XIII Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I'm trying but just not understanding the new way metadata works. Last time I modded was back in 1.7.10. I'm just not getting the Enum variants code at all. All I'm trying to do is brush up on the new way by making a basic block that has different textures based on what it's crafted with, like the 16 colors of wool or 4 types of planks. Quote

XIII Posted March 16, 2018 Author Posted March 16, 2018 So better to just make a new block for each texture even if it's the same block but just changing the color? Quote

No, that's what Block States are for. They're easy. In fact, color is already done for you. There's a class called BlockColor you can extend.

As Draco18s said, it is best to learn how block states and variants work. However, if you're really stuck trying to understand it it would actually work to make new block for each. Not elegant, but it is logically a legitimate way to implement it. Quote Check out my tutorials here: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/
