where do i put the | Blockbench | Page 1

#

Do you wanna add another model to an item as a (controlled) variant of that item or do you wanna completely replace the model of an item?

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:16 PM

#

no, like to make my model work. theres like code and where i put the custom model data number.

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:16 PM

#

I just wanna make sure you actually wanna use custom_model_data and not just replace the whole item model.

#

if you want to use custom_model_data to give, for example, a stick a different model if you give yourself a stick with that CustomModelData value you'd do something like this:

#

!faq custom_model_data

heavy oracleBOT Oct 16, 2022, 10:18 PM

#

lilac fog !faq custom_model_data

Disclaimer: This only works for items (not placed blocks!) and only if you are in Java Edition 1.14 or later!

Example to give a stick 4 new models:
You'd place this file in YourResourcePack/assets/minecraft/models/item and call it stick.json.

stick.json

{
    "parent": "item/generated",
    "textures": {
        "layer0": "item/stick"
    },
    "overrides": [
        { "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 1}, "model": "item/custom_stick"},
        { "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 2}, "model": "custom/branch"},
        { "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 3}, "model": "block/stone"},
        { "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 4}, "model": "item/more_sticks"}
    ]
}```
Ingame you can give yourself one of the custom sticks by doing `/give <player> stick{CustomModelData:X}` (X being replaced by the number you want)

*PS: The model path is **always** relative to the models folder of your pack.*
*So `"item/custom_stick"` will load the model in `YourPack/assets/minecraft/models/item` called custom_stick.json.*
*For `"custom/branch"` it would be the model in `YourPack/assets/minecraft/models/custom` called branch.json and so on.*

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:18 PM

#

(IF you just want to remodel all sticks then you name your actual custom model model stick.json instead of putting that code up there into stick.json)

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:26 PM

#

where do i put it?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:27 PM

#

well, first of all, don't use capital letters in file/folder names (nor spaces, just fyi)
That makes the file completely invalid for a vanilla client.

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:27 PM

#

oh

#

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:27 PM

#

Second of all that position is fine.
Your pack doesn't need to be a .zip file btw. (common misconception).
It can be just a folder, which even allows you to edit the pack while you are ingame (and then use F3+T ingame to reload the pack)

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:28 PM

#

no wait

#

where do i put {
"parent": "item/generated",
"textures": {
"layer0": "item/stick"
},
"overrides": [
{ "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 1}, "model": "item/custom_stick"},
{ "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 2}, "model": "custom/branch"},
{ "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 3}, "model": "block/stone"},
{ "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 4}, "model": "item/more_sticks"}
]
}

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:28 PM

#

in the .json of the item you want to give those models

#

so if you wanna do that for a stick you'd put that in stick.json

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:29 PM

#

OH

#

so i find the stick model

#

and put it in there>

#

there?*

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:29 PM

#

well, there is nothing to "find"
you just make a file called stick.json and put that in there

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:30 PM

#

oh

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:30 PM

#

that example is already the default model of the stick + some example custom_model_data predicates

#

basically like that

#

the red part you'd basically check in the default pack.
the green part is up to your model names and locations (and how many variants you need)

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:31 PM

#

k

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:32 PM

#

if you add/remove predicate lines just make sure there is a comma at the end of each line except for the last line (else the game expects another predicate line, doesn't get one and invalidates the whole file)

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:32 PM

#

so this?

#

how do i open the file?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

rose edge so this?

if you want your models to be on a stick, yes

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

rose edge how do i open the file?

any text editor of your choice

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

winraw

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

Winrar ain't a text editor

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

oh

#

what is

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

Notepad

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

Ohhhhhhhhhhh

#

so i open it

#

and then what?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

it should already suggest text editors (and other stuff) when you rightclick it and click "Open With"

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:34 PM

#

hm?

#

oh

#

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:34 PM

#

rose edge and then what?

click on "More Apps ↓"

#

Notepad is preinstalled on all Windows devices, so at least that should be there

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:35 PM

#

oh

#

what should it be called?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:36 PM

#

what should what be called?

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:36 PM

#

the app

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:37 PM

#

Notepad

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:37 PM

#

my one is called "Notepad++ for raylib

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

Notepad++ is a different program (basically a better version)

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

oh

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

and yes, use that one

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

but my brother already has smth on it

#

how do i create diff thing

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:39 PM

#

rose edge but my brother already has smth on it

as in when you open Notepad++ your brother's files are already open in there?

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:39 PM

#

it shows his project

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

In Notepad++?

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

ye it showsit

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

ignore them

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

when i open it

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

just open your file and ignore the other tabs

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

how open my file?

#

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:41 PM

#

either Rightclick > Open With
or you just drag and drop the file into Notepad++

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:41 PM

#

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:41 PM

#

why did you rename your custom model to stick.json 🤔 ?

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:41 PM

#

cuz u said no capitals

#

so i just renamed it to stick.json

#

why

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

no, I meant why is your custom model the stick.json?
You just said earlier you want to use custom_model_data to put your custom model as a variant model of the stick item.

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

ye

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

then you can't name it stick.json

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

ok

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:43 PM

#

rose edge where do i put { "parent": "item/generated", "textures": { "laye...

cause this is already what will be in stick.json
and your custom model is a separate file you reference via those predicate liens

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:43 PM

#

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:43 PM

#

lilac fog cause this is already what will be in stick.json and your custom model is a sepa...

so i put that in the notepad?

#

this?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:44 PM

#

you forgot to copy a { at the very beginning

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

#

oh

#

how bout dis?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

not the prettiest, but since whitespace (spaces, newlines etc.) don't matter it should work

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

then what do i do?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

well, you still gotta change custom_stick to burger

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:46 PM

#

oh yeah

#

final?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:47 PM

#

well, unless you made a texture called "steak" there aint an item texture that exists in the default pack

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:47 PM

#

i thought thats the item

#

also steak needs to be "cooked_beef"

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:47 PM

#

yes

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:48 PM

#

#

this good?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:48 PM

#

yes, now save the file and call it cooked_beef.json and put it with the others

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:48 PM

#

mkay

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:48 PM

#

actually, one thing

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:48 PM

#

cooked_beef.json for name?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

set that to "all types", then use cooked_beef.json as name, yes

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

wdym "all types"?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

look at the top of that list

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

correct name?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

yes

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

where is "All types"?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

doesn't matter, it seems like it doesn't enforce the type when saving anyways

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

ok

#

so how do i move it with the rest?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:51 PM

#

like any other file?

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:51 PM

#

how do i drag it?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:51 PM

#

you just put the file where the others are

#

Do I really need to explain to you how to move a file from one folder to another 🤔 ?

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:52 PM

#

when i drag it like this, the folder minimizes.

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:53 PM

#

you don't drag that

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:53 PM

#

oh...

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:53 PM

#

is this your first time using a PC?

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:53 PM

#

no

#

but i dont do stuff like this alot

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:53 PM

#

you saved that file somewhere

#

now you go there

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:54 PM

#

Oh

#

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:54 PM

#

not like that

#

in your file explorer

#

nothing with Notepad++

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:54 PM

#

oh

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:54 PM

#

this is a completely normal file

#

this isn't any different from dragging some game icon around on the Desktop (idea wise)

#

just that you move a file from one folder to another

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:55 PM

#

k

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:55 PM

#

rose edge

have two file explorers open
one like in this screenshot, and the other where you just saved that file
then you drag it from one explorer to the other

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:56 PM

#

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:58 PM

#

why are we looking at your Roaming folder now?

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 10:58 PM

#

do i drag it into here?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 10:59 PM

#

yes

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:00 PM

#

so is this right?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:01 PM

#

looks correct

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:01 PM

#

then do i load up the texture pack?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:01 PM

#

you go into Minecraft, make sure the pack is equipped then use F3+T (ingame) to reload the pack
(or, if the pack isn't equipped yet you equip it)

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:02 PM

#

Ok

#

then do i do /give @s cooked_beef{CustomModelData:1}?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:02 PM

#

yes

#

though depending on where you put your burger's texture it might or might not look correct

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:02 PM

#

ok

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:03 PM

#

(which is separate from that whole custom_model_data part though)

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:04 PM

#

#

uh oh

#

what do i do here?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:05 PM

#

huh, so unless your burger is supposed to be a block (ignoring the wrong texture) I'm not quiet sure what it doesn't like 🤔

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:05 PM

#

it aint a block

#

ill just create another model for it

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:06 PM

#

wait

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:06 PM

#

?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:06 PM

#

why is this all about sticks again?

#

(in your last screenshot)

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:06 PM

#

but, i changed it

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:06 PM

#

what happened to this?

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:06 PM

#

whats what i ttyped

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:07 PM

#

k, open the cooked_beef.json (from your pack!, not from the other place!), in Notepad++ (drag and drop it in)

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:08 PM

#

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:08 PM

#

change custom_stick to burger

#

then Ctrl+S

#

wait

#

no

#

that's the wrong file

#

I said from your pack

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:09 PM

#

Oh

#

#

i drag that into notepad?

#

oh

#

i forgot

#

#

this?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:11 PM

#

yes, save it (Ctrl+S)

#

then go to Minecraft and press F3+T ingame

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:11 PM

#

ok

#

done

#

progress?

#

just no color 😦

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:12 PM

#

k, I kinda expected that (but it's progress)

#

did you use the web version of Blockbench or the installed version?

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:12 PM

#

installed

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:13 PM

#

k, then you seem to not have saved the texture before exporting the model

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:14 PM

#

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:14 PM

#

lilac fog k, then you seem to not have saved the texture _before_ exporting the model

oh

#

do i delete 'burger.json' and remake model?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:14 PM

#

no

#

so you have 2 options now:
-open the burger.json in Notepad++ and adjust the texture path from "block/texture" to the actual location/name of the file (so for example item/burger or wherever the texture is inside your pack's "textures" folder)
-open burger.json in Blockbench, rigthclick the missing texture and click "Change File" and load the texture (directly from the resource pack)

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:15 PM

#

one issue: the thing got deleted when blockbench updated

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:18 PM

#

Blockbench doesn't delete files

#

unless you literally saved your files inside the Blockbench program files

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:18 PM

#

but it didnt show

#

ima just create new model?

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:18 PM

#

rose edge but it didnt show

yes, cause the texture is referenced wrong in your model, so Blockbench can't automatically find it

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:19 PM

#

oh

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:19 PM

#

rose edge ima just create new model?

no

#

-open burger.json in Blockbench, rigthclick the missing texture and click "Change File" and load the texture (directly from the resource pack)

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:19 PM

#

oh

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:19 PM

#

that

#

do that, nothing else

#

just cause you made a mistake doesn't mean your whole work needs to be redone completely

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:19 PM

#

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:23 PM

#

just drag your burger.json in there like you did for notepad++

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:23 PM

#

Oh ok

#

#

that is why!

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:24 PM

#

rightclick that > "Change File" > load the texture from your resource pack

rose edge Oct 16, 2022, 11:24 PM

#

oh, i deleted the texture...

#

brb dinner

lilac fog Oct 16, 2022, 11:24 PM

#

no

#

why is your first instinct "let's throw everything away" if something doesn't work exactly as intended?

#

get the texture back from the trash bin, then do that.
Then save the model again.
That's it.

#

It's already 1:25 AM for me, I'm not gonna help you when you come back from dinner
