Block Templates allow for the easy creation of stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, buttons, walls, panes and pressure plates just by supplying a base block and a path to a texture.
Currently available template classes:
StairsBlockTemplate(Identifier identifier, Block baseBlock, Identifier texture)
SlabBlockTemplate(Identifier identifier, Block baseBlock, Identifier texture)
FenceBlockTemplate(Identifier identifier, Block baseBlock, Identifier texture)
ButtonBlockTemplate(Identifier identifier, Block baseBlock, Identifier texture)
WallBlockTemplate(Identifier identifier, Block baseBlock, Identifier texture)
PaneBlockTemplate(Identifier identifier, Block baseBlock, Identifier texture)
PressurePlateBlockTemplate(Identifier identifier, Block baseBlock, PressurePlateActivationRule activationRule, Identifier texture)
Using the templates
To use these templates, place the texture you want to use in resources/assets/<modid>/stationapi/textures/ and then in your BlockRegistryEvent listener instantiate the class of the template you want to use, like this:
public static Block tntStairs;
@EventListener
public void registerBlock(BlockRegistryEvent event) {
tntStairs = new StairsBlockTemplate(NAMESPACE.id("tnt_stairs"), Block.TNT, Identifier.of("modid:block/my_texture")).setTranslationKey(NAMESPACE, "tnt_stairs").setHardness(0.5F);
}Parameters:
identifier - This is the identifier of the block
baseBlock - This is the block that the template will take some properties like material from
texture - The identifier of the texture. This is a path to your texture, in this case the texture is in resources/assets/modid/stationapi/textures/block/my_texture.png
