[1.15.2] Cannot create translucent blocks

Posted March 30, 20205 yr

I'm trying to create transparent/translucent blocks in Minecraft 1.15.2 (Forge v. 31.1.30).

The leaves and flowers in the screenshot below should have cutout spots, while the blue blocks on the right should be translucent (semi-transparent) like glass or ice.

And yes I am using the notSolid() property, I have overridden getAmbientOcclusionLightValue, propagatesSkylightDown, isNormalCube and isSideInvisible, I have even tried using the default GlassBlock class for the blue block on the right (same result).

I am trying to port a mod from 1.14.4, the blocks looked fine in that version

Fourth result.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

Wow that's an unnecessarily complicated change

Thank god I can use Kotlin extension properties... And I'm already using reflection for registration ?

A little more complicated, but not unnecessary. It's down to how 1.15 handles rendering, basically by combining all operations for particular render type together, which greatly reduces the number of OpenGL state changes needed. It's a big performance boost.

What I find unnecessary is the fact that this can't be set though a block property (eg. setRenderType(RenderType)) and handled during block registration; after all it's very similar to what I'm doing now with reflection so it's definitely possible

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I do have to add that this is my answer for 1.12.2 but it should ALSO work for future versions.

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I know this was posted almost 3 years ago but this is for anyone who is still looking for an answer.

First, find your config folder. -> C:\Users\ (desktop user's name) \curseforge(or the application where you've downloaded you mod)\minecraft\Instances\config (The config folder should be in the same folder as your mods folder.) Once you click on the config folder, search for CustomNpcs.cfg. Once found, click on it (you can edit it using notepad) and search for the line "headweartype". Set the value to 0 if you want a 2d head layer, set it to 1 for a 3d head layer. Then save the options and you should be good to go from there! :)

[1.21.3] How to add effects to food?

game changed the way you create foods.
for example minecraft 1.21.8 code for the golden apple is

Foods.java
public static final FoodProperties GOLDEN_APPLE = new FoodProperties.Builder().nutrition(4).saturationModifier(1.2F).alwaysEdible().build();

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));

Consumables.java
public static final Consumable GOLDEN_APPLE = defaultFood() .onConsume( new ApplyStatusEffectsConsumeEffect( List.of(new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.REGENERATION, 100, 1), new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.ABSORPTION, 2400, 0)) ) )
