[1.7.10] Directional blocks don't render correctly in inventory.

[Geforce]

Hey there,

 

I'm adding a "directional" block, just like a furnace or dispenser, in my mod. However, when I look at the block in my inventory, or while holding it in my hand, the "front" texture of my block doesn't face the right way. Even if I copy-paste the BlockFurnace code into my own Block class, when I look at the item, you can't see the front texture of the furnace (every side except the top and bottom has the "side" furance texture). But when I place it down, everything renders correctly. Is this a Forge bug or something? I'm using Forge v10.13.0.1180.

Hi

 

That just means that the front of your furnace is on the other side of the cube where you can't see it.  From memory, the item renders with a metadata of 0 which (presumably) makes your block face the other way. If you swap your metadata values around (i.e. make north south and east west) it should render with the front visible.
