I am quite new to MCreator, and I want to make a few custom pottery sherds for my current project. I don't really know how they work, though, and they are not mentioned in the item creation element. Is this possible using just the element, and if so, how would I do it?
I think the only way to do it would be really hard, because you'd have to make blocks and recipes for every single combination.
So there isn't a system in the game that bypasses this? Given how many pottery sherds there are in vanilla I imagine there would be something... I can't see Mojang independently coding at least a hundred different combinations, they probably have some means of applying textures to the decorative pot depending on the sherds used. I just don't know how it would work.
The game does generate the combinations automatically (textures are applied to each face), BUT the sherds are hard coded, and there is no easy way to make new ones. If you really want to add new sherds, I recommend using an API like this:
