Rotate block like an armorstand or banner

[JoshiWorld]

Hello,

I just wanted to ask how I can rotate any kind of block (in my case it would be a self created presentblock) in more tiny steps like for example rotate it by +45 degrees. 

Thanks to everyone helping me!

The simplest way to have a block rotate if there is no extra data is to store a blockstate on it. You can have 8 facing values where the model rotates depending on the way it's facing. The mathematics would be handled similar to that of a sign or banner if you need examples in the source.

Thanks for the answer. I guess I understood what you mean in theory. Could you post an example source in here for better understanding in praxis?

Just look at the sign or banner block and mimic.

Where can I find it?

Within the source provided when you set up the workspace? You can also find the block registry references and grab the class from there.

Alright so I got it to read now with Rotations. But how can I make the block rotate in the "blockstates.json" ?

You can also have a look at their blockstate jsons
