boolean	registerMaterial(net.minecraft.util.Identifier id, RenderMaterial material) Register a material for re-use by other mods or models within a mod.

Method Detail

meshBuilder

MeshBuilder meshBuilder()

Obtain a new MeshBuilder instance used to create baked models with enhanced features.

Renderer does not retain a reference to returned instances and they should be re-used for multiple models when possible to avoid memory allocation overhead.

materialFinder

MaterialFinder materialFinder()

Obtain a new MaterialFinder instance used to retrieve standard RenderMaterial instances.

Renderer does not retain a reference to returned instances and they should be re-used for multiple materials when possible to avoid memory allocation overhead.

materialById

@Nullable
@Nullable RenderMaterial materialById(net.minecraft.util.Identifier id)

Return a material previously registered via registerMaterial(Identifier, RenderMaterial). Will return null if no material was found matching the given identifier.

registerMaterial

boolean registerMaterial(net.minecraft.util.Identifier id,
                         RenderMaterial material)

Register a material for re-use by other mods or models within a mod. The registry does not persist registrations - mods must create and register all materials at game initialization.

Returns false if a material with the given identifier is already present, leaving the existing material intact.
