Hello!

 

I'm trying to render an image above my entity just as the label that displays the player's name. I've searched through the entity's render class, but I did not find anything related.

When searched for this, I found a few examples but they most likely outdated, as they are from 2013.

Can anyone help me out?

I think the closest thing to what you want to achieve is to search how particles are rendered, since they are just a textures that gets draw on the screen in a certain location in most cases. Or you can always create an entity that has the texture of your image and spawn that entity when you want to see the image, but I don't think this will be the optimal approach (but it will sure get the job done quickly)

Take a look at the  EntityRenderer#renderName method...to draw an image instead of text you could just use a textured quad

Thanks for the help!

However I still have problems with the image render part of the solution.

Anywhere to go?

Yes, I managed to make my quad, I only need the image to be rendered, that's where I got stuck.

Use Minecraft#getTextureManager()#bindTexture(Your texture resource location)

I actually tried this. I don't think it's how it's should be done as the texture does not render.

What am I doing wrong?

bufferbuilder.begin(7, DefaultVertexFormats.POSITION_COLOR);
bufferbuilder.pos(-i - 1, -15 + verticalShift - 10, 0.0D).color(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, f).endVertex();
bufferbuilder.pos(-i - 1, 8 + verticalShift - 10, 0.0D).color(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, f).endVertex();
bufferbuilder.pos(i + 1, 8 + verticalShift - 10, 0.0D).color(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, f).endVertex();
bufferbuilder.pos(i + 1, -15 + verticalShift - 10, 0.0D).color(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, f).endVertex();

this.mc.getTextureManager().bindTexture(location);
tessellator.draw();

You have to bind the texture before creating the vertices. Also if you want to apply a texture you need to give texture informations to your vertices. You can use DefaultVertexFormats.POSITION_TEX

      sorry for the txt, but thanks for the comment. I don't have a BiomeLoadingEvent, but I just have to see how I do that. When I have that I send you a message if that works.

      [1.16.5] Beacon Overwrite (Screen Error)

      By Beethoven92 · Posted 12 minutes ago

      I apologize...i misread the part where you say that your custom beacon inventory actually opens fine! Yeah, the proximity check is doing its job, the problem seems to be that when pressing the confirm button you are sending a vanilla CUpdateBeaconPacket, then handled by the server, which will check if your open container is a BeaconContainer. It would be helpful to see the complete code you have, please post a link to your repository
