I was wondering if I can put different textures sides on a block for example "stone" or "concrete" without modding and just by editing the json files on the "models" folder. If so then I don't know what I am doing wrong. This time I'm trying to edit the "jukebox.json" this is how it looks like.

You should create a resource pack rather than editing the vanilla files directly.

The JSON model format is documented here.

Each property in the textures block defines the value of a texture name. The block/cube model uses one texture per side, with the side's name as the texture name. The up texture is displayed on the top of the block, the east texture is displayed on the east side of the block, etc.

The texture paths are in the format "<domain>:<path/to/texture>", which corresponds to assets/<domain>/textures/<path/to/texture>.png. If you don't specify a domain, it defaults to minecraft.

Hello, thanks for your reply, but maybe I think I didn't explained myself clearly, I am creating a resource pack, the thing is, in this case, I am trying to get the jukebox block to have different texture sides, so I created a jukebox.json file and put it in my resource pack "assets/minecraft/models/block".Then I put the textures png files in "assets/minecraft/textures/blocks" But I get the "texture-missing-block". I am not using Forge or any mod loader, that's why I asked if I needed a mod to accomplish this. I don't know exactly what I'm doing wrong.

There should be some errors in the log (logs/latest.log in the game directory) explaining what went wrong, upload it to Gist and link it here.

You may want to install Forge while you're working on the model, since it greatly improves the error reporting of the model loading process. If you do, upload the FML log (logs/fml-client-latest.log in the game directory) instead of the Vanilla log.

You should also upload the model file itself and post the paths of your texture files.

Okay this is my latest.log

This is the jukebox.json model file:

{
	“parent”: “block/cube”,
	“textures”: {
		“particle”: blocks/jukebox_side”,
		“up”: “blocks/jukebox_top”,
		“down”: “blocks/jukebox_side”,
		“north”: “blocks/jukebox_front”,
		“south”: “blocks/jukebox_side”,
		“east”: “blocks/jukebox_side”,
		“west”: “blocks/jukebox_side”
	}
}

What editor did you use to create this file? I ask because the quotes are "smart" quotes:

“parent”: “block/cube”,

As opposed to "regular" quotes:

"parent": "block/cube",

Notice how the latter are vertical, not slanted - this is why you want to use a basic text editor like Notepad to create json files.

Also, I noticed a couple other errors within your log - you appear to be using textures which are not a power of 2 in size (e.g. 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, etc), which, if not showing up incorrectly, is causing the game to lower the mipmap level:

[12:39:57] [Client thread/WARN]: Texture minecraft:textures/items/potion_bottle_empty.png with size 200x200 limits mip level from 4 to 3
[12:39:57] [Client thread/WARN]: Texture minecraft:textures/items/beef_cooked.png with size 100x100 limits mip level from 3 to 2

I use "textedit" basically mac's Notepad

Oops

Ok, it's solved!

The issue was the "smart quotes" on the json file.

I use Textedit, so I went to edit/substitutions and unchecked the smart quotes and then wrote the correct quotes

Thanks both of you
