Change Block texture with permutations

[loud fjord]

I have been trying to change the texture of a block with the permutations without success, I really don't understand why it doesn't work.

This is my block

But it only display the texture defined in blocks.json of the resource pack

[vernal spruce]

you need to define a render_method ever time you apply a texture

in material_instances

[glad topaz]

remove the entry in blocks.json
you don't need to define a render method - opaque is used if omitted

[loud fjord]

if i remove the entry it uses the update texture

[glad topaz]

add "minecraft:unit_cube": {} to your components (experimental)

[loud fjord]

i should still have the block entry in blocks.json?

[glad topaz]

no, only use blocks.json for sounds if you need to change the texture based on permutation

[loud fjord]

THANK YOU!

it worked

but is there any way that i cand do that without having to activate experiments?

[glad topaz]

create a custom model which looks like a full block and use it in the minecraft:geometry component

but it will be breathable and won't conduct redstone

[loud fjord]

well, it does't matter

[loud fjord]

so i should change the permutation component to change the texture?

[glad topaz]

just replace unit_cube with geometry

e.g. "minecraft:geometry": "geometry.nether_reactor_core"

[loud fjord]

hmmm, is there any way to get these variants as items?

[glad topaz]

make them separate blocks

[loud fjord]

well, thank you
