(1.12.2) Random Block Rotations

Posted August 26, 20196 yr

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"
    }]
  }
}

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

so will the code look like this?

{

"y": 270
}
],
"inventory": [{

}

Yep. It looks fine.

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)

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

Trying to boot MC Eternal 2 Server, works on linux not on Windows 11: Jvm args error

Okay so I was trying to boot an MC Eternal 2 Server, I downloaded the latest server files from Curse which include a 47.4.2 jar. Whenever I install the server files into my folder and attempt to boot the server, I get Error: Could not find or load main class @user_jvm_args.txt in the cmd and nothing else. Now, MCE2 does have its own custom args so I deleted those and tried simple xms and xmx args, but that didn't let the server boot either. I assumed that maybe my java version was out of date, but I have the latest version of Java Installed and I even installed the Java 17 SDK for good measure just in case Java 25 is too recent for the pack. Still no avail. I tried running a vanilla 1.20.1 and it boots just fine, but for some reason the forge server still won't boot. Does anyone know anything I could try?

Perhaps the slaked lime needs to be at a specific temperature (or needs to be stabilized before use).
