Hey there,

I recently started modding minecraft. I know the basics already but i want to go more in depth with modding. So i was wondering how to make connected textures in a mod without an additional texture pack.

Can someone tell me how to do that?

Basically you should define a block state variant for each possibile combination of connected sides (and there are a lot of possible combinations)

 

Than, in your block getActualState, you check which sides of the block is connected to other blocks of the same type and return the correct variant

 

Do you know any good examples of a mod with such a structure in it?

This is a test block of my test mod that do just that:

 

https://github.com/ZeroNoRyouki/TestMod18/blob/master/src/main/java/zero/mods/testmod18/common/blocks/OrnatedEmeraldBlock.java

 

The code is not production grade but for a test it work fine
