Algorithm for changing textures based on position

[Cilka]

Hi everyone, right now I'm in middle of converting my 1.7.10 code to 1.12.2. One of the blocks I had in before was a glass pane that changed its texture based on the position of where the pane was in relative to other blocks around it. Before i only used a 2D plane, but I was able to determine what axis the block was placed on using a combo of  "canPaneConnectToBlock" and "world.isSideSolid". Now that those methods are gone, I'm trying a to use a 3D plane where North(-Z) , East(-X)  and South(+Z), West(+X) are interchangeable. Up and down will be the Y axis. For now, all of my panes, no matter what position i put them in, are calculated as a bottom pane. Can anyone point me in the direction of what I should do for this?

Have a look at MBE05 in Minecraft by example, I think it’s exactly what you want

I'll take a look at that. Thanks!

I looked at the example, and there isn't really much i can go off of given what I was trying to do. In the Block3DWeb it only seems to care about what next to the block first. Say if there were two blocks on the bottom and the left side, if the block saw the left block first, It would only care about the left block, not noticing the bottom block. What I need to determine is how block is facing in the world so i know which neighbors to use. It's a good example, but a bit over complicated for what I'm trying to do now ^^".

Post from the dead here. I finally got around to implementing the glass pane frames for my mod. Code wise I think I got the blockstate thing down. There are 16 states that these glass pane frames can be in along with the 4 states that I'm inheriting (North, South, East, West). I took a look at how the blockstate json handles its 4 states. Example here for Cyan Stained Glass Pane:

{
    "multipart": [
        {   "apply": { "model": "cyan_stained_glass_pane_post" }},
        {   "when": { "north": true },
            "apply": { "model": "cyan_stained_glass_pane_side" }
        },
        {   "when": { "east": true },
            "apply": { "model": "cyan_stained_glass_pane_side", "y": 90 }
        },
        {   "when": { "south": true },
            "apply": { "model": "cyan_stained_glass_pane_side_alt" }
        },
        {   "when": { "west": true },
            "apply": { "model": "cyan_stained_glass_pane_side_alt", "y": 90 }
        },
        {   "when": { "north": false },
            "apply": { "model": "cyan_stained_glass_pane_noside" }
        },
        {   "when": { "east": false },
            "apply": { "model": "cyan_stained_glass_pane_noside_alt" }
        },
        {   "when": { "south": false },
            "apply": { "model": "cyan_stained_glass_pane_noside_alt", "y": 90 }
        },
        {   "when": { "west": false },
            "apply": { "model": "cyan_stained_glass_pane_noside", "y": 270 }
        }
    ]
}
 

Now the 16 blockstates I've created are to go with the original 4 from BlockPane. If I do what I am thinking of doing, I will have to have 128 models just for 1 glass pane frame. Here is the question, is there a less painful way to create the blockstate and models?

I believe that is wrong...cant you just have two models per color/whatever(16). And then an extra one that's empty. Then an extra one that is empty to apply when it is false. Which comes to 16x2+1=33 which is a lot, but you can just parent the glass pane model and change the texture.

I see what you are saying. My concern would be if leave the false sides without a model, the model would not look as intended. I'll try what you are suggesting. It will be a good starting point at least.
