Request for how to have a Block Render an Item in the world.

[TeuFox]

Example's: Minecraft Item Frames, Item pipes from build craft, Tinkers Construct Crafting Station, and Iron chests Crystal Chest, are some examples.

I would like to use this feature in a bunch of different ways and contemplating once figuring it out making a few procedures and plugins to help others.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and helping me learn. TeuFox

Well, since you mentioned the vanilla Item Frame, have you tried looking into its code to see what it does? You need a TileEntityRenderer to do things like: rendering an item on a block (think about a pedestal that renders an item on its top), rendering a custom model (think about the enchanting table animated book that spins around) etc..and basically rendering every other fancy effect you can think of. You may find this example very useful: https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/MinecraftByExample/tree/working-1-16-4/src/main/java/minecraftbyexample/mbe21_tileentityrenderer
