Rock Crystal Texture

[MongoTheElder]

Like the Aquamarine block, the Rock Crystal block is invisible

Seems to be the same issue as #624.

I've found a workaround for this. Ideally though we can pass this along to get fixed. I'm not sure who is at fault here.

What the heck is going on with these blocks?! Is it only Content Tweaker? Does it have to do with a resource folder issue?

[justinrusso]

No one knows.

I've found the issue; looking into a better fix than copying over Vanilla assets. Then I'll speak about the mod to blame :P

[artdude543]

Okay, so the mod which was causing the issue is Better with Mods not completely the mods fault, however. As it's creating a custom CTM for his own things (from what I can see in the code) and the change does not specify the default minecraft:blocks/stone texture in the textures array only his own textures.

From then what I can gather when the models/textures are being baked; the CTM is changing the model which in turn when CT is trying to use the stone model references it's loading the model fine but the variant is broken as it's not set to the one BWM had set up. This could be a bug on CTM's side but I don't think so but technically this should be breaking the stone texture itself also but it's not 🤔

But regardless the fix for now (which is better than copying Vanilla assets) is to overwrite the mcmeta file BWM is creating and putting it in the resources folder which will remove the CTM variant BWM is trying to make. It's a break in his texture but it's a small cost to fix the issue.

Fix/File Details

Location

resources\minecraft\textures\blocks\stone.png.mcmeta

Contents

{}

This will fix the issue and the stone texture appears again for CT custom stone variants.

Alternative Contents

This adds the default stone into the array of supported textures for BMW CTM type which fixes the issue and I guess still allow the mods thing to work but I never saw it in the game tbh so no idea how it's supposed to show.

{
   "ctm": {
     "ctm_version": 1,
     "type": "bwm_strata",
     "layer": "SOLID",
     "textures": [
    "minecraft:blocks/stone", // Add the default stone as the first texture.
        "minecraft:blocks/stone_1",
        "minecraft:blocks/stone_2"
     ]
   }
}

Working Example

So yeah this was a fun issue to track down and look into fixing. But we have two fixes or we could talk to the developers of CTM or BWM to find out what is truly breaking the base stone model; for references usage. As this only seems to affect anything, not Minecraft trying to use the model/texture for their own needs. It even could be CT doing something odd but I doubt that.

I have made a commit to BWM that will make sure that our HCStrata CTM support is no longer available when the feature is disabled. That should at least fix this issue for SevTech and other packs that do not have HCStrata.

[artdude543]

That won't fix the issue completely cos of the stone.mcmeta file in the mod itself which needs to be removed/changed.

[primetoxinz]

the mcmeta file should not load as the "type": "bwm_strata" is not registered to the CTM TextureTypeRegistry

[artdude543]

Have you got a build for me to test in my debug pack?

[artdude543]

Thanks; I still think there is more to this. As the CTM should not break the baked model at all. As other mods which re-use the stone don't seem to be affected to the extent of CT. When I get more time I'll try to debug it further.

[primetoxinz]

Yeah, just thought it would be best to at least have a bandaid so people aren't seeing through the world

[artdude543]

Okay so yeah @Darkosto the latest build also fixes the issue, so either or works from the stuff above or the new patch.

I'll re-look at the issue when I get time unless someone else tracks it down.

Hey @MongoTheElder when you're able, can you check this on Beta 3 to make sure it's good in the modpack? :D
