In 1.21.4 items changed their format of being set up to load in-game with (e.g.) custom model data.
It would be absolutely insane to have something similar for blocks to redo the blockstates data.
Block Data Folder
The folder would be /assets/minecraft/blocks/ (similar to the items folder being /assets/minecraft/items/).
Block Data
I would imagine some JSON for a new tag called "block_data" like the following:
{
"model": {
"type": "range_dispatch",
"property": "block_data",
"entries": [
{"threshold": "test_block", "model": { "type": "model", "model": "custom:blocks/test_slab"}, "hitbox": { "type": "minecraft:slab", "half": "top"}},
{"threshold": "test_stairs", "model": { "type": "model", "model": "custom:blocks/test_stairs"}, "hitbox": { "type": "minecraft:stairs", "facing": "east"}},
{"threshold": "test_fence", "model": { "type": "model", "model": "custom:blocks/test_fence"}, "hitbox": { "type": "minecraft:fence", "south": "true", "east": "false"}}
],
"fallback": {
"type": "model",
"model": "minecraft:block/stone"
}
}
}
The "threshold" would be similar to the "custom_model_data" for items, being able to enter floats, flags or strings. The "Hitbox" tag would define a selected hitbox for this certain blockdata, you can then specify the rotation or such for the hitbox using the actual blockdata tags. For example the "facing" tag for stairs to determine a specific hitbox rotation.
