Some things to note:
Netty is screwy so currently can't join single player. @cpw
Crafting has been MAJORY reworked. The current GameRegistry functions are nooped, this is IN THE WORKS.
Just need to move the recipe list to a full class registry, and then re implement the in-code recipe registration.
Also, it IS advised that modders move to JSON, because ideally we'll see a S->C recipe syncing system in 1.13
which would allow servers to have custom recipes.
OreDictionary currently 1/2 works, need to write a better algorithm for replacing ingredients.
Please be patient
Rendering:
A lot of functions got a new float parameter, this is similar to partial ticks, needs more research
Entry point: ModelLoaderRegistry
loader interface: ICustomModelLoader
custom model: IModel
ModelLoader is responsible for splicing into vanilla model system.
(you probably don't need to use it directly)
Interop with vanilla models isn't great yet
(vanilla models can't refer to custom ones as parents), will improve in
the future.
Includes loader for B3D models, with animation support
(net.minecraftforge.client.model.b3d).
Blender export plugin with compatible coordinate system:
https://github.com/RainWarrior/B3DExport
OBJ loader is being written, will be included at some point in the
future. For now you can convert OBJ to B3D via blender, or wait.
