I am making a mod that has a variety of items and blocks.

I need to use connected textures for one of the blocks, I have the code that someone gave me, but I don't know how to make the textures for them.

I tried using the glass textures in Optifine, but I'm just getting the missing texture texture on random sides and the textures aren't lining up right.

 

I got this code from another modding help site, that I unfortunately don't have the link to. One person just posted the code, but didn't explain how it works and he/she didn't even point in the right direction, so that I could figure it out myself.

I would appreciate it if someone would tell me how to create the textures with a diagram, video, or even just explaining it in text format.

 

Thanks in Advance

 

PS: Sorry for my bad English, it is not my first language.

 

Code for my block class:

Basically for each pair of opposite sides (north+south, east+west, top+bottom) it figures out which of the 8 blocks around it would have an effect on the texture.

 

Then based on which ones are itself it picks the appropriate texture and places it into the front of the array.

Thanks now i understand what the code does, but would I use the glass textures in Optifine, but re-texture them because I did that and I'm getting dark magenta and black squares on some sides or is there something more obvious that I'm missing.

"Dark magenta and black squares" is "missing texture."  Check your logs.

I don't have any errors say that I'm missing a texture.

Any other ideas?

Basically I would like to know, how to set up the textures using this code because i have tried and failed, but i 'm hopping someone can help me.
