Modifying block entity rendering based on the player | The Fabric Project | Page 1

#

I have this code which is intended to scale a block entities rendering to 0/0/0 (so make it disappear) if the player rendering it is crouching, the block just appears invisible always in the world, please help

#

Does it render without it?

#

It being the if sneaking check

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 1:53 AM

#

Uhhhh

#

Lemme check

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 1:54 AM

#

lilac thistle It being the if sneaking check

Like specifically the if?

#

Or the contents as well?

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 1:54 AM

#

nimble ivy Or the contents as well?

Just without the entire contents

#

Also one thing, idk but you never reset the value so outside the if set the scale to 1

#

Maybe

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 1:58 AM

#

lilac thistle Just without the entire contents

One sec sorry

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 1:59 AM

#

All good

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 1:59 AM

#

It was working a second ago without the contents

#

So I’m just bringing it back a sec

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 1:59 AM

#

Okay

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 1:59 AM

#

lilac thistle Also one thing, idk but you never reset the value so outside the if set the scal...

This is my best guess then

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:00 AM

lilac thistle Also one thing, idk but you never reset the value so outside the if set the scal...

I don’t follow sorry

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 2:00 AM

#

Can you send the text version of the code

#

Rq just so i can edit it

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:01 AM

#

yeah sure np

#

i reverted the changes to back when it was working and for some reason it isnt now

Let's see how this goes on a phone

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:03 AM

#

for some reason its rendering like this rn even tho i reset the code to what you see up there

nimble ivy for some reason its rendering like this rn even tho i reset the code to what you...

Just look at that if that I added and the else

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:09 AM

#

I see

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 2:09 AM

#

Sry bout the formatting, having to use my phone rn

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:10 AM

#

No worries, your help really means a lot even if your forgetting a couple semi colons lol

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 2:10 AM

#

Oop

#

Lmao

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:11 AM

#

Yeah I plugged it in, for some reason it’s still blank but since it was like that even when there was nothing in the render box I assume that means I did smth stupid elsewhere

#

I dunno why tho this was working fine an hour ago

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 2:11 AM

#

I honestly don't know of that is gonna work out not

#

Or*

#

I just might be sleep deprived lmao

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:12 AM

#

It’s alright lol

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 2:13 AM

#

What does the block do that requires an entity renderer

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

I was trying to make it disappear and reappear based on the player viewing it and the people here said I need a block entity and a block entity renderer for it, I’m very new so I’m just following orders

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

Ya that's what you need to do it

#

Can you show the model class?

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

Uhhhh

#

Hold on lemme try to figure out which one that is

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 2:16 AM

#

Lmao

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:16 AM

#

omg

#

I think I might have found the perma invis issue

#

Lemme test rq

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 2:17 AM

#

... Did you not tell it to render...

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:17 AM

#

I told it to render as invisible, unless a boolean that was set to false by default was true while I was experimenting earlier

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 2:18 AM

#

Oh

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:18 AM

#

OK, so it’s not invisible anymore

#

I’m sorry, I’m stupid

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 2:18 AM

#

Does it work?

#

All good same here all the time

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:18 AM

#

No, sadly doesn’t seem to

#

Let me try one more time just in case

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

Just look at me I put the name space of an old mod in one of my new mods by accident

#

And somehow moved where data gen outputs files

#

And made particles being registered stop data gen from working

#

So like... Ya I'm stupid to

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:20 AM

#

Oh lord

#

I mean I spent two hours trying to figure out why the block textures were purple and black

#

Only to realize I put them in the items folder

lilac thistle Jun 1, 2026, 2:21 AM

#

😭

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:21 AM

#

Hell I didn’t even realize

#

A friend of mine did

#

It doesn’t seem like the scaling works sadly

surreal nexus Jun 1, 2026, 2:22 AM

#

aw dang it

surreal nexus Jun 1, 2026, 2:23 AM

#

lilac thistle ```java package net.doomxd.boe.block.entity.renderer; import net.doomxd.boe.blo...

did you try this code

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:23 AM

#

I copy and pasted the whole thing over my file

surreal nexus Jun 1, 2026, 2:23 AM

#

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:23 AM

#

I can try one more time just to double check. I didn’t do something stupid

#

Again

surreal nexus Jun 1, 2026, 2:24 AM

#

i also love how you didnt notice i switched accounts

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:24 AM

#

You know I did realize the fault looked weird all of a sudden, but I thought I just missed it before

#

*faunt

#

*font

surreal nexus Jun 1, 2026, 2:24 AM

#

lol

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:26 AM

#

So for the record all I’m doing when I copy and paste it in to change it is adding some semi colons, retyping the first matrices because it gets an error and flipping the if player is null and is sneaking because it tells me that it’s already too late to check for null if its second

#

I assume none of that could be the problem?

surreal nexus Jun 1, 2026, 2:27 AM

#

i honestly have no idea just give me a few to get my brain to wake up again

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:28 AM

#

And just to be clear, I have basically no idea matracies actually does I just saw it in like four YouTube videos about item renders and on the documentation and I think it works how I’m using it here?

#

This is kind of just guess work tbh

surreal nexus Jun 1, 2026, 2:28 AM

#

i belive so, also do you happen to know what the large oak tree is called file wise

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:29 AM

#

?

surreal nexus Jun 1, 2026, 2:29 AM

#

like the big sprawling branch one?

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:30 AM

#

I don’t know sorry

surreal nexus Jun 1, 2026, 2:30 AM

#

sigh all good

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:30 AM

#

I started learning fabric last week. I’m sorry. :(

surreal nexus Jun 1, 2026, 2:31 AM

#

alll good just was checken bc ive been looking for like an hour

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:34 AM

#

So from what I can tell or at least guess

#

The commands are going through just it’s not targeted onto the actual block

#

I have absolutely no idea how to do that

#

I got to call it a night sadly, if you think of smth please lmk

surreal nexus Jun 1, 2026, 2:37 AM

#

okay i will gn

nimble ivy Jun 1, 2026, 2:37 AM

#

Gn
