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>"
        }
    }

1. 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
2. Next, go to the assets/cubes/items folder
3. Create a file with the SAME NAME as the file you made in step 3.
4. Copy the following code:

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

1. Replace <file> with the EXACT name of the file you created in step 3, but without “.json” at the end.
2. Save and close the file
3. Enjoy your custom cube!

Adding a custom color

1. Go to your favorite image editer (I like https://piskelapp.com).
2. Create a new 16×16 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.)
