=== Simple Block ===

Blocks are textured a little differently since they default to generic "cube" shape. This means they don't use the singular "texture" method, and instead always use a version of the plural "textures":

   all: {base: "path to texture*"}

=== Texturing Other Block Faces ===

When assigning textures "all" will give every side the same texture, but we can easily customize each side, especially if we want to use some block behaviors like <code>"Pillar"</code> or <code>"HorizontalOrientable"</code>:

   up: { base: "path to top texture" },

   down: { base: "path to bottom texture" },

   south: { base: "path to back texture" },

   north: { base: "path to front texture" },

   west: { base: "path to left texture" },

   east: { base: "path to right texture" },

Keep in mind that if you're using the <code>"Pillar"</code> or <code>"HorizontalOrientable"</code> behaviors you'll need directional variants for each (such as updown, northsouth, eastwest etc.) and you'll likely have to organize it using the ByType functionality. A great example of this is the log (Pillar) and altar (HorizontalOrientable) JSONS.  

== Texturing an Entity ==

=== Basic Entity Texture ===

All entities utilize a shape, but generally they are applied using a single entity map texture, which is essentially a texture file with each cube side mapped onto it. Doing this manually would be incredibly tedious, and is best done with the Vintage Story Model Builder found [[VS Model Creator| here]].   

Once you have your properly mapped out texture you can assign it to your entity:

<code>texture: { base: "path to texture map" }</code>

=== Alternative Entity Textures ===

after defining the first texture, you can also add alternatives to the same entity. Lets look at the Wolf for an example:

texture: { base: "entity/wolf/wolf1", alternates: [ { base: "entity/wolf/wolf2" }, { base: "entity/wolf/wolf2" }, {...} ] }

Each successive alternative should be numbered (starting with 1).
