How do Custom Variants work?

Does it let you have log like blocks, so they rotate?
Where do i put the custom_variants: is it like items: or does it go into a block?

There is an example.
These variants work exactly how vanilla LilyPad works. You will get a random model on each placement of the block.
This has nothing to do with rotation of blocks like logs and similar.

          custom_variants:
            variant1:
              model: "minecraft:block/end_stone_bricks"
              y: 90
            variant2:
              model: "minecraft:block/end_stone_bricks"
              y: 180
              x: 90
            variant3:
              model: "minecraft:block/diamond_block"
              uvlock: true
            variant4:
              model: "minecraft:block/cobblestone"

If you want directional blocks you can try this unofficial addon (I didn't make it so I don't know if it works nor I have control over it).
But keep in mind that I didn't implement directional blocks because they have some limitations and they lower down the amount of usable blocks of a lot, remember that custom blocks are limited (check the wiki for the amounts).
