Hello, this is my first post and I hope you are able to help me.

 

I created a custom block model using the MrCrayfish Model Creator and now, I want the front of the block facing the player upon being placed, just like Pistons or Dispensers.

            }

        }

    ]

}

 

 

The block is currently facing in south direction, this is what I did:

[spoiler=blockstates]{

    "variants": {

        "facing=north": { "model": "loa:crate_opener", "y": 180 },

        "facing=south": { "model": "loa:crate_opener", },

        "facing=west":  { "model": "loa:crate_opener", "y": 270 },

        "facing=east":  { "model": "loa:crate_opener", "y": 90 }

    }

}

 

 

If the block was a square, I would have to change the models.block json file and go on by changing something in the block class.

[spoiler=Stone Block]{

        "top": "MODNAME:blocks/stone_top",

        "front": "blocks/stone",

        "side": "blocks/stone",

    }

}

 

 

Where do I have to set the ""parent": block/orientable" for my block? Do I have to write it above "textures":? Since when I did this, the block was shown with the no-texture texture.

 

I structured my files like MrCrayfish did in his tutorials. There hasn't been a new tutorial video for 3 months.

First and foremost, your model file should be named similarly to your unlocalized name (e.g., "my_block.json", if you are following the MrCrayfish tutorials.

 

Secondly, the file within the package "assets.<modid>.models.block" with a .json extension (your model's exported .json file) can be edited directly to contain the line:

 

"parent": "block/orientable"

 

OR the line:

 

"parent": "block/orientable_vertical"

 

The top one allows for the four cardinal directions, while "block/orientable_vertical" is used primarily when the player places the block below his or her feet.

 

If you set up with gradlew correctly, you should be able to view the orientable.json file directly within Referenced Libraries->forgeSrc-1.8-##.##.#.####->assets->minecraft->models->block->orientable.json to see the original parent and what it contains.

While....vaguely correct, you shouldn't use the unlocalized name for your json. You should use your registry name for both of those.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

Did you get this to work? I'm having problems with models from MrCrayfish's model maker and orientation too, in 1.11.2 however, still relevant. I've had success with another block, but for some reason it crashes when trying to do this with a model. I have a machine which is just like the furnace - a block with different side textures, and this will place in one of 4 horizontal directions, but my other machine which uses a model gives this:

 

Quote

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Don't know how to convert factori:blockconveyor[facing=north] back into data...

I'm using the same parent. And I know the model and block file are good because they were working just fine before I added the FACING code.

      Help with minecraft dimension noise settings

      By BruhMoment · Posted

      does anyone know how to incorporate custom noise settings into a custom dimension through the use of datagen, I have created a custon json file for the noise settings that I want but I just don't know how to get it to register with the generated json file of the custom dimension.   here is the code for the dimension class package net.hurst.lustria.worldgen.dimension; import com.mojang.datafixers.util.Pair; import net.hurst.lustria.Lustria; import net.hurst.lustria.worldgen.biome.ModBiomes; import net.hurst.lustria.worldgen.registries.LustriaNoiseSettings; import net.minecraft.core.HolderGetter; import net.minecraft.core.registries.Registries; import net.minecraft.data.worldgen.BootstapContext; import net.minecraft.resources.ResourceKey; import net.minecraft.resources.ResourceLocation; import net.minecraft.tags.BlockTags; import net.minecraft.util.valueproviders.ConstantInt; import net.minecraft.world.level.Level; import net.minecraft.world.level.biome.*; import net.minecraft.world.level.dimension.BuiltinDimensionTypes; import net.minecraft.world.level.dimension.DimensionType; import net.minecraft.world.level.dimension.LevelStem; import net.minecraft.world.level.levelgen.NoiseBasedChunkGenerator; import net.minecraft.world.level.levelgen.NoiseGeneratorSettings; import java.util.List; import java.util.OptionalLong; public class ModDimensions { public static final ResourceKey<LevelStem> LUSTRIA_KEY = ResourceKey.create(Registries.LEVEL_STEM, ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath(Lustria.MOD_ID, "lustriadim")); public static final ResourceKey<Level> LUSTRIA_LEVEL_KEY = ResourceKey.create(Registries.DIMENSION, ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath(Lustria.MOD_ID, "lustriadim")); public static final ResourceKey<DimensionType> LUSTRIA_DIM_TYPE = ResourceKey.create(Registries.DIMENSION_TYPE, ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath(Lustria.MOD_ID, "lustriadim_type")); public static void bootstrapType(BootstapContext<DimensionType> context) { context.register(LUSTRIA_DIM_TYPE, new DimensionType( OptionalLong.of(12000), // fixedTime false, // hasSkylight true, // hasCeiling false, // ultraWarm false, // natural 1.0, // coordinateScale true, // bedWorks false, // respawnAnchorWorks -64, // minY 256, // height 256, // logicalHeight BlockTags.INFINIBURN_OVERWORLD, // infiniburn BuiltinDimensionTypes.OVERWORLD_EFFECTS, // effectsLocation 0.0f, // ambientLight new DimensionType.MonsterSettings(false, false, ConstantInt.of(0), 0))); } public static void bootstrapStem(BootstapContext<LevelStem> context) { HolderGetter<Biome> biomeRegistry = context.lookup(Registries.BIOME); HolderGetter<DimensionType> dimTypes = context.lookup(Registries.DIMENSION_TYPE); HolderGetter<NoiseGeneratorSettings> noiseGenSettings = context.lookup(Registries.NOISE_SETTINGS); NoiseBasedChunkGenerator wrappedChunkGenerator = new NoiseBasedChunkGenerator( new FixedBiomeSource(biomeRegistry.getOrThrow(Biomes.BEACH)), noiseGenSettings.getOrThrow(NoiseGeneratorSettings.CAVES)); NoiseBasedChunkGenerator noiseBasedChunkGenerator = new NoiseBasedChunkGenerator( MultiNoiseBiomeSource.createFromList( new Climate.ParameterList<>(List.of(Pair.of( Climate.parameters(0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F), biomeRegistry.getOrThrow(Biomes.BEACH)), Pair.of( Climate.parameters(0.1F, 0.2F, 0.0F, 0.2F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F), biomeRegistry.getOrThrow(Biomes.BIRCH_FOREST)), Pair.of( Climate.parameters(0.3F, 0.6F, 0.1F, 0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F), biomeRegistry.getOrThrow(Biomes.OCEAN)), Pair.of( Climate.parameters(0.4F, 0.3F, 0.2F, 0.1F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F), biomeRegistry.getOrThrow(Biomes.DARK_FOREST)) ))), noiseGenSettings.getOrThrow(NoiseGeneratorSettings.CAVES)); LevelStem stem = new LevelStem(dimTypes.getOrThrow(ModDimensions.LUSTRIA_DIM_TYPE), noiseBasedChunkGenerator); context.register(LUSTRIA_KEY, stem); } } minecraft version is 1.20.1
