transparent texture

okay so, i'm making this mob called "Lost Soul", i used two modle layers, one which is a simple player model with a light blue skin (which is the part i need to be transparent) and a second which is a small cube as the core (which should glow but doesn't have to be transparent)

i tried a few things: 

  • checking the transparent box on mcreator, which gives this result https://imgur.com/j6v5X12 and the core isn't visible through the model
  • not checking the box but drawing the texture to have 30% opacity: https://imgur.com/3tSbGoU that apparently was just ignored

    i also noticed that the transparent model somewhy doesn't make ice visible https://imgur.com/KNvl9iu

    this is how the mob should look like (i put the two model layers together in blockbench but in mcreator they're two separate models): https://imgur.com/4F2aJYF 

    anyone has any idea what should i do if it's even possible?

    otherwise i'd just make the mob with just the core but i really want to save that option if there's no other way

looks like you can do this with layers,

Set the inner part of the entity as the main entity model, don't check is entity model transparent

and then add the outer, transparent, model as a model layer

 

I have no idea if this will have some unexpected side effect but it at least renders correctly
