I'm trying to make a block (with TileEntity) that uses a different model depending on its NBT.

Can anyone point me in a direction, I'm not sure where to start. I've done the same for items, but never for blocks.

Blocks do not have any NBT data associated with them. Do you mean ItemBlocks or TileEntities?

ItemBlocks are not different from regular items in this regard.

You can use Block::getActualState to return an IBlockState that relies on something like a TileEntity to define values for some of it's properties. See BlockFlowerPot for more details and an example.

Yeah sorry I meant TileEntities... long day

You can put whatever data you need from the TileEntity into the block state either using getActualState (if the amount of states is enumerable) or getExtendedState (for this you will need a custom runtime model).

I don't think I can use states, I'm making a block that can look like any other block. The tile entity stores a Blockstate value and the block is supposed to look like that blockstate

Then you need getExtendedState with unlisted properties and a custom runtime model.

Ok, how do I make a runtime model?

Oops  Thanks
