Vanilla Block Models

Although custom blocks are unable to make use of vanilla block shapes, Mojang provides several minecraft namespaced models that replicate their look!

Applying Vanilla Models ​

Vanilla block models are applied in the same way as custom block models, using the geometry component, with textures defined in material instances:

"minecraft:geometry": "minecraft:geometry.full_block",
"minecraft:material_instances": {
    "*": {
        "texture": "cobblestone"
    }
}

List of Vanilla Models ​

This documentation is up to date as of release 1.26.50.

Preview	Identifier	Additional Notes
	minecraft:geometry.cross	When used on a block, ambient_occlusion and face_dimming should be set to false in any material instances. This model should only be used in combination with render methods that apply backface culling ("alpha_test_single_sided", "blend" and "opaque") to avoid texture flickering. Hardcoded — this model is not data-driven meaning it cannot be found as a JSON file in the vanilla resource pack.
	minecraft:geometry.full_block	When used by a block with the "opaque" render method, a shadow is cast onto surrounding blocks and adjacent block faces are culled. This model cannot be used in format versions prior to 1.26.0 as backwards compatibility mapping results in minecraft:geometry.full_block_v1 being used instead. Hardcoded — this model is not data-driven meaning it cannot be found as a JSON file in the vanilla resource pack.
	minecraft:geometry.full_block_v1	Deprecated — the bottom face of this model is rotated 180 degrees compared to vanilla full blocks so minecraft:geometry.full_block should be used instead. When used by a block with the "opaque" render method, a shadow is cast onto surrounding blocks and adjacent block faces are culled. Hardcoded — this model is not data-driven meaning it cannot be found as a JSON file in the vanilla resource pack.
	minecraft:geometry.shelf_mushroom_large
	minecraft:geometry.shelf_mushroom_small
	minecraft:geometry.straw_bed_foot	This model should only be used in combination with render methods that apply backface culling ("alpha_test_single_sided", "blend" and "opaque") to avoid texture flickering.
	minecraft:geometry.straw_bed_head	This model should only be used in combination with render methods that apply backface culling ("alpha_test_single_sided", "blend" and "opaque") to avoid texture flickering.
