Common Mistakes

If you get errors or bugs, try to check the following.

 

Dimension is not set up

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.

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.

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?

Yes but I want to use this vanilla mob and player. Mcreator does not allow adding layers to the player and vanilla mobs, right?

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.

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?
