Resourcepack not loading into minecraft

[lone herald]

My resource pack isnt appearing in minecraft resourcepack option. I'm using 1.18.2

[quasi jetty]

then your pack.mcmeta has a problem, is named wrong or is not at the correct position (or doesn't exist in the first place)

[lone herald]

could you help me with that please? im quite new to this

[quasi jetty]

do you have a pack.mcmeta?

[lone herald]

im not sure what that is

Disclaimers:
-This is a tutorial to get your item/block models into a normal Java Edition resource pack.
-Any folders that are mentioned need to be created if they aren't there yet!
-Do the steps in that exact order!

Step 0: Setup
In Blockbench:
Your project needs to be in the Java Block/Item format. (Check at File > Project... in Blockbench).
If it's not convert it via File > Convert Project. ATTENTION: This will break the model visually due to format specific restrictions! (see !faq java-rotation and !faq java-sizelimit)

-Your Pack:
Create a folder inside Minecraft's resource pack folder (will be referred to as "YourPack" for the rest of this tutorial). It is usually at C:\Users\INSERT_YOUR_PC_USER_HERE\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\resourcepacks. Put this file https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/883449189533638777/899224109869846558/pack.mcmeta in there.

Step 1: Saving Textures
Save all your textures first.
To do that either:
-press Ctrl+S, or
-click on the save icon next to the texture(s), or
-rightclick the texture(s) and click "Save As"
Make sure to save them directly in any subfolder of YourPack/assets/minecraft/textures.
Reason: If you don't do that or move/rename the files later your model won't find the textures anymore.

Do not use any capital letters or spaces in file or folder names or they will be invalid for a vanilla client! (except for the pack's main folder).

Step 2: Exporting the Model
After saving the textures use File > Export > Block/Item and save the json file in YourPack/assets/minecraft/models/item (or /block, depending whether you replace an item in your inventory etc. or a placed block.).
Name the file based on the id of the thing you wanna replace (totem_of_undying for a Totem of Undying for example). Check the default pack if you are not sure what the exact name is (see !faq default-pack for more information)

oh now its appearing

it says made for older version of minecraft tho

would you know why that might be or how to update it for newer versions? I'm running 1.18.2

[quasi jetty]

change the pack_format value in the pack.mcmeta file (with any text editor)

also, that number has no effect whatsoever besides showing that message

[lone herald]

so instead of 7, I put 1.18.2?

would you also help me with my textures not loading please?

they are in this path

and my model is in this path

[quasi jetty]

no, instead of 7 you put 8

also, you can't have spaces in your file names

[lone herald]

oh

[quasi jetty]

and I'd need to see the first few lines of the (custom) model to see where the model is looking for the textures

[lone herald]

I hope this is what you mean

[quasi jetty]

k, it should be able to load those from where you said they are (assuming they have the correct name ofc)

[lone herald]

they are

but the item appears as a purple/black bock

here I changed the name of the model so it has _ in it and now the model doesnt load whatsoever

[quasi jetty]

well, purple/black cube usually means syntax error, not just missing textures

check your output log for errors/warnings

!faq output-log

[shut cape]

The output log will show you errors related to resource packs in Minecraft: Java Edition. Here is how you can enable it: https://i.imgur.com/WbQZa6k.png
(PS: Optifine likes to hide vanilla errors/warnings for some weird reason, so always load the game up without it if you don't need it for your pack to work!)

[lone herald]

I think it wants me to put underscores in the name

but when I do that, then the model wont load at all

[quasi jetty]

yeah, you need to put it in the file name AND in the custom_model_data reference (like you have done here)

[lone herald]

what exactly do you mean?

this is the name of the file

and this is the custom model data reference

like this, when I load the resource pack, the iron axe looks normal, without my model

[quasi jetty]

what's the command you used to get the iron axe?

[lone herald]

I'm taking it from item menu in creative

its set for iron axe so I thought I'd get it from there

[quasi jetty]

you set it to be on an iron axe IF it has the CustomModelData:123456 NBT

if you just wanna replace all iron axes then just name your model iron_axe

(and get rid of the old one)

[lone herald]

oh it works
