How would I make a block with variant textures

[MFMods]

A have a block which uses json model and looks fine.   Model is basically this: {parent_model: something, #texture1: minecraft:oak_planks}

Now, it time for a dark oak variant and spruce, etc. - is there a non-manual way to do it?
(I know copy/paste and changing oak to other wood would take less than a minute, but I'm thinking support for modded wood would be nice to have.)

The block has a block entity too (no renderer at the moment) so I was thinking of using that, though i never rendered blocks. I would be willing to set aside an item slot for material. Let's say I do - could I tell the renderer "render the block using this model, but instead of the oak texture, use this other texture"?

Use separate blocks.

If you use data generation to create your model this doesn't matter.

ok. how about second question?

can i use block entity renderer to render a json model, but change a resourcelocation of one texture?

[diesieben07]

In theory, yes, why?

[MFMods]

well, that would give me auto-magical support for any plank type in the game.

did anyone have any experience with it?
