Now it works just had the change the

(pos, state.with(AGE, Integer.valueOf(2)), 3); to (pos, state.with(STATE, Integer.valueOf(2)), 3);

Another question is what does the 3 in (pos, state.with(AGE, Integer.valueOf(2)), 3); do?

Great tutorial!! But i have some errors, it all works all right exept the texture, the bock has the error texture (pink and black tiles).

I think the error occurs in the blockstate. (I am on the lastest snapshot)

Does this work for 1.16.5?

I tried to get it to work with a custom block model, and it seemed to just break it. Granted, I didn't perfectly follow the tutorial, I made some minor changes, such as changing the STATE type to be AGE_0_2, because I only had three blockstates, and instead of changing the "facing=x" variations to be "age=x" variations in the blockstates JSON file, I changed it to be similar to how buttons work, adding in a "facing=north,age=0", "facing=north,age=1", "facing=north,age=2", "facing=east,age=0", etc. so that way I could have it face different directions and have different age-states, but I might have done that wrong as well.
Here are the JSON and Java files for inspection. If you need the workspace, I can export that as well, but it's a fairly large one.

Ok, I just tested changing the Blockstate JSON to not take into account the direction it's facing, and it seems to work flawlessly, just without a directional difference, which is a pity. So clearly, something in that file is what was breaking it.

Ok, looking at the decompressed 1.16.5 files, I can see that what I want to copy is the Cocoa Bean Pod blockstate setup. It seems that maybe what caused the error was that I had to have the blockstates defined as "age=x,facing=x" instead of "facing=x,age=x". I'll follow up after some testing.

Mon, 05/31/2021 - 22:56

Alright, it worked! So if anyone wants to be able to have multiple blockstates and have it face multiple directions, you're going to want to use a variation of this code for the blockstate JSON file:
 

{
  "variants": {
    "age=0,facing=east": {
        "model": "vftweaks:block/spinning_wheel",
        "y": 90
    },
    "age=0,facing=north": {
        "model": "vftweaks:block/spinning_wheel"
    },
    "age=0,facing=south": {
      "model": "vftweaks:block/spinning_wheel",
      "y": 180
    },
    "age=0,facing=west": {
      "model": "vftweaks:block/spinning_wheel",
      "y": 270
    },
    "age=1,facing=east": {
      "model": "vftweaks:block/spinning_wheel_state1",
      "y": 90
    },
    "age=1,facing=north": {
      "model": "vftweaks:block/spinning_wheel_state1"
    },

Ok thx Cyndi4U it seems to work now but theres just one catch my block has 5 Blockstates but the closest I can select is

BlockStateProperties.AGE_0_5;

but I need a AGE_0_4 I`m going to make another block later on that will have 100 but you can only select up to AGE_0_25 so how can you "add" more blockstates or can I make 2 variables that use 5 Blockstates each + 4 Directions meaning 4*5*5 = 100 and in the JSON write something like "age1=0,age2=0,facing=east" ??

I'm... Not entirely sure what you're asking of me, but you can actually just use AGE_0_5, but never use the sixth age state.
If you need 100 blockstates, then yes, I would think you could just combine AGE_0_25 with the four directions, as 26*4 is 104, and then just not use the last four states (don't use age=25).
