Json block behaviors HorizontalUpDownOrientable

Purpose

The behavior selects an orientation variant of a block when the block is placed. The orientation variant is selected based on the orientation of the player. The orientation type includes all 4 horizontal directions. In addition to having variants for all 4 horizontal directions with the block right side up, the orientation type includes an additional 4 horizontal directions with the blocks upside down. So the orientation type has a total of 8 states.

When the block is broken, the "up" "north" variant is dropped.

Used by blocks

This behavior is not used by any of the vanilla blocks.

Usage

The second to last variant group of the block must include the "up" and "down" states. The last variant group of the block must include the 4 cardinal directions. The variant groups must be the last 2 in the block, but the codes of the variant groups do not matter for this behavior.

The variant states can be specified directly via the states field, is cleaner to load them from the abstract/verticalorientation and abstract/horizontalorientation world properties:

	variantgroups: [
		{ code:"v", loadFromProperties: "abstract/verticalorientation" }
		{ code:"side", loadFromProperties: "abstract/horizontalorientation" }
	],
