Trying to accomplish the same thing with a model two blocks wide and two blocks tall. Currently using 4 split model pieces and then using BlockStates to change the piece out. Still trying to work it out though haha

No. You must use two blocks.

Quick question then, do TileEntities support loading of BlockStates to a Block it is housed in? Trying to make this as painless as possible to load up states over 16.

I can share what I've done once I make sure it doesn't blow up in my face anymore :P

Tried that, although only tried to use data from the TileEntity to set the state there. Should I use placement instead in the "group" of multiblocks? Like parent is x,y,z and child is using that parent's position to determine the state? What would you recommend

I need to have a 2 block high block I can activate. that's basically it.

the top part and the bottom part need to act as 1 block.

Expand  

Ah ok, then yeah, it should be fine for you. Unless it doesn't act like a door, then you might have to do a bit of a rewrite :P

Were you syncing the data to the client?

I do that for one of my structures. A 3x3 millstone.

Yep, just could never find the right way to set the state to the Block. Since I kept getting NullPointers for the block state. :S

Ah sweet, currently making the base classes for this so that I can do it as large as I need :D Hopefully it doesn't explode too much :P

No, you're not.

That line you have does like 14 things and one of them is throwing null (and it is almost certainly not the getBlockState() part). You need to either:

a) break it up onto multiple lines to figure out which piece is null

b) use your god damn debugger to do the same thing
