Templates is an API for Carpenter's Blocks-like templated blocks. Currently, plain slopes are the only built-in template blocks.

Template blocks can be placed in the world, then right-clicked with a full-size block to set the textures for the template. Template blocks will inherit light and redstone values from the blocks they're given, or they can have light or redstone output added to any given block by right-clicking the template with glowstone dust or a redstone torch, respectively.

Todo

• Re-generalize the model system (I removed a layer of indirection while rewriting it, so it's just slopes now)
• Upside-down slopes would be nice...
• "Counterrotate" blockstates
  • In the old system, the north/south/east/west faces were constructed individually, so it'd look at the north side of the theme model when computing the north face, the east side of the theme model when computing the east face, etc
  • In the current system, there is only one (south-facing) slope model, and I move its vertices around with a quad transformer to obtain other rotations. (built off the vanilla AffineTransformation)
  • But this means... when i'm building the "left" side of the slope, what side of the block should i look at? I have to undo this affine transformation

Notes for addon developers

To create your block, instantiate or extend TemplateBlock. Pass your Block.Settings through TemplateBlock.configureSettings to wire up the "click for glowstone" feature. Create an ItemBlock as normal, and create a BlockEntityType by instantiating or extending TemplateEntity.

Next, wire up the custom model todo document this, it's easy
