So I've been creating this mod for like a week and it's been delayed because I don't know how to render a shield. You can't use the excuse "Learn Java", because I have already. I just don't know how to render a shield.

What do you mean "render a shield"? Where are you trying to render it?

Add a texture to it. The texture will be the vanilla shield texture.

Can you explain a bit more? From the end user perspective what will they see? What will they be able to do?

My custom shield will look like this.

Ah yes. Finally a useful piece of information. It is your own custom shield. Show what you have for that shield.

Wdym? The shield code or the code for adding the shield to the menu?

I'm not sure what that is/means so maybe. Just any code relating to the shield.

Ok...
 

event.getRegistry().register(new UltimateShieldItem(new Item.Properties().group(AModIMadeItemGroup.instance).setISTER(() -> () -> ItemStackTileEntityRenderer.instance)).setRegistryName("ultimate_shield"));

This right here is your problem. ItemStackTileEntityRenderer.instance only handles the vanilla Items that need an ItemStackTileEntityRenderer

Yeah, I'm keeping that there until I can find a way to render my custom item to display the vanilla shield texture.

Look at itemStackTileEntityRenderer and see how it renders the shield. Then replicate it.

() -> () -> ShieldRenderer::new

Why do you have two Suppliers?

So params work with setISTER

So params work with setISTER

setISTER takes a Supplier<Callable<ItemStackTileEntityRenderer>>

() -> is a lambda for a functional interface

ShieldRenderer::new is a Callable/constructor.

So () -> ShieldRenderer::new is a Supplier<Callable<ItemStackTileEntityRenderer>> where ShieldRenderer extends ItemStackTileEntityRenderer

No enclosing instance of the type ItemInit is accessible in scope

What is ItemInit? Your ItemStackTileEntityRenderer constructor cannot except any parameters except the ones you give it.

IE if you want it to take in an Item

setISTER(() -> () -> new ShieldRenderer(MY_ITEM))

is what it would have to look like.

ItemInit is a file, and a class.

I certainly hope so, I meant more of a what is it used for. What is that classes purpose. Why does your ShieldRenderer need it as a parameter?

Do you not store your mods items in static variables?

Just had to make my class static.

Show all of your code. And the Item models for your shield.
