Simple Lamp help please
Wed, 12/31/2025 - 15:42 (edited)

I need some help to make a procedure for when you right click a block, it changes to a "turned on" version

I would also love for someone to tell me how to make a storage block like a chest that you can open

 

I am unsure how to do it, I've already make both textures for the on and off version now i just need to swap between the two

 

Any help is welcomed!

Right now, you will need to make two blocks and swap to another block on block right click.

To learn how to do this, I suggest you check our tutorials collection playlist on our YouTube channel, which contains many examples and tutorials that can help you get started with MCreator: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAeL-oIFIEngE6jRgFYeFMfuj8WQsO3Ei

In the future (next update actually), we will support proper block states, which will allow you to control lightness of a block based on its block state

There is a block that looks like a minecraft slot i think it's a yellow one with grey slot, click it and you'll see the list of blocks, including modded. It also has a tiny block symbol next to the slot.

You can also use Nerdy's Blockstate Plugin or use custom code for more customization like the blockstate name.
