Is there any way I can set a block to use an already existing model in Minecraft (that isn't provided as a block base by MCreator)?
For example, suppose I wanted to create a new type of metal bars block for my mod (i.e. a block that looks and acts like the vanilla iron bars). Is there any way of doing so without having to create new models that look identical to the vanilla bars (and also the procedures to make the bars connect to other blocks correctly), or is that really the only way?
I should mention I'm currently using MCreator 2025.3 and am trying to make a mod for Java Edition of Minecraft.
Some block models (such as panes/bars, slabs, stairs, fences, and doors) are available through the block base option. Others, like the anvil, I don't think are easily usable.
