[1.15.2] Render Item on Block

[Ryze]

How would I go about rendering an item on my block, when right-clicked with the item.

 

Reading through forum posts, I've seen people suggesting using a TileEntityRenderer and also baking the Item into the block using the IModel(s) (however I cant find that in the same package in 1.15 although its on the 1.15 docs, is something else used now?)

 

Which approach is better in certain circumstances and how would I go about implementing either of them? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

It depends on your situation. Is there a finite number of possible Items? Will there be animation IE moving parts?

If there are finite possible items just make a model for each state.

If there are moving parts you have to use a TER.

If there are no moving parts, but an infinite amount of possible Items then you should have a custom IBakedModel.

 

The first is obvious how to do. The second vanilla has a Model class that it uses, you should probably use that. Take a peek at the Vanilla TileEntityRenderers. For the third option you need your own IBakedModel implementation that combines the Quads of an Item(s) with the Quads of your Block model. Then you must register it using the ModelBakeEvent by just putting it in the registry.

I have the Item rendering on the block using a custom IBakedModel implementation, but the item seems to have a 16 x 16 invisible background that clips through the model at certain angles, any ideas?

Nevermind, just had to change the RenderType for the block.

check net.minecraft.client.renderer.ItemRenderer#renderItem out

you can get it with Minecraft#getItemRenderer

and the minecraft instance just with Minecraft#getInstance
