(1.18.2) Creating a half-height block

[badkraft]

I have the block below (`clay oven`). It is supposed to be a half-height block.

I'm looking for blocks in vanilla I can research that might give me a clue how to correct the rendering so the top renders where it's supposed to be and the top half of the block is transparent.

Another problem I'm having with this block is that when I place it, I get the back side facing me. How do I correct that?

Here is the current source (pretty basic at this point):

Spoiler

	private static class ClayOvenBlock extends CampfireBlock {

		public ClayOvenBlock() {
			super(true, 0, BlockBehaviour.Properties
					.of(Material.STONE)
					.strength(3.5F)
					.requiresCorrectToolForDrops()
					.lightLevel(litBlockEmission(8)));
		}

	}

I added the following to properly render the collision frame:

		protected static final VoxelShape SHAPE = Block.box(0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, 16.0D, 9.0D, 16.0D);

		//	...

		public VoxelShape getShape(BlockState state, BlockGetter getter, BlockPos pos, CollisionContext context) {
			return SHAPE;
		}

Side note: `getShape` is deprecated. What are we supposed to use? Campfire is using this method override.

The slab block?

Look at how the FurnaceBlock specifies side using a property.

#getShape. Mojang deprecates the method for usage, not overriding.

Fixed...

Used Blockbench to create the textures and exported the correct model.json.
