Custom Glazed Terracotta
FORMAT & MIN ENGINE VERSION 1.21.90
This tutorial assumes a basic understanding of blocks. Check out the blocks guide before starting.
Glazed Terracotta has its own rotation mechanism, enabling players to craft aesthetically pleasing patterns for walls, floors and ceilings when placing the block from both above and below. This guide will teach you how to create your own blocks resembling Glazed Terracotta.

}Block Model
Vanilla glazed terracotta rotates its bottom faces differently, which is what gives the block its magic. This requires two separate bottom faces with different rotations.
