How to give a block multiple textures in 1.16.5

[awesomedude3595]

I have been trying to make a custom crafting table I have everything working except the texture. This I don't even know where to start with I have made a top and side png file for my crafting table but don't know how to apply these in the 1.16.5 mdk.

you have to do this in the model of the block,
you can look in your IDE in the library of minecraft forge ("client-extra") there are all vanilla models,
the creafting table model would be interesting for you

Is there a way I can use a data generator to make the file.

public class ModModelProvider extends BlockModelProvider { public ModModelProvider(DataGenerator generator, ExistingFileHelper existingFileHelper) { super(generator, DesignableArmor.MOD_ID, existingFileHelper); } @Override protected void registerModels() { orientableWithBottom("crafting6x6", modLoc("crafting6x6_side"), modLoc("crafting6x6_side"), modLoc("crafting6x6_bottom"), modLoc("crafting6x6_top")); } }

 

I added this is this correct if so how do I register it so it actually loads

public class ModBlocks {
public static final RegistryObject<Block> crafting6x6 = register("crafting6x6", () ->
        new CraftingTableBlock(AbstractBlock.Properties.of(Material.WOOD).sound(SoundType.WOOD).harvestTool(ToolType.AXE).harvestLevel(0)));
static void register() {}
private static <T extends Block> RegistryObject<T> registerNoItem(String name, Supplier<T> block) {
    return Registration.Blocks.register(name, block);
}
private static <T extends Block> RegistryObject<T> register(String name, Supplier<T> block) {
    RegistryObject<T> ret = registerNoItem(name, block);
    Registration.Items.register(name, () -> new BlockItem(ret.get(),new Item.Properties().tab(ItemGroup.TAB_BUILDING_BLOCKS)));
    return ret;
}
}

 

public class ModBlockModelProvider extends BlockModelProvider {
    public ModBlockModelProvider(DataGenerator generator, ExistingFileHelper existingFileHelper) {
        super(generator, DesignableArmor.MOD_ID, existingFileHelper);
    }

    @Override
    protected void registerModels() {
        ModelFile crafting6x6 = orientableWithBottom("crafting6x6", modLoc("crafting6x6_side"), modLoc("crafting6x6_side"), modLoc("crafting6x6_bottom"), modLoc("crafting6x6_top"));
    }
}

 

public class ModBlockStateProvider extends BlockStateProvider {
    public ModBlockStateProvider(DataGenerator gen, ExistingFileHelper exFileHelper) {
        super(gen, DesignableArmor.MOD_ID, exFileHelper);
    }

    @Override
    protected void registerStatesAndModels() {

    }
}

I believe these are the files I need to use to texture my block I'm just not certain how to use them

Look at existing implementations?
F4 in Eclipse brings up the type hierarchy for a selected class.
