Directional Blocks
Warning
Creating directional blocks will occupy 4 or 6 slots per block. This happens because each direction is a different block.
There is no way to bypass that. It's a limitation of the game and any other content creation plugin would have this limitation. You should not abuse directional blocks because they quickly will saturate your custom blocks usages.

Act like a vanilla log and a dropper at the same time.

Mode DROPPER
DROPPER
Acts like the vanilla dropper.
In this particular case I decided to overwrite the automatically generated directional blocks up
and down
to customize the appearance of the block in this particular case, setting a different texture for the north
face (front).
In the screenshot you can see the face texture is different.

Manually create models
ItemsAdder automatically rotates your base block model, but you can provide your custom variants of the models for each rotation, to enhance the customization.
In my example I did that to customize the model of the DROPPER
example when placed down
or up
.
To do that you have to append the _<face>
text after the id of your custom block.
Accepted faces are:
north
east
south
west
up
down
In my example I used directional_block_dropper_up
(_up
) and directional_block_dropper_down
(_down
) for the block directional_block_dropper
.
