Trouble with block state json file

[jamiemac262]

Hi,

 

I'm really new to forge modding and I've hit a wall while trying to set up textures.

 

When the client it starting up I get this stack trace:

My factionGrass.json looks like this:

 

{
	"forge_marker": 1,
	"defaults" : {
		"model": "factionmod: block/grass_normal"
	},
	"variants": {
		"normal":{
		
		},
	}
}

 

I also have the same errors about an inventory variant

Can anyone see where I've gone wrong?

 

thanks,

Jamie

In the Forge blockstates format, the normal variant needs to be formatted as an empty array (a pair of curly braces inside a pair of square brackets), like this:

"normal": [{

}]

The inventory variant also needs to be defined explicitly, in exactly the same format as normal.

 

You've also got a comma after your normal variant, which is a JSON syntax error - you should put your files through a validator or use a plugin in your IDE to avoid problems like that.

 

Edit: you also shouldn't have a space after the colon in your model definition string "factionmod: block/grass_normal".
