Rotate block when placed

[jh62]

Hi.

 

I created a block with a tile entity and in the custom renderer i cannot make it rotate like say, a chest, that always faces the player in the right direction.

 

Is there a simple way to do this, as getBlockMetadata() returns always 0.

Do you have a render class with something like doRender()?

If so just use GL11.rotateF(0,1,0,angle);

theBest108's post is useless, as the OP isn't getting a metadata value by which to rotate by.

 

Anyway, take a look at BlockFurnace's onBlockPlaced method.
