Crafter blockshape

[fierce cliff]

Does anyone know what blockshape a crafter uses? I want to see if its possible to make a better directional dropper pack

[earnest sluice]

I think the crafter just uses the basic cube

[lyric zephyr]

I am also make you are thinking I am not finding any place I think block shape is (crafter)

What did you make tweak or better survival texture pack

[fierce cliff]

I think I tried that with no results

[lyric zephyr]

Okk

Let's research for crafter block

[lyric zephyr]

What did you making

[fierce cliff]

Dropper and dispensers that show the direction they are facing

[earnest sluice]

Oh. You don't need a block shape for that

What you need is to use material_instances instead of blocks.json, and to have the block trait that shows rotation

I'll send an example

just give me a second

[earnest sluice]

Ok, here you go

It renders weirdly in the inventory, but I don't think there will be a fix for that until the next update

But the main way it works is that it uses the facing_direction trait to determine which direction the player was facing when placing it

Then, it rotates the block based on the value of that trait to make it face towards the player in the permutations

[fierce cliff]

ill try it out, tysm

[fierce cliff]

sorry to bother you but i cant seem to get this method to work

i even cleared my blocks.json file to only incl;ude what u sent but with not results

[earnest sluice]

Don't use blocks.json

That will make it so it can't rotare

Material instances in the bp file handles the texture

[fierce cliff]

whats the bp file

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/entity-intro-bp

this?

oh wait

is this for behavior packs only?

is this what i need?

and it sems like this wont be doable on a vanilla dropper

[tacit blade]

Crafter just uses basic block shape

(Yes I know it is linkvertise, I can't bother changing the link, but I can send you the MediaFire link if neccessary)

[earnest sluice]

@fierce cliff I meant the bp file I sent you here

[earnest sluice]

Yeah, block traits are what you need. The block I sent is an example

[earnest sluice]

Oh, you're trying to modify a vanilla block? That's not possible

Sorry, didn't realize that

Assumed you were making a custom block

[fierce cliff]

Its fine, thanks for all the help

[fierce cliff]

i dont think this will help me since im trying to make a dropper apply textures like a crafter
