Making Modded Block Emit Redstone Power

I figured out how to make a MCreator block emit redstone power, and as there was nothing on the forums or the YouTube tutorial list, I thought I would share what I found.

1) Create the block in MCreator. Make sure that all the features of the block except for the redstone output are as you want them, because after this step there is no way to change them.

2) Lock the code for the block and open up the code for the block in the built in text editor for the block's Java file.

3) insert the code shown below into the code underneath the block's constructor. (The constructor looks like this: public CustomBlock() {        } )

          public boolean canProvidePower(BlockState state) {
              return true;
           }
    
           public int getWeakPower(BlockState blockState, IBlockReader blockAccess, BlockPos pos, Direction side) {
              return 15;
           }

That's it! The block should now emit a redstone power level of 15 on all sides.
