CUBES
Adds various cubes that you can have as items. They don't really do anything.
But they look cool
Give yourself a cube:
/give @p minecraft:acacia_boat[item_model="cubes:aqua_bordered"]
Cube colors:
aquablackbluedark_aquadark_bluedark_graydark_greendark_purpledark_redgoldgraygreenlight_purpleredwhiteyellow
You can also add _bordered to the end of any color to get a cube with a border.
All borders are white except for the white_bordered cube, which has a black border.
I provide the main 16 chat colors as usable textures. Feel free to add your own.
Adding a custom cube:
- Unzip the pack
- Go to the
assets/cubes/models/blockfolder - Create a new file. Name it whatever you like, just make sure it ends in ".json"
- Copy the following code:
{ "format_version": "1.21.11", "credit": "Made with Blockbench", "parent": "cubes:block/cube_bordered", "textures": { "border": "cubes:block/<color>", "color": "cubes:block/<color>" } } - Edit the file (use notepad, vscode, whatever)
Paste the copied code and make the following changes:
Set"parent"to either"cubes:block/cube"or"cubes:block/cube_bordered"
If you aren't making a bordered cube, remove the line with"border"in it.
Then, replace both instances of<color>with any of the named chat colors. Use the Minecraft Wiki if you don't know them.
Now, save and close the file - Next, go to the
assets/cubes/itemsfolder - Create a file with the SAME NAME as the file you made in step 3.
- Copy the following code:
{ "model": { "type": "minecraft:model", "model": "cubes:block/<file>" } } - Replace
<file>with the EXACT name of the file you created in step 3, but without ".json" at the end. - Save and close the file
- Enjoy your custom cube!
Adding a custom color
- Go to your favorite image editer (I like https://piskelapp.com).
- Create a new 16x16 image, and color the entire thing with one solid color.
- Save the photo as a png and put it into the
assets/cubes/textures/blockfolder. - Use the name of the photo without ".png" to replace
<color>in any new cube you make. (You can also add a design to the texture, but it will apply the texture to all sides of the block.)
