Once you have created your own shape you need to export it as a json file, create a new folder <code>assets/myshinyblock/shapes/block/</code> and save the file in there.

I created another model for the blocks in good condition ([http://wiki.vintagestory.at/images/f/fa/Myshinymodel1.json myshinymodel1.json]), because they should look more awesome, than the ones in used conditions. Therefore we need to copy the json file to <code>assets/myshinyblock/shapes/block/</code> as well.

In order to specify the shape by type we need to remove the property <code>shape</code> and replace it with <code>shapebytype</code>:

There are a lot of more things you can do with the blocktype and model formats. We recommend you to take a look at the Vintage Story block type files to understand how the system is working, in case something was left unexplained.
