What do I have to do to get transparent textures into the game? 
I have overwritten "isTransparent" and "isVaiableOpacity" but it remains grey where it should be transparent.
It is a SixWayBlock that I have overwritten. Blockstate and models load normally.

Hi

You may need to set a different rendertype eg

public class StartupClientOnly
{
  /**
   * Tell the renderer this is a solid block (default is translucent)
   * @param event
   */
  @SubscribeEvent
  public static void onClientSetupEvent(FMLClientSetupEvent event) {
    RenderTypeLookup.setRenderLayer(yourBlockInstance, RenderType.getTranslucent());
  }
}

where your main mod class has done this:

    MOD_EVENT_BUS.register(StartupClientOnly.class);

although the default is translucent so that seems less likely.

 

Are you sure that your block texture has an alpha channel with the proper values for transparency?

Try the cutout rendertype, that's what I had to use for my custom flowers/plants.
