Yes, the variant "age" does not exist in your block state. Neither does "normal" or "inventory". "inventory" is a special case, which would load an item model directly, without going to the block state, but that does not exist either.

 

How would I have it dynamically load based on the age value in the blockstate? I have 4 different age variants in each blockstate json.

This is an item model. Items do not have a blockstate.

 

What method would I need to use to register block models? The itemblock models don't load either.

Blocks do not need to register their models. The block state is mapped to a variant (just a string) using a StateMapper. The default state mapper creates a comma-separated list of key-value pairs ("age=3,direction=north", for example).

ItemBlock models are nothing special. They are item models like all others and not related to block models. They are not based on a block state.

 

Interesting. The code's changed quite a bit since last time I modded, it's been years. How would I go about properly setting this? I've not been able to find any suitable tutorials or working mods for it.
