I'd like to make a fire block. It would be just fire, not something on fire, just a block of fire, that could be place like a standard block. 

What have you done so far?

So far , ive made a standard block, using the cube model (fullcube and isOpaqueCube =false, with the facing set using the fire_layer_1 and fire_layer_0 textures.  It kinda works, but the up is not right, and it dosn't  look as active as a real fire

Okay, so you're having trouble with the modeling or the textures?  Do you mean the artwork isn't the way you want it? When you as "not as active" do you mean you want a faster animation? Or more random?

 

One thing you might want to try is to use the "cross" style model like flowers have where the texture is applied to surfaces through the middle of the block instead of the outside sides. You can look at flower blocks to see how that is done.

 

I would think that using the minecraft fire textures may not look "real" but would be nicely consistent with the Minecraft look.

 

Anyway, it would probably be best if you could include a graphic of what it looks like currently and a more specific description of what you want to change.

I.m trying a new approach , using a copy of the blockstate for fire and setting all the directions to true.  Oh and when i said real, i did mean the way it looks in MC. 

Made basic glass block,  use the minecraft blockstate  .json with the whens removed, so every side is lit up.  non damage , decorative  fire block

Nice. So do you need any more help, or did you complete what you wanted to do?

got it to work ok.  sitll playing with it , making it smaller, maybe go over two blocks
