[1.12] Apply textures via code?

[Insane96MCP]

I'm making a simple mod to have decorative ores. I would like to have this thing dynamically, so you can add ores by adding the Id via config.

E.g. The config would look like 

"Ore to create decoration block"
S: decorationOre <
	minecraft:coal_ore
>

This would create a new block named JASBTweaks:decorative_ore_minecraft_coal_ore. The problem is I really don't know how to get the textures for the block, since I need to use the original ones and need to be applied via code.

This is the DecorativeOre Class:
 

public class BlockDecorativeOre extends Block{

	public String oreId;
	public short oreMeta;
	
	public BlockDecorativeOre(String oreId, short oreMeta, String translationKey) {
		super(Material.ROCK);
		this.oreId = oreId;
		this.oreMeta = oreMeta;
		
		setRegistryName(new ResourceLocation(JASBTweaks.MOD_ID, "decorative_ore_" + oreId.replace(":", "_") + "_" + oreMeta));
		setTranslationKey(translationKey);
		setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.DECORATIONS);
		setHardness(1.5f);
		setResistance(5.0f);
		setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 0);
		ModBlocks.BLOCKS.add(this);
	}
	
	
}

So when the config is loaded I can register the block like
 

List<BlockDecorativeOre> decorativeOres = new ArrayList<DecorativeOre>();

public void onConfigLoad() {
	for (int i = 0; i < config.decorativeOres.length; i++) {
		//Get all the meta etc.
		decorativeOres.add(new DecorativeOre(name, meta, translationKey);
	}
}

The translation key part will surely be treated in another way.

I believe you can use a custom IStateMapper to set the blockstate of your block to the model of the vanilla/modded ore block.

Uhm, seems like the texture id is still taken from the block's resource location.

Your right, that would only work for vanilla ores.

I'd suggest looking at the ghost block's code.

Use this to get the IBakedModel from a BlockState:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getBlockRendererDispatcher().getModelForState(state);

Getting it from a ResourceLocation:

IBakedModel bakedModel;
IModel model;
try {
	model = ModelLoaderRegistry.getModel(resourceLocation);
} catch (Exception e) {
  throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
bakedModel = model.bake(TRSRTransformation.identity(), DefaultVertexFormats.BLOCK,
		location -> Minecraft.getMinecraft().getTextureMapBlocks().getAtlasSprite(location.toString()));
