Need help with the additional animations any advice would be appreciated
Do you wanna know the Optifine CIT or the vanilla way?
cloud edge
I just wanna know how to get my design to work properly in game.

I can't help you before you answer the question, cause the methods are different
cloud edge
I am using it on a server so I think it's the vanilla way since Optifine is modded I believe

!faq bow-model
This is an example of an overrides section of the bow.json to add more bows for the vanilla Java Edition.
If you don't know how/where to add this to your bow.json file, copy the one from the default pack (check !faq default-pack if you don't know how to get the files) and replace the overrides section in there with this:
"overrides": [
{ "predicate": {"pulling": 1 }, "model": "item/bow_pulling_0" },
{ "predicate": {"pulling": 1, "pull": 0.65 }, "model": "item/bow_pulling_1" },
{ "predicate": {"pulling": 1, "pull": 0.9 }, "model": "item/bow_pulling_2" },
{ "predicate": { "custom_model_data": 1 }, "model": "custom/fire_bow" },
{ "predicate": { "custom_model_data": 1, "pulling": 1 }, "model": "custom/fire_bow_pulling0" },
{ "predicate": { "custom_model_data": 1, "pulling": 1, "pull": 0.65 }, "model": "custom/fire_bow_pulling1" },
{ "predicate": { "custom_model_data": 1, "pulling": 1, "pull": 0.9 }, "model": "custom/fire_bow_pulling2" }
]```
**Explanation of the predicates:**
_pulling_ = bow gets pulled (either 0 or 1)
_pull_ = how much is the bow pulled in % (numbers from 0 to 1)
You can also have more/less pull models if you want it to look smoother btw.
Keep in mind that the order of predicates matters. It will always use the model of the last predicate in the list whose conditions are all met!does the pull have to be exactly .65? or can it just be a design prefrence?

if you aren't familiar with editing json I'd suggest copying the default bow.json from the default pack into your own pack, then loading it into Blockbench and editing the predicates in Blockbench (Tools > Edit Predicate Overrides or something along those lines)

0.65 just means 65% pulled (and is what the default bow uses)

so doesn't matter much just its the "image" of what it should look like.

the model
cloud edge
For the json file I've never edited predicates but I assume that I can Look up the same info and input the json file name of the other designs correct?
because I made multiple models for the bow already and saved the different json files
Just cram the correct names in there correct?
static kernel
you will reference them all in bow.json (similar to how the fire_bow model example in the bot message)
