How to make a custom block like tinted glass? | latcord | Page 1

I am trying to make an unbreakable block that behaves like tinted glass (i.e. it can be seen through but does not allow light through) but I cannot figure out the right combination of transparency and render type settings to make it look the same as vanilla tinted glass. Anyone have any ideas?

e.create('fancy_glass').defaultTranslucent()

#

This is mostly correct, but the block still lets light through. To clarify, I want it to act like the new tinted glass introduced in 1.17, not the coloured stained glass.

if you wanted to use that class exactly you'd use event.custom(id, object) in the registry event

mellow pumice Mar 7, 2023, 3:07 PM

#

wait wha hmmm

#

public CustomBuilderObject(ResourceLocation i, T object, RegistryObjectBuilderTypes<T> registry) dis?

#

public CustomBuilderObject(ResourceLocation i, T object, RegistryObjectBuilderTypes<T> registry)

#

maybe this

#

public BuilderBase.CustomBuilderObject<T> custom(String id, T object)

#

ye

#

that crashed heh

#

oh fuck me

This is far more complicated than I thought it would be

mellow pumice Mar 7, 2023, 3:12 PM

const $TintedGlassBlock = Java.loadClass('net.minecraft.world.level.block.TintedGlassBlock')
const $Blocks = Java.loadClass('net.minecraft.world.level.block.Blocks')

StartupEvents.registry('block', event => {

  event.custom('new_glass', customGlass)

something like that (untested)

there was an example somewhere from chief about using custom block classes when it was added as a feature to kjs6

mellow pumice Mar 7, 2023, 3:17 PM

#

they should be added to #1048591172165189632 and the ~~stupid~~ simple examples being yeeted cuz it just spams it

this is what i have, but its still not blocking light hmmm

fathom hazel Mar 7, 2023, 3:33 PM

you'd think that would work....

mellow pumice Mar 7, 2023, 3:34 PM

#

also do i just append stuff to that custom like it was a normal builder thonk

#

cuz i dun wanna make model jsons and shit, id rather just append the json lol

#

oh

#

hol up

fathom hazel Mar 7, 2023, 3:36 PM

#

don't think so

fathom hazel Mar 7, 2023, 3:36 PM

nice

mellow pumice Mar 7, 2023, 3:36 PM

#

this was odd

#

when building the box, it didnt update the air blocks inside

#

i had to fill the inside and then destroy it

#

wtf thonk

mellow pumice Mar 7, 2023, 3:39 PM

#

fathom hazel don't think so

i still seem to have some methods o.o

getClass, clientRegistry, wait, transformObject, translationKey, displayName, newID, notifyAll, createAdditionalObjects, notify, registryType, hashCode, get, tag, id, generateDataJsons, class, translationKeyGroup, generateAssetJsons, getTranslationKeyGroup, generateLang, createObject, addResourcePackLocations, getRegistryType, equals, toString

#

generateDataJsons thonk

#

nevermind

#

making progress but still not done

#

got this far, but the texture is not transparent xD

#

woeful elk Mar 7, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

I've just written my own model json files, but I think I've got it working

#

I just included "render_type": "translucent" in the model file

mellow pumice Mar 7, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

o.o

#

leme try

woeful elk Mar 7, 2023, 4:15 PM

I think this was added in 1.19

#

putting it in #1048591172165189632 now

woeful elk Mar 7, 2023, 4:19 PM

#

I've noticed something odd though. I'm using the vanilla tinted glass texture for the new block, but it appears to be lighter than the vanilla block

#

The new block is on the left and the vanilla tinted glass is on the right

mellow pumice Mar 7, 2023, 4:26 PM

#

hmmm

#

i think i know

#

sec

woeful elk Mar 7, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

Also my item model doesn't render transparent blocks behind it

#

But these are just minor issues

mellow pumice Mar 7, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

what did you do for item model?

#

in the json

#

check the post i made, see if yours is similar

It seems to be a problem with the shaders I was using

when in doubt, blame optifine/iris/oculus 😉

woeful elk Mar 7, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

It's odd that it works with vanilla tinted glass but not this new block

#

Anyway, it looks like the new block works how I wanted. Thanks so much for the help!
