So, after two years of trial-and-error, I have finally found a way to make mods for Minecraft Forge 1.6.4. Here is the first "1.6.4 revival" mod I am trying:
Color Glass Ported is a mod that backports the stained glass block to Minecraft 1.6.4. The block that this mod adds is mostly like the 1.7+ "minecraft:stained_glass" block- it's translucent both in-world and in-inventory, and can be used for building anything.
This kind of in-world translucency is achieved via what Minecraft 1.6.4 already does for ice or Nether portal: setting the render block pass to 1 and using a translucent texture. As for how the block is rendered translucent even in inventory, it is achieved via ISBRH (ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler).
