I know that similar things have been posted in the past, here, but they were all about tile entities. My block is just a normal block, based similarly to how the Terracotta blocks are in 1.12 snapshots.
Basically, I want it so when the block is placed, depending on the player's direction when placing the block, the block is rotated a certain way. I'm not sure how to go about doing that.
Like the Terracotta blocks, my blocks have different meta values depending on the color of the block, if that makes a difference...
Thanks in advance,
