Replacement for StateMappers in 1.13.2 / BlockState hierarchies [Resolved]

[daruskiy]

Turns out you can actually just pass in a full route to ResourceLocation after looking at ModelBakery. So something like works for those who are curious: 

new ResourceLocation(yourModID, "subfolder/" + blockname)

after which the block or item will resolve to modid.subfolder.blockname at runtime

 

 

I was reading over https://gist.github.com/williewillus/353c872bcf1a6ace9921189f6100d09a and saw that StateMappers are completely removed.

 

I was using the StateMapper in 1.12 to define a custom BlockState hierarchy. i.e. blockstates/typeA/someblock.json, blockStates/typeB/someotherblockingroup.json

Additional as part of ModelRegistry event I was using 

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation

To achieve the same behavior for the items folder. 

 

After reading over the new files nothing stands out about a method to be to reproduce this behavior. 

Is anyone aware of a method that is able to achieve the same behavior? It is neccessary for me due to have ~1000 blocks with variants + ~500 separate items discounting itemblocks.

Welcome to The Flattening. Metadata "variants" are no longer a thing.

Correct but I don't need it for metadata. I was just using the StateMapper to help create/organize my BlockStates and item folders with an inner hierarchy that would make it more manageable and more easily traceable for the blocks im working with.

 

i.e.

blockstates/someAbstractGroup (not metadata, just individual blocks) / someBlocksinhere.json'

blockStates/anotherGroup/[someotherblock.json, someotherblock.json], etc.

if that makes sense

 

heres how it used to be in 1.12 for reference:

Resource locations have always been able to do that.
