[1.12] Custom Model texture in Forge Blockstate

[shane020482]

This is a quick and hopefully easy question. I have a custom model that uses diff textures that i would like to reuse using a diff set of textures. So the question is can i put the textures in the Forge Blockstate and if so how would i do this

You have textures.

That you would like to reuse.

Using different textures.

 

What.

I have a custom model that uses diff textures that i would like to reuse by putting a diff set of textures on it. Sry for the bad wording

This is what texture references are for.

Show your model.

[shane020482]

Ok i see what you mean in the model json

//this
	"textures": {
		"0": "cbm:blocks/steel",
		"1": "cbm:blocks/steel2",
		"particle": "cbm:blocks/steel"
	},
//becomes this
	"textures": {
		"0": "#0",
		"1": "#1"
	},

and in the blockstate you add this to default

"textures": {
      "0": "cbm:blocks/steel",
      "1": "cbm:blocks/steel2",
      "particle": "cbm:blocks/steel"
    }

Sigh. #0 and #1 are already texture references. That's what the "0" in "0": "cbm:blocks/steel" means.

 

You also made a typo.

"textures": {
      "0": "cbm:blocks/steel",
      "1": "cbm:blocks/steel2",
      "particle": "cbm:blocks/steel"
}

On the other hand, "cbm:#0" is gibberish.

Yea sry a cpl typos fixed them. As to the #0 thats the way the model references the textures ( "north": {"uv": [0, 0, 16, 16], "texture": "#0"} ). But are you saying i dont need to rename the textures in the model file

 

[Draco18s]

Nope, its supplied as a default, but the blockstate file overrides it.

Thanks that will make things easier going further
