1. Learn java, it will definitely make everything less confusing.
2. copy the block model that minecraft:air uses

i dont get what you mean copy the air model

 

[Vinyarion]

Mod blocks must have block models loaded from resource packs just like vanilla blocks. The vanilla air model is assets/minecraft/models/block/air.json, and the blockstates are assets/minecraft/blockstates/air.json

I believe that you can use RenderTypeLookup to set the block's render layer as transparent.

Do this. You will need it.

 

For now, you can use RenderTypeLookup.setRenderLayer(YourBlockClass.YourBlock.get(), RenderType.getTranslucent());

Use .get() if using deferred registries. You have to put this in your client setup event, I have my own topic on this.

A link to that is right here,

I managed to get it to work using my knowledge of voxel shape so thanks foonicular
