CUBES

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:

• aqua
• black
• blue
• dark_aqua
• dark_blue
• dark_gray
• dark_green
• dark_purple
• dark_red
• gold
• gray
• green
• light_purple
• red
• white
• yellow

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:

1. Unzip the pack
2. Go to the assets/cubes/models/block folder
3. Create a new file. Name it whatever you like, just make sure it ends in ".json"
4. 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>"
       }
   }
   

5. 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
6. Next, go to the assets/cubes/items folder
7. Create a file with the SAME NAME as the file you made in step 3.
8. Copy the following code:

   {
     "model": {
       "type": "minecraft:model",
       "model": "cubes:block/<file>"
     }
   }
   

9. Replace <file> with the EXACT name of the file you created in step 3, but without ".json" at the end.
10. Save and close the file
11. Enjoy your custom cube!

Adding a custom color

1. Go to your favorite image editer (I like https://piskelapp.com).
2. Create a new 16x16 image, and color the entire thing with one solid color.
3. Save the photo as a png and put it into the assets/cubes/textures/block folder.
4. 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.)
