From 1.8+ Minecraft changed
Thu, 11/10/2016 - 15:04

From 1.8+ Minecraft changed model system from using .java models to .json. The new system should be more performance efficient + easier to edit. Howewer there are still few blocks that uses the .java model - Chests, Skull , Sign,Banner,Piston,Enchantment Table ,End Portal and Mob Spawner.
These blocks have TileEntities. TileEntity can use TESR (TileEntitySpecialRenderer). TESR use .java model.
BUT common blocks that are in world in big quantities should not have TileEntity. TileEntity stores extra informations like inventory in chest so else better would be use some .java to .json convertor.

i really want to start making
Thu, 11/10/2016 - 15:29

i really want to start making my own blocks and i was thinking of buying cubix so i could export as obj or json but unless i can go from exporting in cubix pro and importing into MCreator and just hitting next until the block is made and then testing it and seeing the block and the texture correctly i would just be wasting my money.

is that something that i can do or can i not even use cubix anymore if i want to use the 1.10.2 version?

 

thanks

@#3 when you make it with that do you just click on import then select the texture and your done or do you have to alter files or anything?
