Rendering block and layering it with a texture. 1.15.2

[AntonBespoiasov]

public class UnderInstrumentsConstructionTileEntity extends ModTileEntity
{
	public static TileEntityType<UnderInstrumentsConstructionTileEntity> TYPE;
	
	public BlockState state;

	
	public UnderInstrumentsConstructionTileEntity(TileEntityType<?> tileEntityTypeIn)
	{
		super(TYPE);
	}


	@Override
	public CompoundNBT writeData(CompoundNBT nbt)
	{
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		return null;
	}

	@Override
	public void readData(CompoundNBT nbt)
	{
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		
	}
	
	
	class ThisTER extends TileEntityRenderer<UnderInstrumentsConstructionTileEntity>
	{
		public ThisTER(TileEntityRendererDispatcher p_i226006_1_)
		{
			super(p_i226006_1_);
		}

		@Override
		public void func_225616_a_(UnderInstrumentsConstructionTileEntity te, float f, MatrixStack matrix,
				IRenderTypeBuffer buf, int i, int i2)
		{	
			Minecraft.getInstance().getBlockRendererDispatcher().renderBlock(te.state, matrix, buf, i, OverlayTexture.field_229196_a_, EmptyModelData.INSTANCE); // TODO: Find right 4th param
		}	
	}
}

I want to create a block that will store information about another block needed to render it(e.g. this block will store block state of a fence block and then using this block state to render right model of fence). Also I want the block to be layered with some texture.

Writing above code I was stuck finding a way to render the texture(I haven't written static field storing it yet) and make it wrap around cube in the world.
I thing that using TER in this case probably isn't the right way and I should do something with my own implementation of IBakedModel.

Hi

 

You might get some clues from this project - it uses a 'camouflage cube' which copies the model + textures from adjacent blocks.
