[1.8.9] How do I rotate depending on the time?

[sjoopies]

I have a block and it is using an OBJ file and everything works except I want to rotate it depending on the time. I tried different things but I could not get it to work.

For 90-degree rotations, you should be able to rotate the model from the blockstates file. Create a property in your block's state to store the current rotation (this could be an enum), then override

Block#getActualState

to return an

IBlockState

with this property set to the appropriate value based on the current world time (

World#getWorldTime

).

 

For other rotations, you may be able to do something with

ISmartBlockModel

or

TileEntitySpecialRenderer
