MC 1.10+ Custom wall JSON issue

[winnetrie]

I have created my own wall class and everything is working fine.

But there is something not right with the json file i think.

 

While my walls behave like it should be and they are rendered correctly in the world and in my inventory, there is something weird when i break them.

 

If you break a block, you see "breaking" particles wich is normal.

If i break my wall i see those particles without the right texture.

I see those particles in black/pink

 

Here is the json:

 

{
    "forge_marker": 1,
    "defaults": {
        "model": "builtin/generated"
        },
    "variants": {
        "up": {
            "true": {
                "submodel": {"wall_up": {"model": "wall_post"}}
            },
            "false": {}
        },
        "north": {
            "true": {
                "submodel": {"wall_north": {"model": "wall_side","uvlock": true}}
            },
            "false": {}
        },
        "east": {
            "true": {
                "submodel": {"wall_east": {"model": "wall_side","y": 90,"uvlock": true}}
            },
            "false": {}
        },
        "south": {
            "true": {
                "submodel": {"wall_south": {"model": "wall_side","y": 180,"uvlock": true}}
            },
            "false": {}
        },
        "west": {
            "true": {
                "submodel": {"wall_west": {"model": "wall_side","y": 270,"uvlock": true}}
            },
            "false": {}
        },
        
        "type": {
            "raw": {
                "textures": {
                    "wall": "tem:blocks/chalkstone"
                }
            },
            "smooth": {
                "textures": {
                    "wall": "tem:blocks/smooth_chalkstone"
                }
            },
            "bricked": {
                "textures": {
                    "wall": "tem:blocks/bricked_chalkstone"
                }
            }
        },
        "type=raw": {
            "model": "wall_inventory",
            "textures": {
                "wall": "tem:blocks/chalkstone"
            }
        },
        "type=smooth": {
            "model": "wall_inventory",
            "textures": {
                "wall": "tem:blocks/smooth_chalkstone"
            }
        
        },
        "type=bricked": {
            "model": "wall_inventory",
            "textures": {
                "wall": "tem:blocks/bricked_chalkstone"
            }
        }
    }
}

 

 

I figured out that removing this from the json:

 

 "defaults": {
        "model": "builtin/generated"
        },

fixes it more or less but then i see this in the console:

 

[23:56:47] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: MultiModel minecraft:builtin/missing is empty (no base model or parts were provided/resolved)

[23:56:47] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: MultiModel minecraft:builtin/missing is empty (no base model or parts were provided/resolved)

[23:56:48] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: MultiModel minecraft:builtin/missing is empty (no base model or parts were provided/resolved)

 

The particles are mostly normal then, except for 1.

So i still see the black/pink particles but it's like just 1 out of 10.

 

How can i fix this?

 

Everything is working good, just this particle thing is really ennoying!

[jeffryfisher]

It's an amazing coincidence that I am also running into a json issue with custom walls today. Maybe we can converge on a solution that works for both of our mods.

 

I took a different approach to the blockstates file, attempting to separate the texture from the other properties in an advanced Forge blockstate file and then copy the multipart json from vanilla. Unfortunately, I get a slew of MissingVariantException, so either I wrote it wrong, or it's not possible to do what I have attempted.

 

What do you think of this blockstates file (is it salvageable?):

 

{
  "forge_marker": 1,
  "variants": {
    "multipart": [
        {   "when": { "up": "true" },
            "apply": { "model": "wall_post" }
        },
        {   "when": { "north": "true" },
            "apply": { "model": "wall_side", "uvlock": true }
        },
        {   "when": { "east": "true" },
            "apply": { "model": "wall_side", "y": 90, "uvlock": true }
        },
        {   "when": { "south": "true" },
            "apply": { "model": "wall_side", "y": 180, "uvlock": true }
        },
        {   "when": { "west": "true" },
            "apply": { "model": "wall_side", "y": 270, "uvlock": true }
        }
    ],
    "skin": {
        "0":  { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/cobblestone" }},
        "1":  { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/cobblestone_mossy" }},
        "2":  { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/hay_block_side" }},
        "3":  { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/prismarine_dark" }},
        "4":  { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/prismarine_bricks" }},
        "5":  { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/lapis_block" }},
        "6":  { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/quartz_ore" }},
        "7":  { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/quartz_block_lines" }},
        "8":  { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/iron_block" }},
        "9":  { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/red_sandstone_normal" }},
        "10": { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/red_sandstone_carved" }},
        "11": { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/glass" }},
        "12": { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/glowstone" }},
        "13": { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/sea_lantern" }},
        "14": { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/diamond_block" }},
        "15": { "textures": { "wall": "minecraft:blocks/emerald_block" }}
    }
  }
}

 

Maybe I need to continue the multipart to "apply" each of the skins? would such a solution work for your custom walls also?

[jeffryfisher]

I tried continuing the multipart:

{
  "variants": {
    "multipart": [
        {   "when": { "up": "true" },
            "apply": { "model": "wall_post" }
        },
        {   "when": { "north": "true" },
            "apply": { "model": "wall_side", "uvlock": true }
        },
        {   "when": { "east": "true" },
            "apply": { "model": "wall_side", "y": 90, "uvlock": true }
        },
        {   "when": { "south": "true" },
            "apply": { "model": "wall_side", "y": 180, "uvlock": true }
        },
        {   "when": { "west": "true" },
            "apply": { "model": "wall_side", "y": 270, "uvlock": true }
        },

        {   "when": { "skin": "0" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/cobblestone"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "1" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/cobblestone_mossy"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "2" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/hay_block_side"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "3" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/prismarine_dark"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "4" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/prismarine_bricks"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "5" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/lapis_block"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "6" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/quartz_ore"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "7" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/quartz_block_lines"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "8" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/iron_block"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "9" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/red_sandstone_normal"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "10" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/red_sandstone_carved"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "11" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/glass"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "12" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/glowstone"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "13" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/sea_lantern"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "14" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/diamond_block"} }
        },
        {   "when": { "skin": "15" },
            "apply": { "textures": {"wall": "minecraft:blocks/emerald_block"} }
        }
    ]
  }
}

 

But I still get only a huge number of MissingVariantException. It's as if the multipart is completely ignored. I checked it with json lint, so syntax is okay. Is there an explanation of multipart out there somewhere? Or, is it the wrong tool to use when separating tesxture assignment from model assignment?

 

PS: If my problem is really different from the OP, let me know so I can start a separate thread.

@Winnetrie

Use the model "block/wall_post" as a parent instead of "builtin/generated"

 

@jeffryfisher

I might be wrong, but I believe that Forge's blockstate files make use of submodels not multiparts.

[trollworkout]

Forge's own blockstate is confusing as heck and has zero documentation. Only a select few people know how to use it 100%.

 

Essentially to get it working you need to do so many extra steps.

 

Multipart in forge submodel looks like this

 

 "forge_marker": 1,
    "defaults": {
        "model": "technorcery:depositsVat"
    },
    "variants": {
        "north": {
            "true": {
                "submodel": {
                    "spout_north" : {
                     "model": "technorcery:depositsVat_spout",
                    "uvlock": true
                    }
                }
            },
            "false": {}
        },
...etc

 

 

Also you need to register it as whatever the main node is in this case "variants" If you would call it "bigscarymain" then you register as that.

 

Also notice how each submodel is named . I don't know if the naming matters what it is but without it it won't work.

 

I recommend going vanilla json and forget about forge blockstates.

[winnetrie]

@Jeffreyfisher

 

I tried that approach first too with the multiparts, but i found out it was completely ignored (i think so)

It gave me those variant exception errors, so i tried another way. Like i posted in the first post.

This was working fine for except a small issue with the black/purple particles.

 

I don't mind if you post your problem with your walls here too, but a moderator could see this as a thread hijack 

You have helped me alot already with other things, so np for me.

 

@Matryoshika

 

My first thoughts was also using wall_post, but that creates now a wall post in every wall piece. That's not how it should look like.

I found some small documentation about forge blockstates, there in a small example too they use submodels.

So i also believe we need to make use of submodels and not multiparts.

 

@trollworkout

 

Forge's own blockstate is confusing as heck and has zero documentation. Only a select few people know how to use it 100%.

It is only confusing if you don't understand it. It becomes more clear if you dig deeper in it. Perhaps you are right and only a few people know about this 100%, but isn't the purpose of this forum to share information and help others?

 

Essentially to get it working you need to do so many extra steps.

That's not true, in my opinion it takes less work.

The example you give is just the same as i did

 

I recommend going vanilla json and forget about forge blockstates.

The forge team is working very hard to give us all these things, yet you recommend people not to use an improvement?

The forge blockstates json is a great improvement and you better start learning how to use it.

 

 

[winnetrie]

Removing the entry from default gives me the best option for now, but it's not good enough for me.

I still see some wrong particles (black/pink). I have no clue why.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

[Draco18s]

The "particle" texture is unspecified/missing.

[winnetrie]

The "particle" texture is unspecified/missing.

 

Most of the particles are normal, just a few (1-3) are not correct.

Does your solution still applies for this?

 

How would i add this in the json file.

 

here a screenshot

It was hard to capture it, but you see the wrong particles

[larsgerrits]

Forge's own blockstate ... has zero documentation.

mcforge.readthedocs.io has a detailed documentation of the Forge blockstate system. It also has documentation for other systems. You might want to check this out before complaining.

[winnetrie]

I managed to get a better screenshot of the problem i have:

 

 

You can see i have "normal" particles and untextured particles.

 

this is my blockstate file:

}

 

I hope someone can help me with this.

[larsgerrits]

If you have a missing texture, there has to be an error in the logs. Post them for help.

comes up 6 times. If i provide a model in the default section of the blockstate file this error is gone, but the problem persists

[larsgerrits]

"type=raw": {
            "model": "wall_inventory",
            "textures": {
                "wall": "tem:blocks/chalkstone"
                
            }
        },

"type=raw" doesn't work that way, you have to do it just like the other variants.

 

Also, you can specify your main model in de default section, instead of 3 times in the type variant.

[winnetrie]

The piece you show is to create my item models wich are working fine.

If this isn't the proper way how to do it then?

 

How do i specify my main model in the default section?

What is the main model anyway?

 

EDIT:

I tried many things now and it only makes it worse.

If i set a main model in my default section all my walls look like that.

 

I also need it 3 times because i need 3 different textures for the items.

My custom walls are working now. I had item model files left over from mc 1.8, so I gave up trying to teach the blockstates json to do inventory. Here's one of my blockstates files that handles blocks only:

 

{
  "forge_marker": 1,
  "variants": {
      "up" : {
	"true"	: {"submodel": {"wall_up"    : {"model": "wall_post" }}},
	"false"	: {}
      },
      "north" : {
	"true"	: {"submodel": {"wall_north" : {"model": "wall_side", "uvlock": true }}},
	"false"	: {}
      },
      "east" : {
	"true"	: {"submodel": {"wall_east"  : {"model": "wall_side", "uvlock": true, "y": 90 }}},
	"false"	: {}
      },
      "south" : {
	"true"	: {"submodel": {"wall_south" : {"model": "wall_side", "uvlock": true, "y": 180 }}},
	"false"	: {}
      },
      "west" : {
	"true"	: {"submodel": {"wall_west"  : {"model": "wall_side", "uvlock": true, "y": 270 }}},
	"false"	: {}
      },
      "skin" : {
        "0":  { "textures": { "wall": "blocks/stonebrick" }},
        "1":  { "textures": { "wall": "blocks/stonebrick_mossy" }},
        "2":  { "textures": { "wall": "blocks/stonebrick_cracked" }},

        "9":  { "textures": { "wall": "blocks/sandstone_normal" }},
        "10": { "textures": { "wall": "blocks/sandstone_carved" }},
        "11": { "textures": { "wall": "blocks/stone" }},
        "12": { "textures": { "wall": "blocks/stone_granite_smooth" }},
        "13": { "textures": { "wall": "blocks/stone_diorite_smooth" }},
        "14": { "textures": { "wall": "blocks/stone_andesite_smooth" }},
        "15": { "textures": { "wall": "blocks/end_stone" }}
      }
  }
}

I have the feeling people do not understand what the problem is i have!

My inventory works fine, my walls are working fine. Look at the pictures i posted.

 

This is my blockstate file again:

            "true": {
                "submodel": {"wall_north": {"model": "wall_side","uvlock": true}}
            },
            "false": {}
        },
        "east": {
            "true": {
                "submodel": {"wall_east": {"model": "wall_side","y": 90,"uvlock": true}}

            }
        }
    }
}

 

 

I have a working item for my wall

I have a fully working wall

I have a small untextured particle issue. Just a few are untextured.

I can't find out why this happens.

I have still this error too:

 

[Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: MultiModel minecraft:builtin/missing is empty (no base model or parts were provided/resolved)

 

If i have to provide a base model in the default section, wich do i use? Is there even a base model for walls?

I tried these already:

-builtin/generated --> with this all the particles are untextured

-wall_inventory --> all placed walls looks like the inventory model

-wall_post --> all placed walls have a wallpost inside it

-wall_side --> all placed walls are equipped with a side piece

-cube_all --> yes i was so desperate i tried it.....but ofc black purple squares

 

I really don't know what to do anymore.

[Choonster]

You should be able to create an empty model like this to use as the default and then specify the

"particle"

texture in the blockstates file like this.

Thank you so much, i already came up with the idea to make a custom empty model, but i had no json code inside it.

I tried your approach and yes that works fine now.

here is what i have now:

 

{
    "forge_marker": 1,
    "defaults": {
        "model": "tem:dummy",
        "textures": {
            "particle": "tem:blocks/bricked_chalkstone"
        }    
    },
    
    "variants": {
        "up": {
            "true": {
                "submodel": {"wall_up": {"model": "wall_post"}}
            },
            "false": {}
        },
        "north": {
            "true": {
                "submodel": {"wall_north": {"model": "wall_side","uvlock": true}}
            },
            "false": {}
        },
        "east": {
            "true": {
                "submodel": {"wall_east": {"model": "wall_side","y": 90,"uvlock": true}}
            },
            "false": {}
        },
        "south": {
            "true": {
                "submodel": {"wall_south": {"model": "wall_side","y": 180,"uvlock": true}}
            },
            "false": {}
        },
        "west": {
            "true": {
                "submodel": {"wall_west": {"model": "wall_side","y": 270,"uvlock": true}}
            },
            "false": {}
        },
        
        "type": {
            "raw": {
                "textures": {
                    "wall": "tem:blocks/chalkstone"
                    
                    
                }
            },
            "smooth": {
                "textures": {
                    "wall": "tem:blocks/smooth_chalkstone"
                    
                }
            },
            "bricked": {
                "textures": {
                    "wall": "tem:blocks/bricked_chalkstone"
                    
                }
            }
        },
        "type=raw": {
            "model": "wall_inventory",
            "textures": {
                "wall": "tem:blocks/chalkstone"
                
            }
        },
        "type=smooth": {
            "model": "wall_inventory",
            "textures": {
                "wall": "tem:blocks/smooth_chalkstone"
                
            }
        
        },
        "type=bricked": {
            "model": "wall_inventory",
            "textures": {
                "wall": "tem:blocks/bricked_chalkstone"
                
            }
        }
    }
}

 

The particle is now a defined texture, but can it be variable too or does this not matter?

The 3 stone types are almost the same so you won't notice a different color,but what if you have a wall in 16 colors?

Would the default particle for example white, be in every other block?

I don't know if it is working like this, just wondering.

Maybe i can use an empty texture for it?

The

"particle"

texture can be a reference to another texture (like in my example) or defined separately for each value of the

type

property.

 

Setting it to

"#wall"

should use the

"wall"

texture for the particles.

[jeffryfisher]

here is what i have now...

 

You have two sets of wall types at the bottom of the blockstates file. Are they doing the same thing? What's the difference between writing "raw" versus writing "type=raw"? Do both sets need to be there, or could they be consolidated?

 

It looks as if you might have solved the inventory texturing inside the blockstates file, but I'm unsure.

[winnetrie]

Yes i have 2 sets of types. 1 is for the block and the other is for the item (inventory).

I'm not sure what the best way is to do this, but for me this works fine.

 

the second set wich is called (type=raw) for example does not need to be the same as the first set.

It could be for example (myitem=rough). Those are only references to be used in the renderRegistry:

 

registerMetaRender(chalkstonewall,0,"type=raw");
	registerMetaRender(chalkstonewall,1,"type=smooth");
	registerMetaRender(chalkstonewall,2,"type=bricked");

 

the method is this:

private static void registerMetaRender(Block block, int meta, String variant){
	ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(Item.getItemFromBlock(block), meta, new ModelResourceLocation(block.getRegistryName(),variant));	
}

 

Getting the inventory item was never a problem, i only had this untextured glitch in the blocks particle effect.
