 ===== Making a block transparent =====
 You may have noticed that even if your block's texture is transparent, it still looks opaque.
-To fix this, override ''getRenderLayer'' and return ''BlockRenderLayer.TRANSLUCENT'':
+To fix this, you need to set your block's render layer to cutout or transparent.
+In a client-sided mod initializer, add:
 <code java>
-class MyBlock extends Block {
+BlockRenderLayerMap.INSTANCE.putBlock(ExampleMod.MY_BLOCK, RenderLayer.getCutout());
-    @Override
+// Replace `RenderLayer.getCutout()` with `RenderLayer.getTranslucent()` if you have a translucent texture.
-    public BlockRenderLayer getRenderLayer() {
-        return BlockRenderLayer.TRANSLUCENT;
