How do you create a block that does the same rotation as the End Rod ?

[pure moat]

Hello, I'm looking for a way to create a block that does all the rotations like the End Rod, and I've figured out how to rotate horizontally but not vertically. Can you please help me? (1.20.1)

I don't have an example for a block which can face all 6 directions, but I do have an example of a block that can be placed like a log (i.e. 3 directions, one for each axis), and we might be able to jury-rig that

Let me grab it for you

event.create('bismuth_pillar').material('heavy_metal').hardness(5.0).resistance(6.0).tagBlock('minecraft:mineable/pickaxe').tagBlock('minecraft:needs_stone_tool').requiresTool(true).displayName('Bismuth Pillar').property(BlockProperties.AXIS).placementState(event => event.set(BlockProperties.AXIS, event.clickedFace.axis)).model('kubejs:block/bismuth_pillar').blockstateJson = {
  "variants": {
    "axis=x": {
      "model": "kubejs:block/bismuth_pillar",
      "x": 90,
      "y": 90
    },
    "axis=y": {
      "model": "kubejs:block/bismuth_pillar"
    },
    "axis=z": {
      "model": "kubejs:block/bismuth_pillar",
      "x": 90
    }
  }
}```

The bits which make directional placement work in this case are the .property(), .placementState(), and .model() functions, plus the .blockstateJson variable

I'm gonna do a little testing on my end to figure out what the property used by End Rods is called, and see if I can figure it out from there

Alright, the property used by End Rods is called "facing", with its states being "north", "east", "south", "west", "up", and "down"

If I'm understanding everything here correctly, then, you should be able to get directional placement working by replacing your current event.create() call with something like this:

event.create("your_block_id")/*Use this space for assorted block setup functions, like .material(), .hardness(), etc.*/.property(BlockProperties.FACING).placementState(event => event.set(BlockProperties.FACING, event.clickedFace)).model("kubejs:block/your_block_model").blockstateJson = {
  "variants": {
    "facing=north": {
      "model": "kubejs:block/your_block_model",
      "x": 90
    },
    "facing=east": {
      "model": "kubejs:block/your_block_model",
      "x": 90,
      "y": 90
    },
    "facing=south": {
      "model": "kubejs:block/your_block_model",
      "x": 90,
      "y": 180
    },
    "facing=west": {
      "model": "kubejs:block/your_block_model",
      "x": 90,
      "y": 270
    },
    "facing=up": {
      "model": "kubejs:block/your_block_model"
    },
    "facing=down": {
      "model": "kubejs:block/your_block_model",
      "x": 180
    }
  }
}```

Just make sure you fill in the "your_block_model" spots with the name of your block model file (minus the ".json"), and that should start working once you boot/reboot the game

If not, shoot me a ping

@maiden wing
It works, thank you! Is there any way it can also rotate the HitBox?

[maiden wing]

Ahh, yeah, that bit did slip my mind

Well, I'm less familiar with that, admittedly

I know how you set up a custom hitbox, through .fullBlock(false) and a bunch of .box() calls, but I don't have any examples to work from for how to set up .box() calls to depend on the block's properties
