[1.10.2] Random Texture Forge Blockstate JSON

[LogicTechCorp]

I know it's possible to choose random textures/models with the Vanilla JSON format. Is it possible to do the same with Forge's JSON format? I tried to do it but it does not seem to work. Am I doing something wrong or does it not work?

 

Vanilla:

{
  "variants": {
    "type=frozen": [{"model": "nex:frozen1"}, {"model": "nex:frozen2"}, {"model": "nex:frozen3"}]
  }
}

 

Forge:

{
  "forge_marker": 1,
  "defaults": {
    "transform": "forge:default-block"
  },
  "variants": {
    "type": {
      "frozen": [{"model": "nex:frozen1"}, {"model": "nex:frozen2"}, {"model": "nex:frozen3"}]
    }
  }
}

what are these?

"forge_marker": 1,
  "defaults": {
    "transform": "forge:default-block"
  }

i never seen this before.. what does it do exactly?

The forge marker makes it use the Forge model loader, which does variants much more nicely than vanilla.

i did not know that was a thing... tommorow i need to start working on a multiblock and i am modeling all the blocks with json... can you give me a tutorial that shows how to use this system? maybe i could just register 1 block for the whole thing and just load diffrent varients... i did not think of that.......

 

anyway its 00:42 AM and im watching youtube....  night ppl of the internet.....

and also place the diffrent block states within code

Bumping since my question got buried.

It should be able to, but you may want to do it in code, aka when the block is placed set its blockstate randomly.
