Leaf block showing transparent sections as black

[Cyanideee]

I am programming a leaf block into my mod. I added it as normal but upon opening the game all transparent sections are shown as black. I have read up on this and tried many different solutions and nothing has worked here is my code:

 

Registry Handler:

    public static void init() {

        ITEMS.register(FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus());
        BLOCKS.register(FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus());
    }


    // BLOCKS

    public static final RegistryObject<Block> SILVER_LEAVES = BLOCKS.register("silver_leaves", SilverLeaves::new);

    // BLOCK ITEM

    public static final RegistryObject<Item> SILVER_LEAVES_ITEM = ITEMS.register("silver_leaves", () -> new BlockItemBase(SILVER_LEAVES.get()));
    

    private static Block register(String key, Block blockIn) {
        return Registry.register(Registry.BLOCK, key, blockIn);
    }

}

 

SilverLeaves.java

package com.Cyanideee.UDWM.blocks;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.SoundType;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraftforge.common.ToolType;
import net.minecraftforge.common.extensions.IForgeBlockState;

public class SilverLeaves extends Block {

    public SilverLeaves() {
        super(Properties.create(Material.LEAVES)
                .hardnessAndResistance(0.2f, 0.2f)
                .sound(SoundType.PLANT)
                .notSolid()




        );



    }


}

 

{
  "parent": "block/leaves",
  "textures": {
    "all": "udwm:blocks/silver_leaves"
  }
}

Any reason you aren't extending LeavesBlock?

Any reason you aren't telling the game your block is transparent?

Any reason you are using BlockItemBase? (A base block item already exists, its called BlockItem).

Extending LeavesBlock in which file?
How would I tell the game that.
And in answer to the latter, I'm new to modding so I didn't know that.

Vanilla has leaves, right? Go find them.

Use the search. "transparent block" should get you five or six results

You're following someone else's shitty YouTube tutorial. You're doing things because they did things without stopping to think "why did they create that class?" and whether or not that class served a valid purpose. Using inheritance to avoid code reuse is not a valid purpose.

We've had this issue listed in the common problems post for about a year.

I mean if you're done monologuing... I wasn't exactly asking to stamp on your first born, just for a little help. I'll look into what you've suggested, thanks for the help?

Teach a man how to fish, etc etc.

I wouldn't call that monologuing. Draco18s is teaching you the correct/most effective way in solving similar problems (by searching in vanilla code and on the forums).

Update: I managed to fix the issue by looking into the things you suggested. While it may have taken a few hours, as you said, it will greatly help me in the long run
