[1.16.1] How to animate blocks?

[Anrza]

Hey!

I'm new to modding with Forge. I'm trying to animate a block and I'm following the documentation but I can't seem to find the class AnimationTESR. I assume this is because it has been removed in 1.16 and replaced with something else. Can anyone point me toward it or some update notes?

Just use a standard TileEntityRenderer.

Using a normal TER is a bit clumsy for my purposes. I've found TileEntityRendererAnimation that is supposed to work with the Forge model system and animations. It seems to depend on the block's IModelData having the Properties.AnimationProperty

 

        IBakedModel model = blockRenderer.getBlockModelShapes().getModel(state);
        IModelData data = model.getModelData(world, pos, state, ModelDataManager.getModelData(te.getWorld(), pos));
        if (data.hasProperty(Properties.AnimationProperty))
          //do animations

but I haven't been able to find a way to add the AnimationProperty.

 

I found an old post describing how to do it a few updates back, but some of the method it depends on no longer exist.
