@#13

I literally copied the code from the youtube video description, pasted it into microsoft office Word and had it replace all instance of "Chair" with "SmokyquartzPillar" (the name of the mod block I want to rotate) and pasted it into the code immediately after the last line that started with the word "input"

@Override

return getDefaultState().withProperty(FACING, EnumFacing.SOUTH);
}

@Override
public IBlockState getStateFromMeta(int meta) {
EnumFacing facing = EnumFacing.getFront(meta);

@Nuparu00 

Were you able to determine if the problem was just a missing bracket?

Sure lots of ppl need this 4 their mods.

@#14 I think the problem might be that the code was copied from youtube, as youtube likes to put in random invisible characters.

@#14.1

I copied it into microsoft office word first, then changed the block name, and then put it into the code source. I did not see any random characters show up. If they are there, how do I get rid of them?

@#14.1.1 The only way I know how is pasting the code into a command block, removing the characters that look like a bunch of numbers in a box, and copying it again.

That could very well be the problem. I did not notic that there were 2 codes there. Duh! I feel stupid now. Thanks for all the help though.

It worked for me, very helpfull ;) but is there a way to rotate the collider also in players direction? the model rotates but not the collider :/

can you pls write a description how to do that? or a video tutorial? this would be great :)
