====== Rendering Blocks and Items Dynamically ======

There are two main ways to render blocks and items dynamically, depending on what you want to do.

  * [[custom_model|Custom Models]] can be used to dynamically render the block when the chunk mesh is rebuilt. This means that the model will be re-generated only when the chunk is updated, or when you force it to update.
  * [[blockentityrenderers|Block Entity Renderers]] are called every frame to draw whatever you want, but the model will still be rendered. This can be used on top of the Custom Models for animation, e.g. a chest opening animation.
