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.

ill try that

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.
