Did you know that some blocks have different texture rotations depending on the coordinates of the block?

Today I discovered this with a friend:

Everyone knows that blocks like furnaces and stairs can be rotated and blocks like dirt can’t, but what if I told you that you can! Dirt for example has different rotations but these rotations are coordinates dependent. This means that replacing a dirt block at its same location will always show the same texture rotation because the coordinates of the block didn’t change. But changing the location of the dirt block could show the texture rotated differently than where it was placed first.

Knowing that a block can have only 4 rotations the dirt block keeps rotating around the Minecraft world giving all the possible combinations to compare 4 connected blocks!

Even better, the rotation of a block at specific coordinates is the same at each seed so if you placed a dirt block at 363 63 12 it will have the same rotation at any other seed at 363 63 12.

This means that if you see for example a cross in the middle of 4 blocks (like in the first picture) and you go to another seed at the same coordinates, you will see the cross there!

I thought this was cool so I shared it here.
