[1.8] [SOLVED] How to add a block which is placed based on player facing

[flup52]

Hi

 

I recently started modding with forge and until now everything works fine. However, I encountered a problem when i tried to add a specific block. This block should have the ability to be placed in the direction which the player is facing (like a furnace or door). I already added several blocks but none of them has multiple textures. I tryed to copy all the .json files from the furnace and edit them like this:

 

atmospheric_extractor.json in blockstates

 

 

{
    "variants": {
        "facing=north": { "model": "lifecraft:atmospheric_extractor" },
        "facing=south": { "model": "lifecraft:atmospheric_extractor", "y": 180 },
        "facing=west":  { "model": "lifecraft:atmospheric_extractor", "y": 270 },
        "facing=east":  { "model": "lifecraft:atmospheric_extractor", "y": 90 }
    }
}

 

 

atmospheric_extractor.json in models/block

 

 

{
    "parent": "block/orientable",
    "textures": {
        "top": "lifecraft:blocks/machine_top",
        "front": "lifecraft:blocks/atmospheric_extractor_off",
        "side": "lifecraft:blocks/aluminium_block"
    }
}

 

 

atmospheric_extractor.json in models/items

 

 

{
    "parent": "lifecraft:block/atmospheric_extractor",
    "display": {
        "thirdperson": {
            "rotation": [ 10, -45, 170 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 1.5, -2.75 ],
            "scale": [ 0.375, 0.375, 0.375 ]
        }
    }
}

 

 

 

When I start up the game the block renders just with the standard texture. I don't expect the block to rotate to a specific orientation with my code but i can't even get it rendered.

 

I would be happy if someone could help me with my project.

 

Here are some of the .java files: (If you need further information feel free to ask and i will post it.)

Hi

 

A lot of necessary stuff is missing from your code.

 

This tutorial project has an example of blocks which can be placed facing different directions

Thanks very much it works!

I even found the reason why it wasn't rendering: I forgot the .json ending!
