Aight. I've got this block, BlockElementalLight. It's pretty simple, it lights up.

Now, I've decided the block should be chiselable, meaning I need to create variants of the block to house the different textures.

The fruits of my labors are as shown:

item textures working, but not the block ones.

I based my code, and my json files, off of the vanilla code for dirt (dirt, coarse, podzol). I'd like to know what I can do to fix this. Relevant code is below.

BlockElementalLight.java

ItemBlockElementalLight.java

CommonProxy.java (I guess CommonProxies are a bad thing to have... oh well)

Blocks class

Edit: Error Logs

My json files follow the vanilla format so there is a separate blockstate, item model, and block model for each variant.

(they are each the same, except have the _glassless or _intricate suffix for those specific ones)

Here are the samples:

blockstates/light_elemental.json

{
    "variants": {
        "normal": { "model": "adjunct:light_elemental" }
    }
}

models/block/light_elemental.json

{
    "parent": "block/cube_all",
    "textures": {
        "all": "adjunct:blocks/light_elemental"
    }
}

models/item/light_elemental.json

{"parent": "adjunct:block/light_elemental"}

 

Also, to make this post EVEN longer, you know how I said I wanted these to be chiselable. Well, the whole chisel thing isn't working properly.

I have this (addVariations) function being ran from my init event.

	public static void addVariations(){
		addVariation("light_elemental", BlocksAdjunct.lightElemental, 0);
		addVariation("light_elemental", BlocksAdjunct.lightElemental, 1);
		addVariation("light_elemental", BlocksAdjunct.lightElemental, 2);
	}
	
	public static void addVariation(String group, Block block, int meta){
		NBTTagCompound tag = new NBTTagCompound();
		tag.setString("group", group);
		tag.setString("block", block.getRegistryName().toString());
		tag.setInteger("meta", meta);
		FMLInterModComms.sendMessage("chisel", "add_variation", tag);
	}

It seems to register the 0 metadata block as one that can enter the chisel, but it doesn't do the same for the 1 and 2 metadata blocks. When I replace the 1 and 2 metadata blocks with vanilla ones, the chiseling works flawlessly. Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks.

You define the "glassless", "default" and "intricate" in your code, but only have "normal" in your block state.

Yeah, I did that because I was attempting to mirror vanilla, which has a different json for each block (which would be the default, glassless, and intricate ones) of dirt. Is that not doable for my situation?

you need to define all your variants in your block state. The variants can point to whatever models you want

I have edited my light_elemental.json (in blockstates) to this:

{
    "variants": {
        "default": { "model": "adjunct:light_elemental" },
        "glassless": { "model": "adjunct:light_elemental_glassless" },
        "intricate": { "model": "adjunct:light_elemental_intricate" }
    }
}

yet the issue persists.

Those are not your variants. Your block has a single property called variant with values default, glassless and intricate. Therefor your variants are variant=default, variant=glassless and variant=intricate. The log should indicate this to you, please read it.

 

Moreover, block metadata is gone in 1.13.x. I recommend to flatten your blocks already (i.e. use different blocks instead of one block with variant) to ease future updating.

You're right. I've changed it now. Solved.
