Yes, own carpets... that would be fantastic :-)

Is there a way to quickly reload the packs folder in game so I don't have to relaunch Minecraft whenever I make a change?

Hello,

I'm looking for some help on making blocks that use different, randomized textures upon placement. Currently, I'm using megablocks to create varied textures, but I don't like the way they are implemented to create an easily identifiable repeating pattern. I want to be able to have one block that can take on the texture of 6 variations, instead of a block that starts a connectable pattern.

Here is a short imgur album showcasing my creation vs the effect I'm trying to achieve. Is there anyway to do this without manually creating each block as a variant of each other and using Chisel? I'd love to reduce clutter and just have a blocks that can take on variants automatically.

EDIT: I just edited the imgur album to showcase another problem with megablocks. As they're one texture contained on a block register (and only split when placed in a multiblock), the entire texture is presented on the in-hand model, as well as any blocks taking textures from my megablock (such as Carpenter's Blocks).

It's obvious to me now that megablocks are not the proper implementation to what I want to achieve, but is it possible to have a singular block contain different textures and randomly choose between them? Is this possible in a connected texture block, or am I forced to create 6 different, individual variants of the blocks I want and just use Chisel?

Does anyone know the json code for adding redstone lamp blocks with this mod. I can't seem to get it to work.

This is what I'm doing:

{

{ "BlueLamp" :

{

"type" : "redstoneLamp",

"material" : "glass",

"soundType" : "glass",

"textureName" : "BlueLamp_off"

"textureName" : "BlueLamp_on" "lightValue" : 15

}

}

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Would it be possible to make DIY Decorative Blocks work with this mod:

Hello

Where is the curse link please ? The link you give is an adfly/direct download.

Is it necessary to restart the game each time you add a new block?

Unfortunately, no. Once a block is in the registry, it can't be modified.

Thanks for making this awesome mod.

I used it in my christmas adventure map which everyone should try out:
