Transparent blocks appearing opaque (1.16.5)

Recommended Posts

So I made an extension off the default minecraft glass block and it doesnt become transparent. Im updating my mod from 1.12.2 to 1.16.5 so I'm not too sure how I can do the transparencys I have. One block I have it where the textures dont connect, and another block I have it like ice

Heres the code (1.16) that doesnt make my glass block transparent. I'm tackling the easier issue first; the glass with connecting textures

	public static final RegistryObject<Block> BERYLGLASS = BLOCKS.register("beryl_glass", () -> new ModGlassBlock(AbstractBlock.Properties.of(Material.LEAVES).strength(0.3F).sound(SoundType.GLASS).noOcclusion().harvestTool(ToolType.PICKAXE).harvestLevel(1)));

And the glass block glass

public class ModGlassBlock extends GlassBlock{

	   public ModGlassBlock(AbstractBlock.Properties p_i48392_1_) {
		      super(p_i48392_1_);
	   }
}

The transparent textures appear solid. If someone could help that'd be great!

I'm not sure what you mean by connecting the texture, but try to add notSolid to the block properties
and add a RenderTypeLookup to the block

Still nothing

public class ModGlassBlock extends GlassBlock{

	   public ModGlassBlock(AbstractBlock.Properties p_i48392_1_) {
		      super(p_i48392_1_);
	   }
	   public boolean isOpaqueCube() {
		   return false;
	   }
	   public boolean notSolid() {
		   return true;
	   }
}

You will want to put this line in during the client setup event: 

RenderTypeLookup.setRenderLayer(BERYLGLASS, RenderType.getCutout());

EDIT: Actually you'll probably want to use getTranslucent instead:

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

That will cause a translucent effect similar to ice. The one I mentioned previously is just for non-translucents like glass.

public class ModGlassBlock extends GlassBlock{

	   public ModGlassBlock(AbstractBlock.Properties p_i48392_1_) {
		      super(p_i48392_1_);
	   }
	   public boolean isOpaqueCube() {
		   return false;
	   }
	   public boolean notSolid() {
		   return true;
	   }
}

this will not work because Block or GlassBlock does not contain any of these methods

and I said add this (notSolid) to the block properties so to the following

public static final RegistryObject<Block> BERYLGLASS = BLOCKS.register("beryl_glass", 
       () ->newModGlassBlock(AbstractBlock.Properties.of(Material.LEAVES).strength(0.3F).sound(SoundType.GLASS)
                             .noOcclusion().harvestTool(ToolType.PICKAXE).harvestLevel(1)));

 

Edit: if I see that correctly you are using the latest Forge version (the one with the Mojang mappings),
which means notSolid is now called noOcclusion (I'm not 100% sure -> it could also be called differently)

Yes thank you it works now! I had noOcclusion before, but it didnt do anything. It was that I had to register the client side render.

I think forge has one of their things broken though, .cutout() doesnt work nor does .cutoutMipped, but  .translucent() does

 

Heres my code to see if I just did something wrong

	private void setup(final FMLCommonSetupEvent event) {
		RenderTypeLookup.setRenderLayer(BlockInit.BERYLGLASS.get(), RenderType.cutout());
		RenderTypeLookup.setRenderLayer(BlockInit.BERYLBLOCK.get(), RenderType.cutoutMipped());
		RenderTypeLookup.setRenderLayer(BlockInit.TREATEDCARBIDEBLOCK.get(), RenderType.translucent());
	}

and when I do this only the treated carbide block will appear translucent. When i have them all translucent and I place them beside eachother they look pretty weird, so if theres a fix for this that'd be great.

use the FMLClientSetupEvent and not the FMLCommonSetupEvent

set all RenderLayer to translucent (not cutout or cutoutMipped)

You seem to have skipped over the entire part where I listed that it was RenderType.getCutout(). Not cutout or cutoutMipped. Also like Luis_ST mentioned and I mentioned earlier, use the client setup event. Also there's no easy fix to them looking weird next to each other using the translucent render type. An example would be great though.

Hello, I'm having a similar problem to the one described in this thread, but none of the advice here is helping me. I'm using the most recent version of Forge for 1.16.5. I've scanned dozens of old threads looking for answers, but the current version of Forge is apparently very different, and the old solutions I've come across are no longer applicable.

 I have a block which I have given the translucent RenderType in the same way as the original post:

private void clientSetup(final FMLClientSetupEvent event) {
        RenderTypeLookup.setRenderLayer(BlockList.CRYSTAL.get(), RenderType.translucent());
}

The above code does give the desired effect of making the block translucent, but it comes with undesirable side-effects that I am unable to resolve, which I will try to explain.

 

In my BlockList class, I initialize my block with this line of code:

public static final RegistryObject<Block> CRYSTAL = BLOCKS.register("crystal", () -> new Crystal(Block.Properties
		.of(Material.ICE)));

which produces the in-game result:

The block allows light through, but it culls the faces of adjacent opaque blocks, which I do not want it to.

 

Modifying the previous code to add the noOcclusion() property:

public static final RegistryObject<Block> CRYSTAL = BLOCKS.register("crystal", () -> new Crystal(Block.Properties
		.of(Material.ICE)
		.noOcclusion()));

results in a different undesired outcome:

The block is still translucent, but it renders faces between like blocks. It does not, however, suffer from the same culling issue as without the property.

 

Does anyone know how I might resolve this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

    • They were already updated, and just to double check I even did a cleanup and fresh update from that same page. I'm quite sure drivers are not the problem here. 
    • i tried downloading the drivers but it says no AMD graphics hardware has been detected    
    • Update your AMD/ATI drivers - get the drivers from their website - do not update via system  
    • As the title says i keep on crashing on forge 1.20.1 even without any mods downloaded, i have the latest drivers (nvidia) and vanilla minecraft works perfectly fine for me logs: https://pastebin.com/5UR01yG9
    • Hello everyone, I'm making this post to seek help for my modded block, It's a special block called FrozenBlock supposed to take the place of an old block, then after a set amount of ticks, it's supposed to revert its Block State, Entity, data... to the old block like this :  The problem I have is that the system breaks when handling multi blocks (I tried some fix but none of them worked) :  The bug I have identified is that the function "setOldBlockFields" in the item's "setFrozenBlock" function gets called once for the 1st block of multiblock getting frozen (as it should), but gets called a second time BEFORE creating the first FrozenBlock with the data of the 1st block, hence giving the same data to the two FrozenBlock :   Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=head] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@73681674 BlockEntityData : id:"minecraft:bed",x:3,y:-60,z:-6} Old Block Fields set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=3, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} Frozen Block Entity set BlockState : Block{minecraft:black_bed}[facing=east,occupied=false,part=foot] BlockPos{x=2, y=-60, z=-6} BlockEntity : net.minecraft.world.level.block.entity.BedBlockEntity@6d1aa3da BlockEntityData : {id:"minecraft:bed",x:2,y:-60,z:-6} here is the code inside my custom "freeze" item :    @Override     public @NotNull InteractionResult useOn(@NotNull UseOnContext pContext) {         if (!pContext.getLevel().isClientSide() && pContext.getHand() == InteractionHand.MAIN_HAND) {             BlockPos blockPos = pContext.getClickedPos();             BlockPos secondBlockPos = getMultiblockPos(blockPos, pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos));             if (secondBlockPos != null) {                 createFrozenBlock(pContext, secondBlockPos);             }             createFrozenBlock(pContext, blockPos);             return InteractionResult.SUCCESS;         }         return super.useOn(pContext);     }     public static void createFrozenBlock(UseOnContext pContext, BlockPos blockPos) {         BlockState oldState = pContext.getLevel().getBlockState(blockPos);         BlockEntity oldBlockEntity = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? pContext.getLevel().getBlockEntity(blockPos) : null;         CompoundTag oldBlockEntityData = oldState.hasBlockEntity() ? oldBlockEntity.serializeNBT() : null;         if (oldBlockEntity != null) {             pContext.getLevel().removeBlockEntity(blockPos);         }         BlockState FrozenBlock = setFrozenBlock(oldState, oldBlockEntity, oldBlockEntityData);         pContext.getLevel().setBlockAndUpdate(blockPos, FrozenBlock);     }     public static BlockState setFrozenBlock(BlockState blockState, @Nullable BlockEntity blockEntity, @Nullable CompoundTag blockEntityData) {         BlockState FrozenBlock = BlockRegister.FROZEN_BLOCK.get().defaultBlockState();         ((FrozenBlock) FrozenBlock.getBlock()).setOldBlockFields(blockState, blockEntity, blockEntityData);         return FrozenBlock;     }
