So I know this is a probably really newb question but I can't seem to get the blockstates working right. I read through a few different tuts about them but am still lost as to what I'm doing wrong. Here is the blockstate that I have:

 

{
  "forge_marker": 1,
  "defaults": {
    "model": "commumod:purifier",
    "textures": {
      "front": "commumod:blocks/purifierFront_off",
      "top": "commumod:blocks/purifierTop",
      "side": "commumod:blocks/purifierSide",
      "bottom": "commumod:blocks/purifierSide"
    }
  },
  "variants": {
    "active": {
      "false": {},
      "true": {
        "textures": {
          "front": "commumod:blocks/purifierFront_on"
        }
      }
    },
    "facing": {
      "north": {},
      "south": { "y": 180 },
      "west": { "y": 270 },
      "east": { "y": 90 }
    },
    "active=false,facing=south,half=upper": [{
      "model": "commumod:purifier",
      "textures": {
        "all": "commumod:purifier"
      }
    }]
  }
}

 

 

I'm also having a problem rendering fluids. I can't find any blockstate files in Minecraft source so I'm assuming it's not needed, however I don't see any classes where the water and lava are explicitly declared in the source as well.

 

Help with either of these is much appreciated as I've spent well over two months trying to figure it out.

 

Thanks,

What isn't working with regards to your blockstates? Is your model not being used? Are your textures not showing up? Are you getting errors in the log?

 

Upload your FML log to Gist and link it here.

 

Minecraft uses its own separate rendering system for liquids that can't be used by mods. Forge adds the fluid system and a fluid baked model that can be used by the regular block rendering system.

 

You can see how I register my mod's fluids here, how I register the models for my fluids here and the blockstates file for my fluids here.

 

I explain how the model registration works here.

 

This has changed a bit in 1.9, so see the 1.9 branch of my repository for the 1.9 code.

oh woops.. wrote this falling asleep in bio class.. sorry

 

The textures aren't showing up.

Here it is on gist: https://gist.github.com/Cyb3rWarri0r8/83365fbd850e129bf4231123870f3b72

 

I think I see what your doing there with the fluids. I'll give it a try after I get back from work. Thanks

You already posted your blockstates file, I need to see the FML log to help you.

my bad. here: https://gist.github.com/Cyb3rWarri0r8/0c5b319c72f67aa43cc17268813e3849

[08:19:52] [Client thread/ERROR]: Supressed additional 107 model loading errors for domain commumod

 

The errors in your fluid.retaw blockstates file are suppressing the errors in your other blockstates files.

 

You can fix the fluid blockstates error by registering a custom

IStateMapper

like I do for my fluids.
