An example for custom blocks using Display ENtities
Thsi is a demo from another user, here: https://github.com/dannegm/BlockEntities and their implimentation so go give them some love, i could not form it for some reason so i redid it in gradle and followed their structure :)
The master branch is for the latest version of minecraft.
Building BlockEntities is not as Straightforward as Iris, though you will need to setup a few things if your system has never been used for java development.
