I have a bench that takes up a single 16x16 space and I want the geometry to change when I place a second single bench next to it so they look connected. Right now I have custom blocks that are the left and right side (and the single one) but I dont want to have 3 separate blocks in the game/creative menu/crafting recipes. I just want the one bench that if placed near other works kind of like how fences work. How do I do this?

Thanks for asking your question!

Once you have finished, please close your thread.

Also the texture will need to change as well.

You will need parts_visibility and tags. If you do a discord search in the blocks channel for "minecraft:part_visibility" use in:#blocks "minecraft:part_visibility"it will bring up a lot of examples and convos and should be some sample add_on or 2...

Connected Blocks?

#

@true talon I’ve done a search in blocks and I understand part visibility a little better but I am not very experienced with writing code. I basically can follow tutorials and that’s it. I need a closer example of what I am trying to do written out.

I found one conversation about how to make a block like iron bars but I still don’t understand how to do this on my own. Sorry, I am am still a beginner and need more help :/

Then you may need to work your way to this level via making simple blocks and understanding what you are doing enough to experiment.

it is like being in Algebra one and asking how to solve calculus problems.

#

There are some who will do it for you and just hand you code to use without you understanding anything. I cannot do that. I can only help you learn to understand. That is my suggestion.

I can make simple blocks and I know what all of the components do. But this is a much more complex block and I cannot find a tutorial anywhere on what I am trying to do. If you know how I don’t see why you cannot teach me or explain. I thought that was what #1019665628946247761 was quite literally for.

#

@true talon

#

I am willing to learn. The other user i mentioned pasted their code with no explanation of what each part does. I don’t know how to “work my way up” if no one is willing to help along the way.

Have you made your model in blockbench yet?

#

Or just for practice, make anything one part, you want to be able to hide and bring out.

For something simple, you will need at least 2 cubes (or a set of cubes to group together, one for hiding), right. each cube (or set of cubes) will need to be in it's own group/folder. Rename the folders.. part_a and part_b....

let me know when your test model is ready.

Oh I was just looking in #old-blocks and saw that you got help on that part.. so nevermind.
