[SOLVED][1.14.3] age=<number> does not work in blockstate json.

[MrNoodles75]

So in my mod, there are Termite nests that grow upwards and outwards, and I want them to have different textures as the nests grow older.

to do that I did this:

  "variants": {
    "age=0": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl0" },
    "age=1": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl0" },
    "age=2": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl0" },
    "age=3": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl1" },
    "age=4": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl1" },

    "age=6": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl1" },
    "age=7": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl2" },
    "age=8": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl2" },
    "age=9": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl2" },
    "age=10": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl2" },
    "age=11": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl2" },
    "age=12": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl2" },
    "age=13": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl2" },
    "age=14": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl2" },
    "age=15": { "model": "extrablocks:block/termite_nestl2" }
  }
}

but that did not work (before you ask the block models are referring to actual pictures).

 

and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my java file:

What do you keep doing that makes your spoilers have 3000 pixels of pointless whitespace in them?

@Draco18s

if you could tell me I would be happy. it seems the larger the text I paste into the spoiler the more whitespace there is, maybe it is that I am pasting it straight from IntelliJ

Its been suggested that it's a Rich Text issue. Try pasting and then clicking the T_x button with it all selected. I believe the forum also pops up a little notification when you paste if you want to paste as plain text.
