[VIDEO TUTORIAL] - Log-like Block Rotation

Hey guys!
I have created a short video about making a block rotate like logs/pillars, so if you are interested, you can check it HERE.

BlockLog has always as material wood, so you can not change it. You have to either replace super(Material.WOOD); by super(); or extend BlockRotatedPillar instead.

Oh, I see now what you mean. The problem is not actually even in the block itself but in the structure. The MCreator code gets the default state from the log block, which is the one rotated along X-axis, but for trees, you almost always want Y-axis. One way to fix it should be replacing getDefaultState()  (that hopefully is somewhere in the code) with getStateFromMeta(0) in the code of the tree. You might possibly need to replace 0 with number 0 - 3, but at the end, that should do the trick.

I have already done a video about the 4-directional rotation, a few years ago, but I guess it is somehow outdated these days. Basically, the easiest approach is extending BlockHorizontal and then overriding several methods (the same that I had overridden in an example in some comment under the video). The .json file itself is pretty much the same as it was in the video.
