I want to make an ENUM blockstate for a block, however, I get an error:

How can I set properties for a state?

Hello! You may have…

Hello! You may have experienced the same problem that I have. I followed this tutorial, https://mcreator.net/forum/87289/tutorial-20221-1182-change-block-modeltexture-ingame, but changed everything related to integer properties to enum. I received the cannot find symbol error and found out thanks to ChatGPT that the enum had to be written this way: 

import net.minecraft.util.StringRepresentable;

public enum TileLogicProcedure implements StringRepresentable{

		ONE("one"), 
		TWO("two"), 
		THREE("three"), 
		FOUR("four"); 


		private final String name;
		private TileLogicProcedure(String name) {
			this.name = name;
			}

		@Override
		public String getSerializedName() {
			return name;
		}
}

Link to a post I made where I had this problem, but later found the solution: https://mcreator.net/forum/99492/block-enum-property-issue.

I hope this helped!
