I am following this tutorial for making my first block. I'm having trouble with the texture part. When the block is an item on the ground I see the texture, and when the block is in my inventory I see the texture. However, when placing the block in the world I get the purple and black squares. So far this is what I have for my code.

***SOLVED***
The tutorial above lists the file name as blockstates.tutorial_block.json which meant I had mine as blockstates.test_block.json. I changed it to test_block.json and poof it worked.
