So I've added an ore to my mod with a custom model. And when I put them side by side, it's pretty plain. Can anybody teach me how to add random block rotations so It's not always the same pattern?

In your blockstate json add a couple of "normal" variants with different rotations. For example:
  

{
  "forge_marker": 1,
  "defaults": {
    "model": "modid:modblock"
  },
  "variants": {
    "normal": [
      {
        "model": "modid:modblock"
      },
      {
        "model": "modid:modblock",
        "y": 90
      },
      {
        "model": "modid:modblock",
        "y": 180
      },
      {
        "model": "modid:modblock",
        "y": 270
      }
    ],
    "inventory": [{
      "transform": "forge:default-block"
    }]
  }
}

      {
        "model": "modid:modblock",

      }
    ],
    "inventory": [{
      "transform": "forge:default-block"
    }]
  }
}

 

so will the code look like this?

Spoiler

{
  "forge_marker": 1,
  "defaults": {
    "model": "imam:copper_ore"
  },
  "variants": {
    "normal": [
      {
        "model": "imam:copper_ore"
      },
      {
        "model": "imam:copper_ore",
        "y": 90
      },
      {
        "model": "imam:copper_ore",
        "y": 180
      },
      {
        "model": "imam:copper_ore",
        "y": 270
      }
    ],
     "inventory": [{
      "transform": "forge:default-block"
    }]
  }
}

By the way, Minecraft vanilla doesn't apply the random rotation thing to ores. You're free to do whatever you want, but I am one of those sorts of people who look at vanilla and tries to match style and ethos. So if vanilla doesn't apply random rotations to ores, then my ores won't have random rotation either. This the closest I've come to having a non-square model, and even then its based on the math behind water, soo...

 

(By the way, don't forget to add your ore blocks and items to the tag system)
