I've been working on getting a block with multiple blockstates that act as different blocks (similar to how in Thermal Expansion, all the ores are on the same id but with different meta values). I've encountered a bunch of problems, most of which I fixed on my own. However, I'm having a problem where although all 8 'variants' of my block appear in the creative menu, taking one and trying to place it always places the variant with meta:0. For reference, I am running MinecraftForge v12.18.0.2005 I've been trying to figure it out for about 2 hours now, and my google-fu is failing me. Chances are it is probably a really silly mistake. I'm fairly certain that it is a problem with my BlockGemOre class because everything seems to be rendering correctly from my json files. Can you tell me what I should do?
