[1.15.2] How to make a block transparent?

[Megaton_216_]

I've been trying to make a block transparent and I've added a few methods like getOpacity, isTransparent, and isVariableOpacity, but I don't understand what's wrong.

You have to set the correct render layer for your block with:

RenderTypeLookup.setRenderLayer(your_block, RenderType.getTranslucent());

Note that this has to be set in your client setup event

in place of your_block, I put LARGE_CRYSTAL. I'm getting an error "Cannot resolve method 'setRenderLayer(net.minecraftforge.fml.RegistryObject<net.minecraft.block.Block>, net.minecraft.client.renderer.RenderType)'". What is the problem here?

LARGE_CRYSTAL.get() to get the block from the registry object.
