1.14.4 - Create Two blocks with only a different face texture

[Maschiaccio72]

Hello everyone,

I am ABSOLUTELY NEW to minecraft modding (my first day!) and I understand my question could look stupid but I didn't understand one thing...

Is it possible (I assume it SHOULD BE) to create only ONE BLOCK (one class) and register two different copies of the same class changing only the texture face?

I wand to realize a set of simple building blocks.

In all the basic tutorials I found there is always ONE MODEL and ONE predefined TEXTURE each block class....(using json config files that MUST HAVE same name)

Being a programmer I think it's not possible such approach.... there is something I don't know ?

Can someone explain me how this REALLY works?

Thanks alot!

Just register two separate instances of the same class and use different registry names. Vanilla does this a lot, check the Blocks class.

Hi

 

You could try looking at some of the examples in this example mod

eg mbe03 which uses one model and multiple textures

The 1.14.4 version is on this branch:

thank you! Now I understood how registering works and how json is "linked" with class
