[Solved][1.9.4] Placed block is invisible

[mmdanggg2]

I am trying to update my mod into 1.9 and have sorted through all the errors and now, after getting in game, one of my blocks is not rendering at all.

 

 

As you can see the block, when placed, is not there. However the item for the block is displaying as intended.

 

blockstates/miningRig.json:

{
    "variants": {
        "facing=north": { "model": "doge:miningRig" },
        "facing=south": { "model": "doge:miningRig", "y": 180 },
        "facing=west":  { "model": "doge:miningRig", "y": 270 },
        "facing=east":  { "model": "doge:miningRig", "y": 90 }
    }
}

 

models/block/miningRig.json:

{
    "parent": "block/cube",
    "textures": {
        "particle": "doge:blocks/miningRigFrontOff",
        "up": "doge:blocks/miningRigTopBackOff",
        "down": "doge:blocks/miningRigBottom",
        "south": "doge:blocks/miningRigTopBackOff",
        "north": "doge:blocks/miningRigFrontOff",
        "east": "doge:blocks/miningRigSideOff",
        "west": "doge:blocks/miningRigSideOff"
    }
}

 

models/items/miningRig.json:

{
    "parent": "doge:block/miningRig"
}

 

models registered with:

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(Item.getItemFromBlock(Doge.miningRig), 0, new ModelResourceLocation(Doge.miningRig.getRegistryName(), "inventory"));

 

The other block I have is working fine although it has no block states and simply uses block/cube_all model

BlockContainer

overrides

Block#getRenderType

to return

EnumBlockRenderType.INVISIBLE

, which prevents the standard baked model from being rendered (so the model can be rendered by a

TESR

).

 

You could override

Block#getRenderType

to return

EnumBlockRenderType.MODEL

(like various vanilla blocks with

TileEntities

do), but the best way around this is to not extend

BlockContainer

at all. Instead, override

Block#hasTileEntity(IBlockState)

and

Block#createTileEntity

.

 

MiningRig

has a

getRenderType

method returning 3, but this no longer overrides

Block#getRenderType

in 1.9+. Always annotate override methods with

@Override

. If this gives you a compilation error, fix the method signature rather than removing the annotation.

Wonderful, that was it. Thanks for the info! ?
