Help with directional block textures

[FlyingPerson23]

I'm trying to make a machine. The sides, top, and bottom should all have the same texture, and the front should have its own texture. The front should be determined by the placer's orientation. I've tried everything I can for this, and I can only get it to put the front on the north side. The machine has an inventory so I can't extend anything other than BlockContainer. 

 

Currently, this is what I have:

Block class - https://pastebin.com/KS6v6vF8

Blockstate file - https://pastebin.com/Gf6MrpLz

Model file - https://pastebin.com/pRXXfYRV - This model is the one for north. I have 4 model files for each direction (neutronn, neutrons, neutrone, neutronw), each with neutron_front on its respective side.

 

I've tried everything I could find online for this, and followed all the tutorials I found, none of them worked. Please help.

Hi

Have you seen this tutorial example?

https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/MinecraftByExample

mbe03 has a block that can be placed in one of four different directions.

 

The code you're using looks like it's from old versions of Forge, when blocks used to have integer metadata.  That's not true anymore.

 

Cheers

  TGG

1.12.2 is no longer supported on this forum. Please update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support. For more information on this please read the LTS at the top of the page.
