Ok, I originally thought that just making a new fenceBlock would be perfect. I'm going off a tutorial where they did the extending of blocks to make a new one. The original mod just changed the blockstate json of Oak Fence to get it to work. And I thought how I did the Large Conduit would work the same. I did notice connectsTo() and getStateForPlacement() before, but when I tried to override them, nothing seem to work right. I'll have to look into block tags, I didn't realize how important they might be. And placing a gate next to the block makes it do what it's suppose to. Block works fine when a regular block is placed next to it, goes weird when another MediumYellowConduitDown does next to it. And I also noticed that sometimes, the opposite direction is flagged true when I place the block. So I'm guessing maybe just extend a regular block and do all the state settings in there?? Thanks for all the notes, will most likely be back with some more questions later

Hello, Newbie here. I having an issue trying to make a fenceBlock and for some reason the North, South, East and West properties don't set correctly when i'm placing the item, therefore, the correct variant is not being used. Here is a pick to illustrate what's happening. the 2 in the foreground should connect to each other like the one in the background, but NSEW are all false on the ones in the foreground. Here is a link to the files, and keep in mind, I'm fairly new to Java and Minecraft modding , it's the MediumYellowConduitDown https://github.com/oneilljp-keyin/TrekFiles/blob/0ae07709966d916227f7b152b28db24e7037ad7b/src/main/java/tech/johnoneill/trekfiles/init/BlockInit.java package tech.johnoneill.trekfiles.init; import java.util.function.Function; import com.google.common.base.Supplier; import net.minecraft.world.item.BlockItem; import net.minecraft.world.item.Item; import net.minecraft.world.level.block.Block; import net.minecraft.world.level.block.Blocks; import net.minecraft.world.level.block.FenceBlock; import net.minecraft.world.level.block.SoundType; import net.minecraft.world.level.block.state.BlockBehaviour; import net.minecraft.world.level.material.Material; import net.minecraftforge.registries.DeferredRegister; import net.minecraftforge.registries.ForgeRegistries; import net.minecraftforge.registries.RegistryObject; import tech.johnoneill.trekfiles.TrekFiles; import tech.johnoneill.trekfiles.block.*; public class BlockInit { public static final DeferredRegister<Block> BLOCKS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.BLOCKS, TrekFiles.MOD_ID); public static final DeferredRegister<Item> ITEMS = ItemInit.ITEMS; public static final RegistryObject<Block> LARGE_YELLOW_CONDUIT_UP = register("large_yellow_conduit_up", () -> new LargeYellowConduitUp(BlockBehaviour.Properties.of(Material.HEAVY_METAL).sound(SoundType.METAL)), object -> () -> new BlockItem(object.get(), new Item.Properties().tab(TrekFiles.TREKFILES_TAB))); public static final RegistryObject<Block> LARGE_YELLOW_CONDUIT_DOWN = register("large_yellow_conduit_down", () -> new LargeYellowConduitDown(BlockBehaviour.Properties.of(Material.HEAVY_METAL).sound(SoundType.METAL)), object -> () -> new BlockItem(object.get(), new Item.Properties().tab(TrekFiles.TREKFILES_TAB))); public static final RegistryObject<FenceBlock> MEDIUM_YELLOW_CONDUIT_UP = register("medium_yellow_conduit_up", () -> new FenceBlock(BlockBehaviour.Properties.of(Material.HEAVY_METAL).sound(SoundType.METAL)), object -> () -> new BlockItem(object.get(), new Item.Properties().tab(TrekFiles.TREKFILES_TAB))); public static final RegistryObject<Block> MEDIUM_YELLOW_CONDUIT_DOWN = register("medium_yellow_conduit_down", () -> new MediumYellowConduitDown(BlockBehaviour.Properties.of(Material.METAL).sound(SoundType.METAL)), object -> () -> new BlockItem(object.get(), new Item.Properties().tab(TrekFiles.TREKFILES_TAB))); public static final RegistryObject<Block> LARGE_BLUE_CONDUIT_UP = register("large_blue_conduit_up", () -> new LargeBlueConduitUp(BlockBehaviour.Properties.copy(Blocks.BONE_BLOCK).sound(SoundType.METAL)), object -> () -> new BlockItem(object.get(), new Item.Properties().tab(TrekFiles.TREKFILES_TAB))); public static final RegistryObject<Block> LARGE_BLUE_CONDUIT_DOWN = register("large_blue_conduit_down", () -> new LargeBlueConduitDown(BlockBehaviour.Properties.copy(Blocks.BONE_BLOCK).sound(SoundType.METAL)), object -> () -> new BlockItem(object.get(), new Item.Properties().tab(TrekFiles.TREKFILES_TAB))); public static final RegistryObject<Block> LARGE_RED_CONDUIT_UP = register("large_red_conduit_up", () -> new LargeRedConduitUp(BlockBehaviour.Properties.copy(Blocks.BONE_BLOCK).sound(SoundType.METAL)), object -> () -> new BlockItem(object.get(), new Item.Properties().tab(TrekFiles.TREKFILES_TAB))); public static final RegistryObject<Block> LARGE_RED_CONDUIT_DOWN = register("large_red_conduit_down", () -> new LargeRedConduitDown(BlockBehaviour.Properties.copy(Blocks.BONE_BLOCK).sound(SoundType.METAL)), object -> () -> new BlockItem(object.get(), new Item.Properties().tab(TrekFiles.TREKFILES_TAB))); private static <T extends Block> RegistryObject<T> registerBlock(final String name, final Supplier<?
