How do I add multiple textures (Like top, bottom, side, etc.) to a block with only one texture (Such as planks, dirt, etc.)?

Assigning Textures

In your blocks.json in the top of the directory (i.e. myresourcepack/blocks.json) have the block texture defined with these. Example blocks.json with a furnace:

{ "furnace" : { "sound" : "stone", "textures" : { "down" : "furnace_top", "east" : "furnace_side", "north" : "furnace_side", "south" : "furnace_front_off", "up" : "furnace_top", "west" : "furnace_side" } } }
  • furnace - ID of block
  • furnace_top, furnace_side... - Name you registered the texture under
  • stone - The sound. Name the sound is registered under (optional)

Registering Textures

The different sides should point to a registered texture. If you don't know how to register textures, here is an example:

Have a file named terrain_texture.json. The file path should be: myresourcepack/textures/terrain_texture.json. Inside the file, have this:

{ "num_mip_levels" : 4, "padding" : 8, "resource_pack_name" : "vanilla", "texture_data" : { "acacia_planks" : { "textures" : "textures/blocks/planks_acacia" } } }

In that example, we defined a texture called acacia_planks with the file path to the actual image textures/blocks/planks_acacia. This points to the planks_acacia file in our myresourcepack/textures/blocks/planks_acacia.png; the .png is implied.

  • acacia_planks - Whatever you want to name the texture
  • planks_acacia - The name of the PNG file in blocks/, omit the .png
  • As for the mip, padding, pack name, etc. I couldn't tell you what anything does - just copy & paste that in

  • So, for example, if I wanted to add a different top to a dirt block, I would just edit blocks.json? Commented Dec 22, 2020 at 20:48
  • No, you would have to register the new texture in terrain_texture.json then make a blocks.json for it Commented Dec 22, 2020 at 21:54
  • Can you link to an example pack answering the question "Add multiple textures to a one-texture block?" Commented Dec 24, 2020 at 23:07
  • @EmojiMaker Here is a tutorial you may find helpful: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/… It explains how to apply the different textures to each face of the block. Commented Jun 20, 2024 at 17:16
