How to use:

cube_all_overlayed.json
cube_overlayed.json
ore.json

are all block model files yhat should go in /assets/MODID/models/block/


tin_ore.json
is an example blockstate that should go in /assets/MODID/blockstates/

Your texture should be your ore texture without any stone background, just the ore part


Repalace all instances of "your_cool_modid" with your mod id
