[1.12] Subfolders in blockstates directory

[jmml97]

By default Forge searches the blockstates folder for the blocks JSON files. How can I specify a subfolder so I can have that more organized?

You'll need to create a class that extends StateMapperBase and implements StateMapperBase#getModelResourceLocation to do something similar to StateMap#getModelResourceLocation. Instead of using the Block's registry name as the domain/path of the ModelResourceLocation directly, it should prefix the path with the name of the subdirectory.

 

Register an instance of this for your Block(s) with ModelLoader.setCustomStateMapper in ModelRegistryEvent.

I have a working example here, although it is to select between two different blockstate files based on a property, but the broad strokes are the same.  Note that StateMapperBase is client-side-only and you need to call ModelLoader.setCustomStateMapper for your block, which I do here.
