[1.14.3] how to make a block like the cauldron

[Finiox]

Hello,

 

So I created a block where it's model is copied from the cauldron and I altered it in a program called "Blockbench" which was listed on the minecraft wiki but when I open it ingame the block registers it as a "full block" and removed things like transparency (it seems).

 

Blockbench render:

]

 

Minecraft render:

 

So the 2 main problems are that the glass is not transparent. Which is weird because I copied textures from a normal glass block in paint.NET and the top is transparent.

And the other one is have the block below it turns into an transparent block which is logical because it's face isn't drawn because it has a full block above but I want to prevent this.

 

So what approach do I need to make this "fish tank" into a block like the cauldron with the same hitboxes?

Thanks in advance!

 

 

Code:

public class FishTankBlock extends Block {

    public static final String ID = "fish_tank";

    public FishTankBlock(Properties properties) {
        super(properties);
    }

    public static Block newInstance() {
        return new FishTankBlock(
            Properties
                .create(Material.GLASS)
                .hardnessAndResistance(1.0f, 1.0f)
                .sound(SoundType.GLASS)
        )
        .setRegistryName(new ResourceLocation(XioCraftMod.ID, FishTankBlock.ID));
    }

    public static Item getItem() {
        return new BlockItem(
            BlockList.fish_tank,
            new Item.Properties()
                    .group(ItemGroup.DECORATIONS)
        )
        .setRegistryName(ID);
    }

@Draco18s thanks I also remodeled the block but your methods there are deprecated and I searched thru the `Block` class and can't find a way for entities to walk inside of the block like you can do with a cauldron.  I'm guessing its the `isFullCube` override but this is deprecated. So where would I find documentation for this to get the right methods and properties

Forge's Mojang's "deprecated" means that modders should not call the method.

Overriding it, however, is fine (as stated in the Javadoc of such methods).

Those aren't from Forge, they're from Mojang.

(But you're otherwise correct)

[Finiox]

@Draco18s @DavidM so I am walking across one more problem and that is that the `isFullCube` and `isOpaqueCube` are both not in the `Block` class anymore. I am developing for 1.14.3.

[desht]

isOpaqueCube() is definitely still in Block (although the method signature has changed).  Its default implementation should be fine for most cases.

 

isFullCube() is gone and no longer needed since Minecraft can determine that from your block's voxel shape.

[Drachenbauer]

Thry out:

    @Override
    public boolean isSolid(BlockState state)
    {
        return false;
    }

my custom shaped blocks have no transparent holes in the ground below them with it.

 

And in my block registry, my blocks have ".variableOpacity()" in their registry-lines. so maybe try around with it.
