prevent faces from culling


DragonFerocity

Recommended Posts

I have a model, and I don't want any of the faces of the surrounding blocks to be culled as the model isn't very big, thus its sides don't extend to touch the surrounding blocks. I found this thread on another forum where someone asked the same thing, and the response was that it's not possible, and that you should just copy from a block that doesn't cull the faces.

 

This has me confused however. When you look at net.minecraft.block.BlockTorch, it extends Block but we all know that when a torch is placed it doesn't cull the faces. However, when we look at stairs, it also extends block but it does cull the faces. What?!?

 

There has to be some code difference between the two but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Looking at the JSON model files, I can't see anything that would cause faces of other blocks to be culled or not culled. My question is How Do I Do This? There has to be something somewhere. You can't just tell me that a torch magically doesn't cull the faces. There should be a way to turn this off in the code!

 

Any help is appreciated.

That thread is about making a custom resource pack for vanilla, which doesn't let you change the culling properties of the block.

 

When you're creating your own Block with Forge, you can either override Block#isOpaqueCube to return false to allow all adjacent block faces to be rendered; or you can override Block#doesSideBlockRendering to control this for each face of the block.

 

Several other things depend on Block#isOpaqueCube, so it's probably best to override it even if you override Block#doesSideBlockRendering as well.

isOpaqueCube is deprecated as of 1.11.2 and doesSideBlockRendering doesn't exist in the Block.java file anymore.

 

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

It does. It starts on line 1228 in my workspace.

Choonster, here's my line 1228 from Block.java:

registerBlock(75, "unlit_redstone_torch", (new BlockRedstoneTorch(false)).setHardness(0.0F).setSoundType(SoundType.WOOD).setUnlocalizedName("notGate"));

 

Also, so I'm trying to create an alternate version of stairs for a mod, and BlockStairs already overrides isOpaqueCube to return false always, and I wrote a custom java file that extends BlockStairs... BlockTorch also overrides isOpaqueCube to return false always. 

 

Needless to say, overriding isOpaqueCube in my class didn't change anything the faces of the other blocks still cull that my custom stairs are attached too.

Are you definitely using Forge? That's on line 2462 in my workspace.

 

Which Forge version are you using?

Are you definitely registering an instance of this class? Post your code.

I'm using forge version 13.20.0.2260. And the line I mentioned that is 1228 is from a minecraft file not a forge file.

Forge patches Minecraft files, which you should see in said files.

I guess I don't have the files patched correctly then.

How did you install your development environment?

    • 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;     }
