Amazing and really helpful video - I wouldn't be able to do it without you... however, I want to do this with oak logs which is, obviously, a block that is not the same on all sides... so would the process be too different and what would I have to change to make the variating textures on the side of the logs work?

[@ArtsByKev]

You can define however many models you want to states. If you unpack the version .jar deep within in your Minecraft folder - you can look at the actual vanilla blockstates in each .json file. Variating sides would be best accomplished with a parent model of the ends, and then model variations adding the sides.

[@leocilliers4346]

Do you maybe know a way to change the state on_interact?

[@BroozerCA]

Hi, just wanted to ask about and issue I'm having. My blockstate textures are working but once a block is place then broken and place again in the same spot the random texture will never change from the first time it is place. So if I keep placing and breaking it doesn't randomize but if I place a block somewhere else it will but only the first time place. Sorry if that sounded confusing.

[@ArtsByKev]

Correct, that's how blockstates works. They are bound to the world seed - so while you can make a bunch of random models for a state, every world block location will have a unique ID that correlates to a specific model - which you cannot change, and it will only ever show that 1 model there in that block location. I can't remember if I declared that in the video or not

[@kkirgb]

How would you be able to do this for blocks like amethyst cluster or other block states that are very confusing

[@ArtsByKev]

If you locate the version .jar file and unpack it, you can see the full structure of those blocks as vanilla. And then work from there. But several blocks have facing directions that can be hard coded into the blockstate

[@florentinhonorius613]

what if i have different textures for each sides of block? how can i apply this too?

All you do is to make a .json that goes into a folder of your resource pack named "blockstates". In the file you define what model it uses. {"variants": "":[{"model": "minecraft:your_model_folder/your_model"}]}

[@Bako751]

I have a few questions, I hope you still answer them on this video. Can these be changed in game via the debug stick? Also how many textures can you add to one block? Say I had a bunch of textures of like bricks, planks, or any texture I make that could be useful. Can I just apply them to something like a sponge block, then change them via a debug stick? And if so, is there a way where i can make it to where only the original texture shows up when placed unless I update it with a debug stick?

[@ArtsByKev]

Blockstates are actually hard generated (given a specific value on each block tile). This means that every time you place a block with multiple textures/models on a coordinate, it will always show the same. Noteblocks and Mushroom are different that way since they contain multiple variants of states (mushroom its connections, and noteblocks its note height). They are soley among the few debug-stick able blocks for this case.

I've run into a slight roadblock if you wouldn't mind helping me out. So I'm editing the texture of a slab, and I'm making a check to see if it's doubled AND waterlogged. So far I've been able to target it, but that specific blockstate comes out as the all_block model with a missing texture (even though it's a custom model and texture). So my problem is, I've isolated it, but for some reason I can't seem to change anything about it? It's not the file as I've been able to change the other blockstate's resulting models. Here's the code snippet with a placeholder model "type=double,waterlogged=true": { "model": "minecraft:block/glowstone" }

[@ArtsByKev]

All block + missing texture = broken / missing / incorrectly formatted model. Check the recent video on the channel.

[@ISamAtlas]

@@ArtsByKev Yep, already did. It even worked when I edited the top slab's model that uses one blockstate, it's just when I try to edit two blockstates at once it breaks. Not even minecraft's default model's work. Nevermind it's alright, I found a work around. Thanks for trying though!

[@ruohonleikkaaja]

I'm having a problem. First of all, I'm not a beginner in working with the .JSON folders of blockstates and models. I'm familiar with what the code does and I have a basic understanding of what the formatting should look like. Even though I think I'm doing everything right I went through the video with you guiding where to put 1 and where to put 2, which brackets to use and all that. I have three textures in the "block" folder: stone_bricks, stone_bricks1 and stone_bricks2. For those blocks I have created corresponding model files all without missing letters or any improper formatting. I'm certain my models and textures are all done properly. The problem has to be in the blockstates folder. Now for the actual issue: when I load up the resource pack in game and refresh, it only shows the stone_bricks texture while 1 and 2 have the notorious purple and black texture. I for the sake of my sanity can't figure out where the broken link is and am frustrated with this problem. I have all that the game needs to use for the custom model but it just doesn't want to use the other 2 textures. Can you help me?

I love that this video is so easy to follow! I've successfully set up several blocks with variants, but I'm having trouble with others. For instance, I did four variations for the dead bush, if I add any rotation or weight values it always "breaks" the texture and I end up with the purple and black default block. Any help on this? Is it because the parent is block/cross?

[@ArtsByKev]

Nopes. But Optifine packs can do some fun things

[@senyslowly2653]

hey could you bring it to bedrock?

[@akplayzgamer62]

Do this work on bedrock?

[@NCPBails]

how would I do this for a block with multiple states, such as a slab that has 3 possible models

[@ArtsByKev]

There are checks for each verison, if you unzip the version.jar file in your Minecraft appdata folders you can see the vanilla files

[@NCPBails]

@@ArtsByKev i dont beleive that there are any slabs that have random textures that i could use as a reference

[@ArtsByKev]

Fair, but the system is the same as for reg. blocks, you're just duping the format.

[@NCPBails]

@@ArtsByKev how would you do so? I’ve tried making arrays in types, types in arrays, and arrays of types and I haven’t been able to get it to work

[@ArtsByKev]

I may have to do a video to show it.. or make a compendium 🙈

[@jamesebey5432]

I have followed every step of this several times. Everything works except for the alternating textures. Getting really frustrated. Please reach out if you can or are willing to help

[@ArtsByKev]

Check in on our discord and locate the help section! Easier to help if you can show

[@valynazvalkynaz5375]

I know this might sound stupid but does this also work for bedrock?

[@ArtsByKev]

Sadly, no

[@valynazvalkynaz5375]

@ArtsByKev darn it. I know this may sound like a dumb question, but do you have any videos on how to do it for bedrock currently or no?

[@menindark761]

Can i do this with my bedrock edition mcpe

[@ArtsByKev]

Na, look up the Block Wizard.

[@Wojki10thousand]

that really cool, that mc have it baseline :v

[@KyloRenmcgoo]

Does this work for only blocks that can already have variants? I'm trying to do this with 3 additional textures for cyan terracotta and none of the alternate textures ever show up Edit: Just launched the game without Optifine and it now seems to work as intended. Anybody have a clue as to which Optifine settings would cause the this not to work?

[@ArtsByKev]

Optifine has two settings that might conflict.. Random Textures And Connected Textures

[@KyloRenmcgoo]

@@ArtsByKev Thanks, this seems to have fixed the problem. For future reference, I had to enable “Alternate Blocks” under the Details tab. Thanks for the super helpful tutorial!

[@ArtsByKev]

Yes, that's the one! The OF control system i meant with random blocks 😅

[@RusLanSPDtzy]

For minecraft Bedrock?

[@nsxfever9513]

What if say you wanted a block with the brick texture to also have a cracked brick texture and a mossy brick texture but did not want it to be random? You want to have 3 diff brick blocks with 3 diff textures on them. Not random like in the video.

[@ArtsByKev]

You'd use a block with several orientation states (e.g. the glazed terracotta), and set it up to depending on orientation placed showing a/b/c

[@nsxfever9513]

@@ArtsByKev Thank you for the info 🙏. So if I understand you correctly you would actually need to use 3 diff blocks to have what I was looking for. Diff orientation states is not what I was thinking. Sounds like you would have to replace 3 blocks already in game with a new texture variation on each block.

[@ArtsByKev]

Yep. And the rotation was only an example towards a block with many reuseable states 😊

[@nsxfever9513]

@@ArtsByKev As always you are full of great info. Thanks again 👍

[@ArtsByKev]

No worries! ☺

[@kachna5395]

In the description you said: " To see your updates while playing Minecraft, all you have to do is to press F3 + T and your game will reload the texturepack instantly." But I cannot change the pack becase it is being used by the game.. Is there a way to fix it?

[@ArtsByKev]

Change? 🤔 Oh, you're using a promted server rp? Then you'd need some kind of /grap resource pack - command.

[@kachna5395]

@@ArtsByKev I have no idea what promted server rp means. It is so nice to see you caring about the comments 7 months after the video is posted.

[@ArtsByKev]

I try to! 😄 Prompted means that you are using the RP the server is sending you when you join. That RP will always be prioritized

[@kachna5395]

@@ArtsByKev Ok I'll try google something up now when I know what causes it.

[@stellardestinyoliver8593]

i want to know if this works on mcpe too because i really want to try it :D ❤

[@ArtsByKev]

It kinda does, sorta, but the process is a lot more complicated and non intuitive 🤣

[@AloanMoreira1]

this is for bedrock only, right?

[@ArtsByKev]

Java, only

Does this work on 1.17?
