[1.12] List of key in textures section of model json file?

[dakamojo]

What are the possible keys in the texture section of a model json file?  Is it documented anywhere?  For example I want all side to use the same texture (not not top and bottom).  Is there a cleaner way than this?  I tired the key "side" but it didn't work.

 

{
  "parent": "block/cube_all",
  "textures": {
    "up": "blocks/stone",
    "down": "blocks/stone",
    "east": "earlygameminer:blocks/miner_stone_side",
    "west": "earlygameminer:blocks/miner_stone_side",
    "north": "earlygameminer:blocks/miner_stone_side",
    "south": "earlygameminer:blocks/miner_stone_side"
  }
}

You're using cube_all as the parent model, which defines that all six sides use the texture key "#all". You want cube_bottom_top instead, which uses #top, #bottom, and #side.

Thanks.  Where can I find the documentation for this?

Open up the model json file(s) from the Referenced Libraries -> ForgeSrc[version] -> assets.minecraft.models.block

 

There are 8 template cube_xxx models that are easily located. For other blocks, as long as you know the name of a vanilla block that uses it, you can find its parent name from that model.
