Dependencies
- None
Here is the guide.
Useful Procedures
Color
Those procedures can get various colors. They can be used on all rendering events.
Data
Those procedures can get game/world data. They can be used on all rendering events.
Others
They are can be used all rendering events.
Render effects
Those procedures is used for rendering. They can be used on the following events only.
- Graphics - Render clouds
- Graphics - Render overlays
- Graphics - Render shapes
- Graphics - Render sky
- Graphics - Render weather
Here is the guide.
Common Mistakes
If you get errors or bugs, try to check the following.
Dimension is not set up
The event trigger "Graphics - Set up dimension" is required to work some event triggers.
Use wrong event triggers or procedures
In order to render objects, you will need to use event triggers and procedures properly. See the above.
Call procedures from non-rendering events
If this example were run, your Minecraft would be crashed. It is not possible to call procedures and run rendering.
Modify game/world data on rendering events
Game/world data modifying should not be run on rendering events. That also includes block/entity/item modifying, NBT setting, etc.
However, it is possible to get and use data of blocks, entities, items, NBT, global variables, etc.
Neat!
What is the best way to render items on a block? I know that the render model feature works with the player cordinates, but I am wondering if you have a procedure to render it on a block that is nearby the player
Save positions to global variables, and render items with the variables. If there are multiple positions, use other plugins like Array Lists.
may just dont know how to use array list plugin, but it crashes if i try to render item with
Try to check whether an event trigger "Graphics - Render models" is used.
Can I use custom textures to render mob models? I want to render an entity but with a different texture and it doesn't work.
If this is not possible at the moment, is there a chance that this will be added?
MCreator can add model layers.
Yes but I want to use this vanilla mob and player. Mcreator does not allow adding layers to the player and vanilla mobs, right?
World Renderer is not going to support modifying vanilla entity and player models. Other plugins should be used.
Is there a way to set fog at a certain time of day? I'm hoping to set fog from dusk until dawn if possible. Also is it possible to have a skybox render from dusk to night? I'm trying to get a cool sunset but having no luck. Awesome plugin tbh.
Star level can be used, but It needs calculation.
Are you saying star level can be used for the fog? Or just the dusk skybox?
Also, do you have a rough idea what that would be? I’ve followed your star, sun and moon tutorials but I’m not sure how to calculate the time scale.
Star Level is a value which is 0.0 during the day and 1.0 at night. It can also be used for RGBA values.
I see, so theoretically I should be able to put the color of the fog and then set the A to Get star level to have fog that only comes at night correct?
