I have read the forge documentation: http://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/blockstates/states/

 

It does give a step-by-step walkthrough, but a lot of the time when it explains what to do I don't actually understand what I'm suppose to type and I just find it difficult learning what to do and how to do it.

 

Here is my code so far. I've followed all of the instructions but the thing is I think the block is still relying on the normal tag which I set in the blockstate. I took out the normal tag because it shouldn't need that anymore and sure enough I get the error: "Model definition for location odm:hot_tub_empty#normal not found". Also when I look at the block in-game using the F3 function, it doesn't show any of the metadata properties below the name of the block.

Don't use Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register

Instead use ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation

Don't use item.getUnlocalizedName

Instead use item.getRegistryName and don't append your modid to this.

hot_tub_empty = new BlockFloorLamp(...

 

This might cause you problems 

hot_tub_empty = new BlockFloorLamp(...

 

This might cause you problems 

 

Oh my god, thank you for pointing that out! This also explains why the hell my hot tub had the same collision box as the floor lamp...
