManager.translatef((float)x , (float)y , (float)z);
        this.bindTexture(TEXTURE);
        this.setLightmapDisabled(true);
        this.isGlobalRenderer(tileEntityIn);
        MODEL.renderThis();
        this.setLightmapDisabled(false);
        GlStateManager.popMatrix();
    }

 

 

 

Unless there's a reason you need to, you should definitely use a FastTESR here instead of a normal one, to have much lower performance impact. That would fix your transparency issue, too, since the settings are already correct. Otherwise, I think you need to GlStateManager#enableAlpha().

 

As an aside, what's with the translatef() and isGlobalRenderer() calls?
