I was trying to implement a component similar to redstone comparator, but I'm having issues with the model when powered, but it displays as following: 

The model is specified as following:

Spoiler

{
	"textures": {
		"slab": "minecraft:block/smooth_stone",
		"or": "mymod:block/or_on",
		"lit": "minecraft:block/redstone_torch"
	},
	"elements": [
		{
			"name": "slab",
			"from": [0, 0, 0],
			"to": [16, 2, 16],
			"faces": {
				"north": {"uv": [0, 14, 16, 16], "texture": "slab", "cullface": "north" },

				"west": {"uv": [0, 14, 16, 16], "texture": "slab", "cullface": "west" },
				"up": {"uv": [0, 0, 16, 16], "texture": "or"},
				"down": {"uv": [0, 0, 16, 16], "texture": "slab", "cullface": "down" }
			}
		},
		{
			"from": [7, 7, 7],
			"to": [9, 7, 9],
			"faces": {
				"up": {"uv": [7, 6, 9, 8], "texture": "lit"}
			}
		},
		{
			"from": [7, 2, 6],

				"west": {"uv": [6, 5, 10, 11], "texture": "lit"}
			}
		},
		{
			"from": [6, 2, 7],
			"to": [10, 8, 9],
			"faces": {

			}
		},
		{
			"from": [7, 5, 2],
			"to": [9, 5, 4],
			"faces": {
				"up": {"uv": [7, 6, 9, 8], "texture": "lit"}
			}
		},
		{
			"from": [7, 2, 1],
			"to": [9, 6, 5],
			"faces": {
				"east": {"uv": [6, 5, 10, 9], "texture": "lit"},
				"west": {"uv": [6, 5, 10, 9], "texture": "lit"}
			}
		},
		{
			"from": [6, 2, 2],
			"to": [10, 6, 4],
			"faces": {
				"north": {"uv": [6, 5, 10, 9], "texture": "lit"},
				"south": {"uv": [6, 5, 10, 9], "texture": "lit"}
			}
		}
	]
}

 

Which is the same as what I've found the redstone repeater use, but for that, it is rendered correctly. Adding ambiendocclusion causes the whole top of the block to appear dark, aside from there I can not spot a difference. How do I solve this?

Mark thread as solved

I believe repeaters and comparators use the cutout render type which is done by setting the "render_type" to "cutout" in your model.

are the model files documented anywhere? I didn't have any luck on finding any sort of info on them. Adding `"render_typ": "cutout",` to the top didn't change anything.

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/JSON

It's render_type with an e.

if you don't show your code we really can't help you. You asserting you did things correctly helps nobody.

@warjort please see the spoiler in the original post for my model file. You were right, I had a typo that I have missed. 

I am familiar with JSON, but the wiki, including the link provided, and the link to models page has little to offer in terms of properties that can be used, the values that can be used and so on. For example I didn't find a documentation on faces, there's "front" but no "back", so I used "north" and "south", but that took time to find as well.

Here is the specific link with the JSON format: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorials/Models

As for the render_type information, that is specifically added by forge so you would need to look in the source to know about it.

Your spoiler is the code from before you asked the question.

The best way to ask a question is to put your code on github where we can see the full context and keep it up-to-date as you fix things.

The texture ids like "front" or "all" are pure convention. They are variable names. Usually created in a parent/template model then consumed/defined in your real model.

Only the 6 faces from the minecraft Direction class have any fixed meaning.

thanks @ChampionAsh5357 that is exactly what I was looking for!
