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)
• See what I can do about using the vanilla rotation system (ModelBakeSettings.getRotation) instead of manually rotating the Mesh
  • A simplification of the mesh system would definitely reduce the friction of adding new meshes (see all the paintXxx stuff in SlopeMeshTransformer, it's fairly ugly)
  • Upside-down slopes would be nice...
• (if i may): Packages-ish "retexturing" of json blockmodels

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. im going to refactor this in like 5 seconds so im not documenting it >:).
