I have a machine thats very much like the furnace where it has different textures for the top, bottom, sides and front. The front shows fine when I place It but in my inventory, and in hand it shows the side of the block and not the front. How would I rotate the block?

If I remember correctly it was something like this inside your getIcon(int side, int meta){} method:

if(side == 3 && meta == 0){
return frontIcon;
}else{
//Your current code
}

Thanks man thats exactly what I was looking for
