I have a crop that has AGE property that changes from 0 to 29.

There are 5 different block models:

• Stage 0 - AGE from 0 to 5
• Stage 1 - AGE from 6 to 11
• Stage 2 - AGE from 12 to 17
• Stage 3 - AGE from 18 to 23
• Stage 4 - AGE from 24 to 29

For every stage there is a different model.

My blockstate JSON file looks like this:

{
	"variants":{
		"age=0" : {
			"model" : "experimentalmod:block/fruit_plant_stage_0"
		},
		"age=1" : {
			"model" : "experimentalmod:block/fruit_plant_stage_0"
		},
		"age=2" : {
			"model" : "experimentalmod:block/fruit_plant_stage_0"
		},
		"age=3" : {
			"model" : "experimentalmod:block/fruit_plant_stage_0"
		},
		"age=4" : {
			"model" : "experimentalmod:block/fruit_plant_stage_0"
		},
		"age=5" : {
			"model" : "experimentalmod:block/fruit_plant_stage_0"
		},
		"age=6" : {
			"model" : "experimentalmod:block/fruit_plant_stage_1"
		},
		"age=7" : {
			"model" : "experimentalmod:block/fruit_plant_stage_1"
		},
		"age=8" : {
			"model" : "experimentalmod:block/fruit_plant_stage_1"
		},
		"age=9" : {
			"model" : "experimentalmod:block/fruit_plant_stage_1"
		},
		"age=10" : {
			"model" : "experimentalmod:block/fruit_plant_stage_1"
		},
		"age=11" : {
			"model" : "experimentalmod:block/fruit_plant_stage_1"
		},
		...
	}
}

Although this works, I find it terrible from the code quality perspective.

I have searched for any clues on how to use same model for different variants but without success.

Is there a way to say:

• For AGE values from 0 to 5 use model fruit_plant_stage_0
• For AGE values from 6 to 11 use model fruit_plant_stage_1
• ...etc

Thanks

@diesieben07 Adding data generator for this is def something I had in plan, but I am not sure if this is most optimized JSON output, regardless if it is manual or auto generated.

Can it be improved / regrouped in a way I have envisioned to have multiple variants point to same model?

@diesieben07 Ok thank you, good to know that.
