Hello,

is there any easy way to render a Text above a Block like the Text above the Player?

I'am trying to display some information above a Block when a Player clicks it with a special Item but only showing it in the chat seems a little bit boring  ;D

 

I'm looking forward to your Help

either get it from someone who already done this, copy over what vanilla minecraft is using or make a fontRenderer yourself from scratch.

 

i suggest you do not make 1 from scratch becuase its a pain to implements. though if you want i can share mine.

 

you will also need a TileEntitySpecialRenderer

Thank you that would be really nice. I also found the one minecraft has but as it is a Protected inside RenderLiving i couldn't find a way to use it.

basicly this, make sure you have the file "sf.png"  at the root of miencraft.jar (if you're in eclipse its the root of "moddirectory/jars/bin/minecraft.jar"  )

and to make a draw call (most likely from a TileEntitySpecialRenderer)

 

FontRendererFR.instance.drawString(message, startX, startY, heightOfTheLetter, isItFor3DOr2D, red, green, blue);

 

 

 

the image is here

is looks all white, but thats becasue the site doesnt accept alpha, if you zoom in enough youll see that theres is actually an alphabet there, and if you save the image itll be transparent

      Game freezes then crashes upon entering server after i used a far-away waystone. (BMC4)

      By Cledd · Posted

      log: https://mclo.gs/QJg3wYX as stated in the title, my game freezes upon loading into the server after i used a far-away waystone in it. The modpack i'm using is better minecraft V18. Issue only comes up in this specific server, singleplayer and other servers are A-okay. i've already experimented with removing possible culprits like modernfix and various others to no effect. i've also attempted a full reinstall of the modpack profile. Issue occurs shortly after the 'cancel' button dissapears on the 'loading world' section of the loading screen.   thanks in advance.

      Model and textures rendered on entity and RenderLevelStageEvent not visible when using shaders

      By Blatopebas · Posted

      Hi, this is my second post with the same content as no one answered this and it's been a long time since I made the last post, I want to make a client-only mod, everything is ok, but when I use shaders, none of the textures rendered in RenderLevelStageEvent nor the crow entity model are rendered, I want them to be visible, because it's a horror themed mod I've already tried it with different shaders, but it didn't work with any of them and I really want to add support for shaders Here is how i render the crow model in the CrowEntityRenderer<CrowEntity>, by the time i use this method, i know is not the right method but i don't think this is the cause of the problem, the renderType i'm using is entityCutout @Override public void render(CrowEntity p_entity, float entityYaw, float partialTick, PoseStack poseStack, MultiBufferSource bufferSource, int packedLight) { super.render(p_entity, entityYaw, partialTick, poseStack, bufferSource, packedLight); ClientEventHandler.getClient().crow.renderToBuffer(poseStack, bufferSource.getBuffer(ClientEventHandler.getClient().crow .renderType(TEXTURE)), packedLight, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, Utils.rgb(255, 255, 255)); } Here renderLevelStage @Override public void renderWorld(RenderLevelStageEvent e) { horrorEvents.draw(e); } Here is how i render every event public void draw(RenderLevelStageEvent e) { for (HorrorEvent event : currentHorrorEvents) { event.tick(e.getPartialTick()); event.draw(e); } } Here is how i render the crow model on the event @Override public void draw(RenderLevelStageEvent e) { if(e.getStage() == RenderLevelStageEvent.Stage.AFTER_ENTITIES) { float arcProgress = getArcProgress(0.25f); int alpha = (int) Mth.lerp(arcProgress, 0, 255); int packedLight = LevelRenderer.getLightColor(Minecraft.getInstance().level, blockPos); VertexConsumer builder = ClientEventHandler.bufferSource.getBuffer(crow); Crow<CreepyBirdHorrorEvent> model = ClientEventHandler .getClient().crow; model.setupAnim(this); RenderHelper.renderModelInWorld(model, position, offset, e.getCamera(), e.getPoseStack(), builder, packedLight, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, alpha); builder = ClientEventHandler.bufferSource.getBuffer(eyes); RenderHelper.renderModelInWorld(model, position, offset, e.getCamera(), e.getPoseStack(), builder, 15728880, OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, alpha); } } How i render the model public static void renderModelInWorld(Model model, Vector3f pos, Vector3f offset, Camera camera, PoseStack matrix, VertexConsumer builder, int light, int overlay, int alpha) { matrix.pushPose(); Vec3 cameraPos = camera.getPosition(); double finalX = pos.x - cameraPos.x + offset.x; double finalY = pos.y - cameraPos.y + offset.y; double finalZ = pos.z - cameraPos.z + offset.z; matrix.pushPose(); matrix.translate(finalX, finalY, finalZ); matrix.mulPose(Axis.XP.rotationDegrees(180f)); model.renderToBuffer(matrix, builder, light, overlay, Utils .rgba(255, 255, 255, alpha)); matrix.popPose(); matrix.popPose(); } Thanks in advance
