Overlay textures on item

[fading heath]

How can I make a texture overlay the texture of an item or a block? For example I want to make compacted variants of my items so I want to put a x2 in one of the corners and I don't want to redo every texture. Thanks in advance

[spark hollow]

you mean you want the texture to change as there are more items in the stack?

you may need to further explain this to me a bit so i understand your premise because if its just an item stack texture change then theres an easy way to do it with a resource pack

[crude thunder]

He wants to make like compressed items

like 9x iron block gives 1x compressed iron block

9x 1x compressed iron block gives 2x compressed iron block

and I think he wants to add an overlay indicating it is a 2x compressed for example

[fading heath]

Yes exactly

I just want to add a x2 on one corner of the item/block without having to make an extra texture for every one

[next pebble]

if its a custom item with a normal item model its rather easy, just another layer in the model json

if its a block's item its a ton harder cause its not a flat texture

like so: https://misode.github.io/assets/model/?share=HWPeDR05v9

[fading heath]

I don't use models

[next pebble]

yes you do

unless you like that pink and black checkered texture

[next pebble]

if you dont provide a custom mdel kubejs will generate one for you based on the data you provided

[fading heath]

Ah ok

So how would I add a second layer to that?

[next pebble]

.textureJson.addProperty("layer1", "kubejs:item/other_texture")

after everything else, or save your item to a variable and use it on that

[fading heath]

event.create('dyson_sphere_energy_core').texture('kubejs:item/white_energy_core').textureJson.addProperty("layer1", "kubejs:item/x2_overlay").color(0, 0xFFA500).displayName('Dyson sphere energy core')Like thins?

[next pebble]

after everything else

[fading heath]

event.create('dyson_sphere_energy_core').texture('kubejs:item/white_energy_core').color(0, 0xFFA500).displayName('Dyson sphere energy core').textureJson.addProperty("layer1", "kubejs:item/x2_overlay")Like this?

[next pebble]

yes

[fading heath]

Ok

Why does it have to be at the end?

Thanks a lot btw

[next pebble]

because addProperty is void and doesnt return anything

so any methods after it would try and execute on nothing

💥

[fading heath]

Ok thanks

These are some of the items

[next pebble]

what is line 486

that second error makes no sense
it definitely exists, im staring at it in my ide

[next pebble]

i have no idea how you would do it for blocks

[fading heath]

Is it possible to do it just for the block item?

[next pebble]

you would have to give it a flat item model

[fading heath]

How?

[fading heath]

I removed the block part for now

[amber rover]

Paste version of startup.log from @fading heath

[fading heath]

```Line 405, its the first item where I add the overlay

[spark hollow]

wouldnt that just be a seperate block all together then?

[fading heath]

It is a seperate block but I don't want to make all the textures for a compacted variant, I want to use an overlay instead

[spark hollow]

oh i see

[fading heath]

Can you help me with the crash?

[spark hollow]

yeah lemme look

i have a bit to catch up on

[spark hollow]

have you tried just using .overlayTexture('kubejs:item/x3_overlay'

for example

[fading heath]

No

But will do now

Dos this work for items as well?

[spark hollow]

hmm MAYBE

not sure

i just pulled it from this #1119630229594443858 message

[amber rover]

[Quote ➤](#1119630229594443858 message) Not sure if this is something I did in my definition here. It seems to render black behind any transparent block

StartupEvents.registry('fluid', event => {
    let blood = event.create('blood')
        .viscosity(1500).density(1400)
        .flowingTexture('kubejs:block/blood_flow').stillTexture('kubejs:block/blood_still')
    let attributes = blood.createAttributes()
    blood.attributes = attributes.dropOff(2).slopeFindDistance(3).tickDelay(20).overlayTexture('kubejs:block/blood_overlay')
})

[fading heath]

It does not

[spark hollow]

fair enough

[fading heath]

But the game doesn't load with the textureJson

[spark hollow]

hmm

you mean your texture isnt showing up now?

[fading heath]

It crashes

[spark hollow]

crash report plox

and startup events

[fading heath]

Let me reproduce it really quick

[spark hollow]

bet

[amber rover]

Paste version of block_items_creation.js, startup.log, crash-2023-08-12_14.56.02-fml.txt from @fading heath

[spark hollow]

so it seems its still crashing with the previous addproperty function, i really meant to ask you to remove it before trying

im actually starting to think my method wont work because the overlay may only show up when the block is placed down in the world

[fading heath]

But that is needed for the overlay of the items

Without that it works fine

[spark hollow]

yeah thats what im trying to figure out, for some reason the examples ive seen online for the .addProperty are for loot tables

json loot tables

[sharp hollow]

@fading heath im basically doing the same thing as you and i have no idea how to add an overlays or second texture, so ive manually made the textures💀

[fading heath]

💀

[sharp hollow]

have you found a solution yet

[fading heath]

But thanks for the info

No

I just made the textures a bit darker when they are compacted

[sharp hollow]

i feel like a parent model would work

[fading heath]

I have no idea to be honest

[white wave]

A bit late, but you can just do .texture('layer1', 'kubejs:item/overlay') to add a second layer, with the small caveat that you will have to manually set the base textures as well with .texture('kubejs:item/itemname') if you aren't already

also, you can do a similar thing for blocks on Forge using the composite model, but it's a bit more complicated and requires overriding the entire modelJson

[fading heath]

I will try that once I get home, thanks a lot. And yes I am already using .texture

[fading heath]

I am using for, do you know how to do it? If yes would you be so kind and tell me how to do it?

[white wave]

So the basics are you just need the model file to look like

{
    "parent": "minecraft:block/block",
    "loader": "forge:composite",
    "textures": {
      "particle": "minecraft:block/dirt"
    },

    "parts": {
      "solid": {
        "render_type": "solid",
        "parent": "minecraft:block/dirt"
      },
      "translucent": {
        "render_type": "translucent",
        "parent": "minecraft:block/cube_all",
        "textures": {
          "all": "kubejs:block/example_overlay"
        }
      }
    }
  }

I'm just not entirely sure how to override a block model in the startup event

[fading heath]

Is it possible to just add the overly to the item of the block?

[sharp hollow]

aw sweet im trying it now

event.create('compressed_dirt_test').displayName('Compressed Dirt test (1x)').parentModel("kubejs:block/dirt").material('dirt').hardness(2.5);

[02:06:04] [ERROR] ! #5: Error occurred while handling event 'StartupEvents.registry': TypeError: Cannot find function parentModel in object dev.latvian.mods.kubejs.block.custom.BasicBlockJS$Builder@3a9cc3d2. (startup_scripts:CompressedBlocks.js#5)

cant get it to work

ive named the json dirt.json and put it in assets/models/block/dirt.json

    "parent": "minecraft:block/block",
    "loader": "forge:composite",
    "textures": {
        "particle": "minecraft:block/dirt"
    },

    "parts": {
        "solid": {
            "render_type": "solid",
            "parent": "minecraft:block/dirt"
        },
        "translucent": {
            "render_type": "translucent",
            "parent": "minecraft:block/cube_all",
            "textures": {
                "all": "kubejs:block/overlays/layer_1"
            }
        }
    }
}```

[white wave]

Get rid of .parentModel("kubejs:block/dirt")
