tal lgrass

same thing for all textures

im writing an example for ye

consensus though, for twisted vines, you'd add twisting_vines.json at assets/minecraft/blockstates/twisting_vines.json
and it would contain this:

{
    "variants": {
        "": [
            { "model": "block/twisting_vines" },
            { "model": "block/twisting_vines2" }
        ]
    }
}```

you would need to add this additional file twisting_vines2.json at assets/minecraft/models/block/twisting_vines2.json:

{
  "parent": "minecraft:block/cross",
  "textures": {
    "cross": "minecraft:block/twisting_vines2"
  }
}```

and then you would put your second texture for twisting_vines named as twisting_vines2.png at assets/minecraft/textures/block/twisting_vines.png

oh actually, tall_grass is a bit different

assets/minecraft/blockstates/tall_grass.json:

{
  "variants": {
    "half=lower": {
      "model": "minecraft:block/tall_grass_bottom"
    },
    "half=upper": {
      "model": "minecraft:block/tall_grass_top"
    }
  }
}

would be something like this:

{
  "variants": {
    "half=lower": [
      { "model": "minecraft:block/tall_grass_bottom" },
      { "model": "minecraft:block/tall_grass_bottom2" }
    ],
    "half=upper": [
      { "model": "minecraft:block/tall_grass_top" },
      { "model": "minecraft:block/tall_grass_top2" }
    ]
  }
}```

youd still need to add tall_grass_bottom2.json to assets/minecraft/models/block/tall_grass_bottom2.json similar to the first example though

basically youd turn the model object into an array of objects and add the extra model file + texture file

Having looked that up again now though and understanding it more than i did before, I'm seeing now that you can actually rotate the variance on the X and Y Axis, that might be cool for randomizing the ores textures :D imma try that

it worked;
this was the blockstate i used for this result:

{
  "variants": {
    "": [
      { "model": "block/diamond_ore"},
      { "model": "block/diamond_ore", "y": 90},
      { "model": "block/diamond_ore", "y": 180},
      { "model": "block/diamond_ore", "y": 270}
    ]
  }
}

neat, thanks for the idea lol
