Is there a way to edit a blocks texture in real-time?
Really need it for my CCLights mod.

Well, you can render almost everything if you know OpenGL. You will need to make your block having a tile entity (should be for peripheral anyways) and create a subclass of TileEntitySpecialRenderer. Inside, you can implement any custom OpenGL rendering algorithm. If you need, for instance, color changing, you can just use glcolor.

I would not recommend direct texture editing, as the texture would need to be reloaded every time, and that costs performance.

...Thanks...
I'll just stick with wool colors.

This is not really a peripheral question, and more of a general minecraft question. This forum should really only be used for peripheral API questions.

I agree with cloudy. This section is for questions specifically related to peripherals. Your question is more a generic minecraft modding question so would be better asked at minecraftforum.net's modding section.

Well, you were wrong about editing the texture directly . Look at CCLights now!

He didn't say it wouldn't work, he just said that it would cost performance. OpenGL would definitely be the wisest choice in the case of CCLights. Also, Xfel replied that almost 9 months ago O.o .
