In my rewrite of my old DeepNetherMod I'm currently trying to recreate the render class of the "shadow entity" from my old mod

which looked like this:

Spoiler

The code that I used to tint the ghosts and make them transparent looked like this:

	@Override
	public void doRender(EntityShadow entity, double x, double y, double z, float entityYaw, float partialTicks) 
	{
		GlStateManager.enableBlend();
		GlStateManager.enableAlpha();
		GlStateManager.color(0.2f, 0.2f, 1.0f, entity.getTransparency());
		super.doRender(entity, x, y, z, entityYaw, partialTicks);
		GlStateManager.color(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.5f);
		GlStateManager.disableBlend();
		GlStateManager.disableAlpha();
	}

 

The code I used in my rewrite was:

		GlStateManager.enableBlend();
		GlStateManager.enableAlphaTest();
		GlStateManager.color4f(0.2f, 0.2f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
		super.render(entityIn, entityYaw, partialTicks, matrixStackIn, bufferIn, packedLightIn);
		GlStateManager.disableBlend();
		GlStateManager.disableAlphaTest();

But the rendered entity wasn't tinted or transparent:

What did I do wrong?

By the way, the methods that I previously used to tint my entity and make it transparent is now deprecated...

Hi

Rendering is very different now.

Thanks. It's now working:

@Override
public void render(ShadowEntity entityIn, float entityYaw, float partialTicks, MatrixStack matrixStackIn, IRenderTypeBuffer bufferIn, int packedLightIn)
{	
	float r = 0.2f;
	float g = 0.2f;
	float b = 1.0f;
	float a = entityIn.getTransparency();
		
	// Some vanilla code		
	this.entityModel.render(matrixStackIn, ivertexbuilder, packedLightIn, i, r, g, b, flag1 ? 0.15F*a : a);
	// More vanilla code
}

	// Enable transparency
	   @Nullable
	   protected RenderType func_230042_a_(ShadowEntity p_230042_1_, boolean p_230042_2_, boolean p_230042_3_) {
	      ResourceLocation resourcelocation = this.getEntityTexture(p_230042_1_);
	      if (p_230042_3_) {
	         return RenderType.getEntityTranslucent(resourcelocation);
	      } else if (p_230042_2_) {
	         return RenderType.getEntityTranslucent(resourcelocation);
	      } else {
	         return p_230042_1_.isGlowing() ? RenderType.getOutline(resourcelocation) : null;
	      }
	   }
