Ok. But then how come some mods can create big machines that are 2x2x2 or 3x3x3? Are they actually placing 3x3x3 = 27 blocks with connected texture? Because those machines really look, and act, like 1 block. I do not mind having to place 27 blocks as long as I can do it automatically. Any idea/lead on how I can do that?

Ok, so I am almost there. I can see the block boundaries with the thin lines. But the texture seems to be applied in the wrong position on the X & Z axis. The Y axis I am guessing is because of the model. But is I change the elements from/to to be 0 - 48 then MC complains that it is out of the boundaries. If I change the from/to back to -16 - 32 then it's not complaining, but it looks wrong. Also I can walk through the block. I thought the getRenderBoundingBox would prevent that. I guess I was wrong on how it works. This is what I see now when I place the block: This is my block model: { "credit": "Made with Blockbench", "texture_size": [48, 48], "textures": { "0": "testmod:blocks/rune_block", "particle": "testmod:blocks/rune_block" }, "elements": [ { "from": [-16, -16, -16], "to": [32, 32, 32], "faces": { "north": {"uv": [0, 0, 16, 16], "texture": "#0"}, "east": {"uv": [0, 0, 16, 16], "texture": "#0"}, "south": {"uv": [0, 0, 16, 16], "texture": "#0"}, "west": {"uv": [0, 0, 16, 16], "texture": "#0"}, "up": {"uv": [0, 0, 16, 16], "texture": "#0"}, "down": {"uv": [0, 0, 16, 16], "texture": "#0"} } } ], "display": { "thirdperson_righthand": { "scale": [0.1, 0.1, 0.1] }, "thirdperson_lefthand": { "scale": [0.1, 0.1, 0.1] }, "firstperson_righthand": { "scale": [0.1, 0.1, 0.1] }, "firstperson_lefthand": { "scale": [0.1, 0.1, 0.1] }, "ground": { "translation": [0, 1.25, 0], "scale": [0.2, 0.2, 0.2] }, "gui": { "rotation": [20, -30, 0], "scale": [0.2, 0.2, 0.2] }, "head": { "translation": [0, 9, 0], "scale": [0.3, 0.3, 0.3] }, "fixed": { "scale": [0.3, 0.3, 0.3] } } }

I defined my boundaries like this: @Override public AABB getRenderBoundingBox() { return new AABB( worldPosition.getX(), worldPosition.getY(), worldPosition.getZ(), worldPosition.getX() + 3, worldPosition.getY() + 3, worldPosition.getZ() + 3); }

Thanks. So I have been looking at a couple of 1.18 mods that implement multiblock blocks (ex: Waystones). And they are using net.minecraft.world.level.block.state.properties.DoubleBlockHalf to define half 'structures' with that enum. But that does not meet my need for a 3x3x3 since I am using more than DoubleBlockHalf. I would somehow need a 'TripleBlockThird' 🤨

What is AABB ? I saw it in some tutorials I read. But it was not explained what it was. So adapting it makes it difficult without understanding the underlying concept.

Hum, not according to CurseForge. Ok, so in this case, is it possible to use a BlockEntityRenderer to render a 3x3x3 ? I would be fine with that I would just need to find how to make a 3x3x3 model because BlockBench kinda limit the model to -16 - +32 And I need the full 48 above 0.

Then how do you explain things like the Digital Miner in Mekanism which is 3x3x2 ? It I have to treat the Block as something else to get the 3x3x3 I am ok with it. I tried to follow the logic/code of the Digital Miner but it is still in 1.16. So much has changed in MC/Forge since then that I am struggling to find replacement functions. Or, if making a 3x3x3 (in any ways) is really impossible, is it possible then to place the 27 blocks (3x3x3 = 27) automatically when I use the block item on a location?

Hi, For my mod I would like to be able to create a 3x3x3 block. But I cannot find anywhere how to do this. Even the bed and the door are 2x1x1 at most. I tried with a BlockBench model, but positive coordinates only support 3x3x2. If I want to do the full 3x3x3, then I have to use negative coordinates in BlockBench. Which I think would make the model appearing partly under the floor. Is it something possible, and if so, can someone show me a tutorial on how to do it? It is a simple block, not a machine nor container. Nothing fancy. But I have been struggling for the past few days trying to figure out how to do it.
