[SOLVED!] [1.15.2] - Custom Walls Aren't Connecting to each other

[ModMCdl]

Hello, I am attempting to create a custom wall type for my mod. The model and blockstates work however, they do not connect to each other. They do connect to other valid blocks, including ones from my mod. I've looked it over, and I'm not quite sure where I'm going wrong.

 

My block register in my ModBlocks class (VoidaicBlocks)

    public static final RegistryObject<Block> VOIDSTONE_WALL = BLOCKS.register("voidstone_wall", () -> new WallBlock(Block.Properties.from(VoidaicBlocks.VOIDSTONE.get())));

 

 

My walls.json tag in data/modid/tags/block

{
  "replace": false,
  "values": [
    "voidaicearth:voidstone_wall"
  ]
}

 

Attached is how they currently work in-game:

I believe you need to put your walls.json in data/minecraft/tags/blocks

The "replace": value in the vanilla default walls.json file is false, so it should recognize my own tag file over its own. It also won't let me add/edit files in the minecraft jar either way.

In your development environment, /data/minecraft/tags/blocks add your walls AND what minecraft has in their JSON. I had a similar problem and, this fixed it.

MadHatAK is correct that you create data/minecraft/tags/blocks in your resources folder and add it there.

That's how datapacks override vanilla stuff.

Making a walls tag in your mod just creates your own walls tag with only your walls in it.

Aha, so this worked! Now my only concern is that if another mod has a walls.json tag, if they use this same method will it override my own, since my "replace": tag is also false? Or am I safe?

As far as I know unless things start setting replace to true everything should play nice
