How do I add multiple textures (Like top, bottom, side, etc.) to a block with only one texture (Such as planks, dirt, etc.)?

Assigning Textures

In your blocks.json in the top of the directory (i.e. myresourcepack/blocks.json) have the block texture defined with these. Example blocks.json with a furnace:

{ "furnace" : { "sound" : "stone", "textures" : { "down" : "furnace_top", "east" : "furnace_side", "north" : "furnace_side", "south" : "furnace_front_off", "up" : "furnace_top", "west" : "furnace_side" } }
}

• furnace - ID of block
• furnace_top, furnace_side... - Name you registered the texture under
• stone - The sound. Name the sound is registered under (optional)

Registering Textures

The different sides should point to a registered texture. If you don't know how to register textures, here is an example:

Have a file named terrain_texture.json. The file path should be: myresourcepack/textures/terrain_texture.json. Inside the file, have this:

{ "num_mip_levels" : 4, "padding" : 8, "resource_pack_name" : "vanilla", "texture_data" : { "acacia_planks" : { "textures" : "textures/blocks/planks_acacia" } }
}

In that example, we defined a texture called acacia_planks with the file path to the actual image textures/blocks/planks_acacia. This points to the planks_acacia file in our myresourcepack/textures/blocks/planks_acacia.png; the .png is implied.

• acacia_planks - Whatever you want to name the texture
• planks_acacia - The name of the PNG file in blocks/, omit the .png
• As for the mip, padding, pack name, etc. I couldn't tell you what anything does - just copy & paste that in
